1. There may not be artcars at the Inaugural Parade but there will be a precision lawn-mower drill team. How cool is that?

2. Stanley Fish has a top ten movie list. As a subhead to that, someone (NYTimes) actually cares enough about what Fish has to say to give him a blog. Anyway, the movie list isn't all that -- a bit too heavy on the treacly sentimentality for my tastes, no major surprises (I bet all of them are in the AFI Top 100), nothing controversial, except maybe the omissions.
