i loved watching the inauguration with my class on tuesday! it was incredibly moving, and aside from one of my african-american boys falling asleep, my class was transfixed. they clapped, cheered, and basically acted like they were actually on the mall. (of course i had to explain to them that this wasn't the kind of mall they thought it was...)
i especially enjoyed the poet, elizabeth alexander, although my colleague and i agreed that she didn't do the best job delivering her poem...she wasn't exactly a shining example of fluency.
the next evening, one of my favorite political pundits, stephen colbert, had her as a guest on his show and made her explain the difference between a metaphor and a lie.
hilarious. enjoy.
