After a meeting, I decided to swing by the new Jackson Convention Complex and check out the new facility. Little did I know that I would be there for three hours and that it would be dark outside when I left. I enjoyed it just that much.
Here are some examples: Glad it's over. Barack Hussein Obama. Peace, joy, hope. Need some money.
Whatcha got?
President Bush made a surprise trip to Iraq, but he got a surprise of his own when an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at him during a press conference.
As he addressed a news conference in Baghdad, an Iraqi journalist flung his shoes at the American leader and called him a "dog."
"This is the farewell kiss," reporter Muntadhar al-Zaidi yelled as he hurled the footwear -- a strong sign of contempt in Arab culture.

At The Church Triumphant, we believe that God always intended for the church to be a blend of all people, races and nationalities. Each year during the month of November, we come together as one people to offer praise and Thanksgiving to God.

Yes, this was back on the 8th, but I was bitten by the procrastination bug. Anyone got a flyswatter?
Daily Kos contributor Kenyada wrote a creative diary entry about what Obama's inaugural ball could be like if those who went on before him could celebrate with him:
Guests began arriving early. There are no place cards and no name tags. Everyone knows everyone else here. Now, there’s a grand foursome - Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz sharing laughs with Martin and Coretta Scott King. Looks like Hosea Williams refused the limo again, keeping it real. And my goodness; is that Rosa Parks out there ... read on »
