Wow.

Rev. Joseph E. Lowery's benediction was utterly mindblowing. I'll post a video and transcript when I can. At Hoyden, someone mentioned that maybe it was strategic to have the invocation done by Rick Warren, because then he was TOTALLY OVERSHADOWED by Rev. Lowery.

And now that that's over, I suddenly crave Michelle Obama shortbread.

Also, transcript of Obama's Inaugural Address is already up at Shakesville.

My dear, I shall do my best to satisfy that craving later this evening. Are you going to be home? If not, is it likely to be safe to leave it at your back door?

Oh! I'm in Malaysia right now! But I shall be glad to have Michelle Obama shortbread with you when I get back! (I'll be arriving in Halifax on the 5th of Feb.)

Thank you so much for the offer, John =)

I didn't realize -- well, I'll eat this batch myself, then, and make you some fresh when you get back. I think it's better for one than birthday cake, anyhow.

beautiful, mindblowing, yes

same with me here.

i think it added so much to baracks speech. it actually moved me much more than his. then again, if barack was a reverend, i'm sure those were the words he would have found.

Rev. Joseph E. Lowery

Yes, I too enjoyed more listening to Reverend's words. I even posted my blog saying precisely that ;-)
