*After hitting a flock of birds shortly after takeoff today, a plane crashed in the Hudson River. All passengers and crew made it off safely, in a true testament to training, preparation... and the value of those plastic instructions in the seatback pocket.
*Roland Burris, err The Magic Man, was officially sworn in today as the junior senator from Illinois.
*Hearings on Capitol Hill in regard to Obama's cabinet confirmations continued today. Of the big appointments--Clinton as Secretary of State, Holder as Attorney General, and Geither at Treasury--all are going well, even with the hiccup Geither is experiencing in regard to a former housekeeper he employed who turned out to have exceeded her immigration term. She went on to get a green card and, seemingly, all is well.
*9:00PM eastern time on Friday: That is the hour that Bush's team no longer inhabits the West Wing. Hooray! With the exception of a few key positions, the staffers will turn in their keys and leave for the final time.

It does seem hard to believe that, once we wake up from the long weekend on Tuesday, it will be the moment many of us have been waiting for since January of 2001. How can that be? It's almost as unbelievable as a pilot landing an A320 in the Hudson River and having everyone get off without many problems. Enough to make you a religious man.
Well put Joshua. Absolutely.
Does that mean I can get an amen?
Only if I can get a hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
