POTUS's BlackBerry & Jon Stewart's Changefest '09
The video clip runs 8:42 and only gets funnier as it goes on. Like Jossip.com, I'm surprised Jon Stewart forgot about Mr. Potter from Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life. But Stewart's take on the now ex-VP is not what had me laughing the most. I think I really started to ROTFLOL when "Billary" made a brief appearance. From that point on Stewart gets funnier and funnier and funnier. And Elizabeth Alexander is no Dr. Maya Angelou circa 20 Jan 93, and speaking of Maya Angelou, I disagree with Stewart's take on Michelle Obama's yellow outfit. I liked it and as a friend at the Dallas County Democratic Party celebration on Inauguration night at Trinity Hall Irish Pub said, "Michelle Obama could wear a trash bag and still look beautiful."
Tip of the hat to Jossip.com, which I found from Pink Is The New Blog, which I found from Marc Ambinder's blog at TheAtlantic.com, and I found Marc's blog when I followed a link from the BBC about how President Obama is getting to keep his BlackBerry. Speaking of which, Richard Koman over at the ZDNet Government Blog talks about the value of Obama's BlackBerry obsession to RIM. [See what it might cost.] The ZDNet Government Blog is also reporting that POTUS #44 is in BlackBerry Heaven, while Tech.Yahoo.com says Obama wins first battle -- to keep BlackBerry.
Oh and one technological sign of Change over at WhiteHouse.gov - the weekly Presidential radio address (which I have never head on the radio) - will now be a Presidential video address. That and the BlackBerry are signs that our new President is very much a "Digital Native" and a member of GenX.

And in case you missed the Regime Change on Tuesday, 20 January 2009:
[Note: Actually, only 43 individual people have taken the Oath - Grover Cleveland was the 22nd President & the 24th President, since he served two non-consecutive terms as President.]
Added 11 February 2009 after I found it via WhiteHouse.gov:
The Inaugural Poem - she still ain't Maya Angelou c. 1993, but the poem in isolation from the other events of the 20th does sound better than it did that day when I first heard it on C-Span. One might note that it rates fewer stars that the video above it, but when you consider who's in the other one . . . ;-)
