It all goes downhill from here!

I’m on deadline right now, but I just wanted to wish you and yours a very happy New President Day. I’m not sure if it’s hit you yet, but go to Whitehouse.gov and maybe it will. And make sure to check out the speech on line if you didn’t get a chance to watch it live–despite being on deadline, I did slip out to a bar with some coworkers, and was duly impressed by how balls out Obama’s first speech as CiC was. And when I say “balls out,” I mean it can be summarized as so: “Hey, let’s all thank President Bush for his service. Now, we are all here today because we as Americans collectively decided that we were finished with this evil childish bullshit.” He did in fact use the word “childish” at one point, not-so-subtly referring to the previous administration. That Jon Favreau guy is pretty fierce.
