Best Take On The Inauguration

I love Maira Kalman. And she's back with her occasional works for the New York Times, here:

In one of the frames, she illustrates the Lincoln Bible that Obama used for his swearing-in and references a woman near her who asks, "Why on the Bible? Why not on the Constitution?"

Maira says that it's a very good question.

The Boy posed the same question - well, the first half of it.

Now I have the answer.

One of the first books we bought for him after he was born was "Stay Up Late", which illustrates the Talking Heads song of the same name.

I like the re-connection of him to her.
