I was at the inauguration on Tuesday, and I can tell you that it was a lot like "The Day the Earth Stood Still." In this case, "Gort" was being played by our outgoing prez, and while Chief Justice John Roberts didn't utter the phrase "Klaato Barada Nikto," he might as well have.

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W.
