Surrounded by Hope
The Big Picture delivers again, this time with pics from the inauguration. I dub this one, Surrounded by Hope, where customers at a BestBuy stopped to watch the swearing in ceremony.
And this one is just silly…

It’s Over
Congratulations, you can now go on with your collective lives.
It’s worth watching to see which way the last few Senators fall… “Under the rather curious rules of the US Senate, 41 Senators (out of 100) can block any given legislation…” (Mauldin) My money is on at least Georgia or Minnesota keeping a Republican in their Senate seats, so there will likely still be the ability to block a super-majority.

3 losers, 1 winner
From Mish on the debate…
Careful analysis shows both Obama and McCain lost the debate. Last night I surmised that the country won because they could see how pathetic both candidates really are. Today, I change my mind on that. Most likely the country is going to think whoever they were for somehow “won” the debate. In the end, the country lost because neither of these candidates deserves to be president.
… For the first time in history, I am proclaiming a moderator to be the winner of the debate. Jim Lehrer asked very good, pointed questions that neither candidate would answer. Better yet, he forcibly kept at it, attempting to no avail to get some answers on the economy.
