I normally don’t talk about issues that relate to work but…  It seems as though, with less than 30 days to go, Congress is now trying to delay the DTV transition.  Honestly, why?  It’s been promoted, we’ve run crawls, PSA, etc. for a year or more to make sure people know about this date.  So why change it now?  If people don’t truly know about the transition, what makes you think they will in June?  And also, what about all of the TV stations that budgeted 2009 with February 17th as the date where they’d start to see a MAJOR decrease in their electric bill?  What about them?  Is Congress going to pay the difference until June?

Moving the DTV transition date, is a BAD idea.  Seriously.

I don’t think I have been as glued to my television as I have been this morning. This has been a totally awesome morning for this country. Not only is this a great day for those who fought in the 60’s and before for civil rights, but, as a native of the Chicago area, I’m proud to see someone who has been dedicated to serving the people of Illinois become the 44th President of the United States.

For those who haven’t seen it, MSNBC has an embeddable version of the speech:

“After 8 years, George W. Bush is leaving Washington.” – Dianne Sawyer, ABC News.

So way back in the election of 2008, Dave tipped me off to PunditKitchen.com. It’s LOLCats, but for politicians. They’re the ones who brought you basically every funny picture of Palin or McCain this election season. Well, they’ve got a couple of pretty good ones on there today:

Part of me wonders if he actually bid on the seat, or if he used “buy it now.”

And am I the only one who remembers the old SNL skits?
