Inaguration Day

I went to the dr. this morning and I have strep throat! Thankfully, I don't have a fever, so I don't feel all that bad. My throat is just on fire!

I was listening to Laura Ingraham on the radio on the way home and heard Rick Warren's invocation at the inaguration. It sounded good! I was saying, "That's right" to several things he said. I was wondering what us right wing conservatives would say about it; would they criticize it or compliment it. But then Laura said, "Did you hear that Rick Warren said that Barack Obama is our first African-American president? I didn't know that!" She went on to say that if he hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known. But that's just the way some prayers are. You tell God things He already knows. Laura also said that Aretha Franklin was singing at the inaguration and was wearing a bow as big as the crowd was. I ran in the house and turned on the t.v. and sure enough, she had a huge bow on her hat! Soon after that, Biden took his oath. He spoke his words so good. But then, when Obama said his, he fumbled. Fox News said that maybe Barack isn't really our president because of it. At the luncheon in the capitol, Dr. Barry Black asked the blessing and it was awful. It sounded so stiff and formal. He's the Senate chaplain, I think.

The worst thing about having strep is that I MUST reschedule my 4 students this afternoon until Thursday!
