Yes, he’s going to Catalina Island on a catamaran this

I am watching an old Reagan movie, John loves Mary. Much more entertaining than this “historical” inaguration.

I always like to observe and I find that those people who are truly insecure at heart (i.e. media idiots and celebutards who need the camera for reassurance) and those who have a hole in them where spirituality should be are the ones most vulnerable and susceptible to the idolatry of a mere mortal man. Keep on crying Brokaw - I’m sure Couric and the rest of the morons will be joining you later on.

Please report back if there are any fights, bombs etc. That is the only news we want to hear!!!

You’re welcome...seems like the police are having a hard time getting around due to the crowds...all I’ve heard so far is medics being paged to assist officers with someone that had a seizure and another officer calling in asking about assisting 3 handicapped ladies with tickets to the inauguration...

I like the clock pic. What we need is someone who can post something like that only have it animated so it shows a time countdown from the day, hour, minute and second that Obama takes office. It would be like Rush Limbaugh had on his website that showed the countdown after Clinton "held this Nation captive" to the time he left office.

Anyone out there have an animation clock like what I described above? If so, it would be great to post one. Hopefully Rush will have one. Maybe we can get enough FReepers to email Rush and request he put one on his site.

She (Ayn Rand) was a smart lady.

She may have "borrowed" the concept from Alexander Tyler who, in 1787 said,

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."

That little exchange between the Bushes and the Obamas was a bit awkward.

The Washington DC conservative talk-show station, WMAL, is providing some entertaining commentary

Thanks. I'll try it.

I usually refrain from commenting on clothing choices, but Michelle’s choice is not flattering. She looks like a big gold cow.

Jill Biden has upstaged her.

I’m serious. You people at home watching TV need to step your game up.
