A Shout-Out to the Nonbelievers


Amidst all the exaggerated hubbub of the Inauguration, one moment stood out to me, the cynical godless heathen.  First, I don't know if any of you noticed, but our new President is black!

But also, in his Inaugural address, he inclusively mentioned Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus.  But he paused a moment and added, "and non-believers"!!!  I think that's a first -- the atheists included!  Sweet.  Made me feel good.

Now I'm off to officiate at a naked Wikkan wedding.

that stuck out to me too - must be a first.
It's already so much better. I know lots of things aren't any better - certainly the market isn't, but the world is better, and so's the music.
