So, this is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, according to Facebook. It was inauguration day, and MLK's birthday, so I didn't have to go to work. I thought I should do my civic duty and watch some of the inauguration. I just watched enough to hear a newscaster complaining that Sasha and Malia's coats were clashing purples.
I thought they looked like a couple of African violets.
I'm not excited about the next 4 years. I feel like a lot of people aren't. The crowd was one person deep along the parade route at the inauguration today. The thrill of having our first black president is over. The fact that he's black doesn't make us feel better about the fact that he's not such a great president after all. And, really, he's not even that black.
