When I got home, I turned on the tube and to my horror, the local ABC station was going through Bush's 8 years again ... OMG ... WTF!?! Needless to say, I turned off the TV in horror until Obama was back at the mike later. <BR/><BR/>I can only imagine what Bush would have done with "ameliorate" ... "Amelia ate what???" No matter ... pay no attention to that little man now in Texas ... he's out from behind the curtain. :-) <BR/><BR/>I love Jared's last line from his friend the best. And, yes, I am white, and it totally applies. How many words of celebration, relief, praise, etc. can we come up with? Not enough to convey how good I am feeling about our new president.<BR/><BR/>Shirleygfe--gluten free easilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182613995248482102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-48835872034808237662009-01-21T12:02:00.000-05:002009-01-21T12:02:00.000-05:00"Collective pronoun subject."
