A Festivus Miracle

I saw the huge crowds at today's inauguration. Amazing not only for the size, but for the sheer diversity of people. I suspect that some saw those crowds and were a little fearful. They didn't look like the folks who showed up in 2000 and 2004.

Obama is the Festivus President. He is the President for the Rest of Us.

Who is the Rest of Us? Too hard to define. But we don't show up in many Norman Rockwell paintings. We fall out of the 2-kids-one-dog demographic. We probably did not wear flag pins. Not so hot on the suburbs. Beyond that, it is pretty wide open.
