...Barack Obama's full 2009 Inauguration speech. And will ya look at the SIZE of that CROWD?
This is my 8000th post, but actually my 38,885th post if you include my previous incarnation as Amerigo Vespucci.
The BEST part of this is that when I went to YouTube to grab the clip, the first comment showing is:

I don't remember DC EVER being that damned cold. That was Cleveland Cold Weather.

(18,837 posts)I might have been able to persuade Skinner to restore me if I had some form of proof that I was who I said I was.
The reason for the switch was that I had a complete meltdown of my hard drive...data was wiped (I believe it was a mixture of hardware failure AND a virus which preceded it).
And as such, I not only didn't remember my password, I didn't remember the email address I used to set up the account.
Since my tone as Miles is identical to my tone as Amerigo, I decided people would figure out who I was eventually.

(18,837 posts)There's been an upswing on juxtaposition lately...more and more people are posting the latest Trump atrocity alongside "A year ago, Obama said this..."
It's heartbreaking, and I try to remember that sometimes the road that got you lost can also be the road that will get you home again, if you travel it wisely.

Thank you!

We'll get through this together. Teamwork people!

And I do remember you in your previous incarnation, with great fondness! Those were some good times, both here on DU and in the country as a whole.
Here's to many, many more wonderful, witty, and damned fucking* insightful posts!
