  • Elizabeth's inaugural poem was excellently crafted and the way in which she voiced it at the ceremony should not be critiqued. The words are what truly matter...and the words spoke despite the "performance". Alexander's poems and WORDS are inspiring. Thank you for posting.

  • LOL, FALL DOWN funny!

    In youtube, search for:

    sara palin jokes - best one

    it's a PANIC! LOL still!

    also search for: "joe the plumber is horny" - ROFLMAO!!!!

    Joe the Plumber is HORNY!

    this is the really funny one, folks!

    watch?v=nR6veX5A5j4

  • DAMN ALL THIS HYPE! Did anybody hear her crappy "poem" lmao.

  • Who needs the arts when we have internet porn and pop culture?

  • Good loyal cult members have been indoctrinated at a ripe age. YES WE CAN!!!

  • blah... No offence but try harder.

  • The arts definitely DO have a place in arresting moments in time. Well-spoken, Ms. Elizabeth Alexander. The arts speak to another level of our humanity and differentiate us from the beasts. We "do" art because we must. We can. It feeds our souls, another great need we have because we are higher thinking and higher feeling beings.
