Today was President Obama's inauguration. Wow. He swore his oath of office on Lincoln's bible which I think is pretty cool despite my discomfort at the strong presence of religion in the ceremony.
But, he could have chosen any book at all to swear on - or not use a book at all. It got me thinking - what book would I put my hand on if I were affirmed into office - a political statement with a Michael Pollard book? A favorite novel? Caroline's Knapp's Appetites? Something from my childhood?
Perhaps if I were someone who thrived on public service the choice would be obvious.
