First, a moment

The Inauguration stories are going to come in, but first, an image from the first (of maybe 2 or 3) want-to-cry moments. (I very obviously did not take this picture):

Thanks for speaking truth to power on Palestine, Bono.

I feel really uncomfortable thanking Bono, or anyone who insists on wearing pink shades at all times. But when he reminded the crowd at the Lincoln Memorial Sunday that freedom is not just an American dream, not just an Irish or European or African (or Israeli) dream, but (pause. pause) "and also a Palestinian dream," I and the small crowd of stateless Arabs I was with hollered. Woo.
