11:19 pm: First Hawai'ian president
I've been to Hawai'i enough times to see how the people who live there really do wear leis on important occasions; I think it would be really cool if Obama, as the first Hawai'ian born president, would wear a lei at his inauguration.  I mean a dignified leaf lei, not a showy flower one. I've already emailed my Senator, Diane Feinstein, who's apparently In Charge of the inauguration; any other suggestions for what we can do?

A maile lei. Obama needs one.

That's a great idea! At one point I e-mailed my brother asking if he was going to vote against Obama because he went to Punahou High School. My brother went to Hawai'i Prep briefly when we lived out in Micronesia. Punahou also sent their football team to Salem, Oregon when my brother was on the South Salem High School team, and Punahou absolutely annihilated them.

Anyway, I love Obama's Hawai'i connection. Pacific island power!
