"[W]e have made a statement here tonight. Our statement is:
Yes, an inauguration is a serious event; but it is also a time to
celebrate the diversity of this great nation, which includes all
kinds of people, some of whom are clowns." -- Dave Barry
(b. 1947-07-03),
2009-01-22, on performing with the World Famous Lawn Rangers of
Amazing Arcola in Barack Obama's inaugural parade two days earlier.

(And on that note, happy birthday to Rogest, my third and furriest college roommate (a few of us at school decided needed to have his name upgraded from a comparative to a superlative ... I don't recall what he thinks of the upgrade), who probably isn't reading this.)
