It is interesting that, in lieu of a grabber "New Deal" or whatever phrase in Obama's inaugural, the commentators all seem to have focussed on his reference to Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern's "Pick yourself Up" -- depression, Fred and Ginger, etc.

Nice song, good quote.....

What else is there to do? Sink deeper into the septic tank?

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go straight back to bed.

It's been one of THOSE days.

I think the phrase that really stood out in the inaugural address was "It is time to put away childish things"
