Hell seems to be the operative word for this event.
But here's the, ahem, brighter side:
Oprah is supposedly planning a party, and the Screen Actors Guild is hosting a dinner, presumably for Hollywood’s A-list. The Environmental and Clean Energy Ball, to be held at the Sequoia Restaurant in Georgetown on inauguration night, has already scored a major coup; it sold out in one day and boasts that it will be hosting almost president Al Gore, who’s also planning his own ball. Ticket holders have also been told that the Obamas, big fans of clean energy and green jobs, are “expected to drop by.” Biden and his wife Jill may even take a page from Dick and Lynne Cheney’s book and host a small post-inaugural party later in the week for friends and supporters inside a large heated tent on the grounds of the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory, while camouflaged security teams with painted faces roam about outside through the bucolic trees and bushes.
Oprah, the Hollywood A-list, The Environmental and Clean Energy Ball featuring Al Gore, Joe Biden in a tent, and security teams trying to look like trees. What fun!
Add to that a bunch of terrorist cells pissed off about Israel’s invasion of the Gaza. Oh, what fun! Better than Fourth of July in Kalamazoo.
