M, Jon, and JibJab

M's teacher--who really is quite great--kept the kids in at lunchtime to watch the Inauguration. (They also watched Kerry's concession speech--her rationale is not that Republican victories should be marked, but that the kids should watch history as it happens, rather than just learning about it from books, and I'm all for that).

Needless to say, I did not watch the Inauguration, so I relied on M for a full account of the speech: he talked about freedom a lot, and helping other countries, and he's funny-looking.

Jon Stewart says basically the same thing, but, I have to admit, he's funnier than M. [Link from Lisa Rein via Boing-Boing.]

And then there's the new JibJab video, "Second Term," which, as usual, sums it up (when "This Land is Your Land" came out last fall, E made us play it again and again for her).
