• Crazies Can Be Entertaining

    It is finally sinking in that we have finally gotten a President that I like. For the first time the guy I voted for won. On is first day in office he is already making some good changes. He froze the pay of White House employees making over $100,000. Treating the White House just like any other company trying to survive the recession. He also vowed to increase openness and improve ethics in Washington. The big thing he did was order Guantanamo Bay to close within a year.

    We usually listen to talk radio at night at work because we really don’t have a music station worth listening too around here. I can’t really stand listening to the crazies like Hannity, Ingraham, or Limbaugh though. Last night we listened to Alan Colmes, who is much much better. Most talk radio show caller’s are right-wing nutjobs. They can be pretty entertaining and funny to listen too. Last night crazies were calling in saying Obama’s Presidency was already a failure. They were calling in and encouraging all their fellow crazies to pray for Obama to fail, or better yet, his death. It was pretty entertaining. Good thing praying doesn’t do crap and is worthless.

  • Historic Inauguration

    So this morning (I guess is was yesterday now) before I went to work I was able to catch the inauguration. I watched it on one computer and followed Twitter on another. It was a historic day. It sure makes you love our country the way we can have peaceful change of power like that. It was also amazing seeing how happy most people I follow are Twitter were. A few thought today was the end of the world, but I never understand those people anyway.

    Obama has some pretty high expectations. I doubt he will totally live up to them, but I do believe it will be a well needed change. It’s going to be nice to have a President who believes in science and understands technology. It’s going to be weird actually agreeing with our President on things, but I am sure I will get use to it. He inherits a mess. I don’t envy his job.
