The Day the Torture Stopped

So many great moments yesterday. The images dancing out of my TV Eye. The teeming masses converging on Washington D.C. You have to think even the most cynical power brokers had to be impressed.

The big media megaphone will relentlessly pound any event into the ground. And yes, this megaphone was used to beat the images to smithereens.

Still it was all so transcendent. Barack and Michelle with the million-watt smiles. People from all walks of life declaring the day for themselves.

And George W. Bush getting on a helicopter to Texas. The man will not be missed.

The day the torture stopped.
