the tide is turning
i managed to catch the inauguration of the new president of the united states of america - i hope this isn't becoming a political blog - as you do on an average weekday eve every other 4 years. i was glad that i managed to catch the main hoo-ha speeches, especially the new presidents'. i liked the hard-arsed stance, but the highlight was the end of it all, the prayer:
...it got quite a few chuckles from the crowd and i think it put a needed light hearted-ness on the 'stiff upper lip' ceremony, imho, a nice way to end...
when brown will stick around
when white will do right
when yellow will mellow
...
amen
on a little bit of an obscure note, i read an article about the betting on phrases that may be used by barack obama in his inauguration speech. i wonder if the "god bless america" was close enough for his phrase of "god bless the united states of america"... somehow, i think not (it is gambling after all)? i am not sure about the other phrases mentioned in that article?
