A new day is dawning, and we’ll be together. Happy are we.” As my mind floated back toward consciousness early this morning, these words from an old summer camp song drifted through my mind. As I awoke, my intellectual faculties began switching on and providing analysis. My mental jukebox had searched its archive, I decided, and found a tune to match the feeling inspired by yesterday’s inauguration. Yeah, that was it! Our new president has taken the reins. “A new day is dawning.”]]> http://meganedwards.com/2009/01/obama-inauguration/feed/ 4 http://meganedwards.com/2008/11/all-your-base-are-belong-to-us/ http://meganedwards.com/2008/11/all-your-base-are-belong-to-us/#comments Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:11:29 +0000 Megan Edwards http://meganedwards.com/?p=231 http://meganedwards.com/2008/11/all-your-base-are-belong-to-us/feed/ 2 http://meganedwards.com/2008/10/educating-joe/ http://meganedwards.com/2008/10/educating-joe/#comments Thu, 16 Oct 2008 05:50:37 +0000 Megan Edwards http://meganedwards.com/?p=220 http://meganedwards.com/2008/10/educating-joe/feed/ 2 http://meganedwards.com/2008/10/thoughts-on-whipping-you-know-whats/ http://meganedwards.com/2008/10/thoughts-on-whipping-you-know-whats/#comments Mon, 13 Oct 2008 22:18:51 +0000 Megan Edwards http://meganedwards.com/?p=208 the story about McCain's recent threat about beating Obama in their next debate, I couldn't resist the temptation to seek out the lyrics to that old Devo favorite, “Whip It.” I thought I’d rewrite the words, like I did a couple weeks ago to express my feelings about the qualifications of McCain’s running mate.]]> http://meganedwards.com/2008/10/thoughts-on-whipping-you-know-whats/feed/ 0 http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/steel-drivin-man-vs-the-new-millennium-presidential-debate-1/ http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/steel-drivin-man-vs-the-new-millennium-presidential-debate-1/#comments Sat, 27 Sep 2008 05:40:28 +0000 Megan Edwards http://meganedwards.com/?p=194 http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/steel-drivin-man-vs-the-new-millennium-presidential-debate-1/feed/ 2 http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/what-a-wonderful-world-it-would-be/ http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/what-a-wonderful-world-it-would-be/#comments Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:47:58 +0000 Megan Edwards http://meganedwards.com/?p=173 http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/what-a-wonderful-world-it-would-be/feed/ 2 http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/o-j-simpson-trial-in-las-vegas/ http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/o-j-simpson-trial-in-las-vegas/#comments Tue, 09 Sep 2008 07:03:18 +0000 Megan Edwards http://meganedwards.com/?p=141 O.J. Simpson’s trial began this morning, and I couldn’t resist driving downtown to check out the media circus that pitched its tents and raised its masts next to the Regional Justice Center over the weekend. Thinking back to the encampment that settled in next to the Los Angeles courthouse back in 1995, I wondered how close I’d be able to get to the corner of Lewis and Third. ]]> http://meganedwards.com/2008/09/o-j-simpson-trial-in-las-vegas/feed/ 0 http://meganedwards.com/2008/08/the-new-erotic-heritage-museum-in-las-vegas/ http://meganedwards.com/2008/08/the-new-erotic-heritage-museum-in-las-vegas/#comments Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:02:08 +0000 Megan Edwards http://meganedwards.com/?p=73 Having read Steve Fey’s article about the grand opening of the new Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas, I jumped at the chance to attend a second opening celebration last night. Two equally curious accomplices and I made our way to the corner of Industrial Road and Desert Inn, where we found a parking space in the lot just south of the Déjà vu Showgirls gentlemen’s club and entered the glass door in the pink stucco exterior.]]> http://meganedwards.com/2008/08/the-new-erotic-heritage-museum-in-las-vegas/feed/ 4
