I'm sitting here, continuing work on Daily Kos TV (can't wait to get it out of beta so I can resume a normal posting schedule!), with the announcement of George Mitchell as special envoy to the Middle East on MSNBC in the background. (Edit: And also Richard Holbrooke for Afghanistan.)
Listening to the speakers -- the President, the Vice President, Secretary of State Clinton, and Mitchell -- I am just thrilled. It's so special. After eight years of spoiled children running the White House, we've got adults back. (And the funny thing is, they've got better senses of humor!)
At least for me, election night was emotional, but the inauguration a bit less so. What I wanted to see was the new President and his administration in action. And now that we're seeing it unfold, wow. I'd be lying if I said my eyes were totally dry.
