It was nice, of course, to have someone practically shouting the Pomp mission statement out to the world, from the presidential pulpit no less.

Top 5 TV inauguration moments:1) speech of the century
2) if it's brown stick around and mellow yellow (serious high point, that guy may have stolen a bit of Obama thunder with his race/rhyme jokes)
3) the First Lady's outfit
4) Dick Cheney being escorted away by wheelchair
5) George W. Bush's imagined last words, are you a lip-reader? What was he saying at the end there?
Stay tuned for (further) special Pomp-ous inauguration coverage.
