Looks like some people are listening with their eyes closed.

I get it now. Find Wald... nope, find Sam the Tongue!

Sam missed it. He was on his way home to sort of face the music.

I'm looking for the Oregon congressional delegation. Did they get decent seats?
Bush trying to get his Blackberry to work is pretty funny. That and Darth Cheney.

Amazing photo. I didn't know this was possible.

I don't really get it. What is "amazing" and what is it that you "love"? I see a couple USSC justices bundled up, looking down or with eyes closed during the president's inaugural address. Are you liking the contrast between president (or honor guard) and citizens and legislators and jurists?

Amazing - although there is some evidence of the splicing, the overall quality and resolution establishes this as a new landmark in photojournalism. Even the faces in the distant crowd are recognizable.
I'd like to see a nationwide project to put names to as many faces as possible, and cross index the name to coordinates.

Go to the back, back, back of the picture - oh, it's so far back you can't see it - and you'll see me and my merry band of cohorts huddled in the basement of the Lincoln Memorial, frozen solid.
But we were there!
