Everything looks different today; new, shiny, or, as Stephen Colbert said last night*:
"Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world - a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags.

Oh, and everybody's high!"Let the fun begin!
