We must teach our children that it is the job of an educated citizenry to question power, seek equilibrium in justice, assert the influence of the polis and generally keep The Man on their damn toes.

Here’s how we spent Inauguration Day 2009. First, with Mimosas in hand webcasting live at Marc Horowitz’ www.talkshow247.com up on Victorian Carol Street and then into the gentility of The Canyon with Ari and Petro for coffee and DVR’ing the speech. Everything about this inauguration is so Now! I jumped up in front of the wide screen as the Obama’s and Bush’s stood shoulder to shoulder and I pointed out, “See here, these people are younger than Sting!”
