The view from the mountain top

"Not to date myself, here, but I’ve been around for more than a few presidential inaugurations, and I’ve never seen anything approaching the giddiness swirling around this one.

Not that I don’t recognize the historic nature of this president’s swearing in. I do.
I realize that when Martin Luther King, Jr. made his famous “I have a dream” speech in August of 1963, what we’re witnessing today would have seemed almost like the stuff of fairly tales."
