I don’t remember going out of my way to watch ANY inaugural, even Obama’s which at least was historic. According to my ephemeris, Jan 20 2009 was a Tuesday, so I was probably at work. If inaugurals are such a big deal, why don’t they give people the day off? Just asking.
The time difference is a big problem. I was thinking about throwing a Bloody-Mary-and-Granola brunch for the Democrats in the ‘hood but 9am is too damn early to start drinking. If the weather is still miserable – as it’s predicted to be – I just might sleep thru the whole thing. If he screws up, it will be on the news anyway.
I think it’s great that there will be a vigil on Arcata Plaza by the Women in Black and anyone who cares to join them from 830 to 10am. You go, ladies!
This inaugural is not a celebration. It marks the transfer of power from a humane and caring individual to one who is coarse, crude, uneducated, greedy, sexist, ignorant and lies each time he opens his mouth. He’s not going to change. God help us all.
END
I didn’t watch the inaugural for the same reason I don’t watch NASCAR… I just don’t get any entertainment out of watching one long car wreck.
Okay.
Time for you to get over your vapors. Life goes on and the republic, you and I will survive.
Vapors? Of course everyone will survive as long as the charade of putting Trump in charge remains a charade. He’s too infantile to be trusted with the nuclear keys. His GOP handlers will figures something out..
