Inaugurations

I'm helping teach a class to fellow library employees in a couple of weeks about history databases. One of the things I'm covering (that is not a database) is American Memory from the Library of Congress. I'll be showing stuff about presidents, since it's election season and all. They have a transcription of EVERY SINGLE inauguration speech from George Washington to G Dub's first inauguration. All of them. And there are pictures from inaugurations as well. My favorite is a picture from Clinton's second. No lie, it looks like Newt is checking out Bill's butt.

"How can I get my butt to look like his?"

There's also a handwritten page from an early draft of Kennedy's speech. If you can read it, you get a cookie.
