  2. Congrats to Richard and James.

    We got a White Sox fan in the White House, openly gay Catholics working for change, Schiller is so far gone I forgot how to spel her name, and Bin Laden is dead.

    Life may not be perfect, but sometimes the world is a better place.

    J and R have had about twenty years together. I wish them many more decades of togetherness.

    We live in an imperfect nation boys and girls, but if you look at the progress over my roughly five decades of life we are slowly reaching higher and higher platitudes of greatness. My apologies to the late first Mare Daley for appropriating his line.
