I caught bits and pieces of the lead up to the inauguration of President Obama, I wonder if the chief justice remembered that Senator Obama did not vote for him, some old botched swearing in boy.

Any way everybody and their dog are dissecting the acceptance speech for it content and delivery.
For what its worth I thought it a tad long but the oratory was about right, he has the gift for sure, and the content and presentation seemed to resonate with all the faces that the cameras panned on.

Most of the MSM are saying that the Obamas and the Bushes seemed to develop a close and respectful relationship during the transition. What I got from the speech was that the incoming gave the outgoing a good kick in the teeth on the way out the door.

If there was a contest on the day for the happiest guy in the world then VP Biden would win hands down. Contrast that with the outgoing VP’s dour demeanor.

I did not bother much with the post swearing in coverage, just Here & Now mainly.
They covered reactions from a variety of venues across the province. One piece that stood out was this young guy with a paper hat on, when asked what it all mean to him he replied that he thought the new president would make a good role model for Prime Minister Harper [paraphrased].

The latest on the incident of the erratic driving behavior of a police officer in town is here, some think it is a non story some disagree.
There is more coverage here.

The mean and chills are still in the -20's, not a lot of wind so not too uncomfortable, unless you are out in it all day like the guys still digging at the hole up the road, or a telephone guy in and out and up and down poles.
