Looks like there are a few more long distance dedications this week. From Donnie to Vlad and vice versa, seems we have quite the love affair.

I thought about this quote when trying to come up with words to describe what we're about to experience today.
Yesterday, this news came across my twitter feed:
It made me think for a moment, not about the person about to take the oath of office, but about Obama himself and the position he is in. What could be so distressing that it would lead him to a decision to come very close to violating his own oath, to want to delay and potentially hold onto that office even at the cost of betraying the country's trust in such a bold way?
We'll find out today a little after 2pm DC time.

I read that comment a little differently. To me, it means they are going to focus on getting to the bottom of the Putin interference, and the transition takes a back seat. That means come Jan 20, they are dropping the mic and walking out the door, and tRump will have to figure it out on his own.

I did read it that way as well. I guess I've had some extra time to think about this stuff since I've been home sick for two days watching it all unfold, and started to think 'how would the folks out there who've been grumbling about Obama for the past 8 years interpret this?' Which led me to this rather interesting possibility.

Hello I have been in 3 hours of Google Adword train. 
That is the unfun part. Fun parts are: 1, the test is only 55 questions this year (last year it was like 105) and the certification is for 24 months, not just 12.
