Today is Inauguration Day in the United States, the solemn and momentous occasion that marks our peaceful transitions of power. President Barack Hussein Obama has taken the oath of office for the second time, and I'm just so happy and relieved we continue to have a fierce warrior for ALL Americans and not just the "corporations are people too, my friend" candidate fielded by the increasingly marginalized xenophobic, homophobic, anti-feminist, anti-poor, anti-Labor and, frankly, racist factions within the "Party of No," GOP.
I found this single, bright yellow Dandelion blooming yesterday—in January in Connecticut! It's a perfect symbol of the indomitable spirit of life and liberty in our country, and to the hope for the next four years of fair and progressive policies leading us to that more perfect union written into our Constitution.
