I'm in awe

I just left the "commons" area at my work - I was watching the inauguration with most of my coworkers.

The last time my workplace stopped like this, with everyone glued to TV or internet, we watched the Twin Towers fall. I never thought I'd experience something like that again.

Yet there we were, riveted to the screen. And I am, frankly, speechless.

B. Hussien - really?

Ok, I must confess - I was watching the Today show this morning. Ann Coulter was on while I was applying makeup (you know, the skinny, crazy, ultra-rightwinger). I try not to listen to the woman, but her insistent use of the name B. Hussien Obama did catch my attention. That, and the near-argument Matt Lauer had with her over it.

Come on - this is just silliness. Name calling, really? From the awkward way she said it, it was obviously just for show. Is she really that desperate for attention and book sales?
