2005 LA18 Lunar New Year Parade
Although the theme of the parade is "Lunar New Year" and
features a strong Chinese emphasis, I was amazed by how
diverse it actually was. We had participants from
across Los Angeles' giant Asian communities as well as
the USC marching band, a taste of old African American
Southern music and yes, even circus clowns.

""Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and
so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our
people, and neither do we."
"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us,
the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the
young of our country."
"Had we to do it over again, we would look at the
consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy
that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another
day."
