What Are Your Plans For January 20th? (Vanity)

Freerepublic ^ | 01/11/2009 | Me

[Dallas59]

The TV, internet, news papers...will be inundated with the likeness of Dear Leader. I won't watch or listen to one of the worst moments in our nations history since 9/11.

I may go to the Zoo...what about you?

.

That "New Deal, Raw Deal" book looked pretty good. I just ordered it and it should arrive just in time to read before the Obamanation starts.

[Kevmo]

I like yours.

Mine is something biblical as well, along the lines of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

[murron]

I have to work that day after being off for MLK day, so I plan to close my door and keep busy. I work at a liberal university, and they plan on having TVs available in some of the classrooms, so I will not be participating in any of that nonsense. Then, when I get home, I will either watch reruns of House on USA network, or any of a host of good shows that I DVR’d over the holidays.

[Uri’el-2012]

Look up !

The L-rd is coming soon.

[murron]

I bought the complete set of Amos & Andy on DVD. I can’t remember where I bought them, but I think it might have been Amazon. The quality is somewhat fuzzy, but good enough to enjoy.

[Tunehead54]

Just in case bump! ;-)

“I may go to the Zoo...what about you?”
Resched my colonoscopy for that day. Watching 0 will have the same affect.

[Clinging Bitterly]

I’m just going to polish off a half rack and knock the old lady around some, nothing special (she likes it really).

[ErnBatavia]

I will be wearing black that day.

I got an email from my Georgia brother yesterday, trying to get either a black ribbon or black armband movement going.

[VoiceOfBruck]

I've actually done a little soul-searching on this very subject. On the one hand, I'm utterly appalled that such a person as zero could even get as far as running for president, let alone get elected, and the more I learn about him, the more trepidation I feel.

But, he is our future president & most prominent leader of the free world, and most likely will be for at least the next four years. And the inauguration of a president is a historic event. So, am I being a self-righteous jerk for sitting it out, boycotting it, so to speak?

I mean after all, in ways I hope to understand someday, our leaders are God-ordained, whether or not they're Bruck-ordained. Am I just indulging in the behavior that I've been criticizing others for during the last eight years?

I believe I am a pretty good judge of character, and try to include the facts in my reasoning whenever possible, and I don't like what I see in zero. Pretty much the same negatives I see in zero I saw in Kwame Kilpatrick, former mayor of Detroit (I'm originally from the Detroit area, go Red Wings!). And I felt the same negative emotions, though on a lower level, when KK was elected mayor of Detroit. I had no part in it, as I was a suburbanite, but I was thinking, what's the matter with you people? Can't you see he's incompetent, dishonest, inexperienced, etc. etc. etc.?

I remember Kwame's first state-of-the-city address, which was kind of like an inaugural address, since he was pretty new on the job, a few years ago. It was a pretty good speech, and his purported plans included many of the things I would have recommended for the city. I was thinking, I hope he succeeds. Maybe he's not so bad after all.

Well guess what? Kwame's in jail right now.

I'm going squirrel hunting on inauguration day. It seems like a fitting gesture.

I, too, have wrestled with this. Do I boycott? Do I watch? It is historic. I watched the fall of the towers though it brought great pain. Shall I bite the bullet? I haven’t decided. Since the election, I can’t even look at his smug face or hear his awful voice. I don’t know if I can stand the whole day of both.

I like the armbands idea. But, most will assume it is because of a death in my family and not for the reason intended.

I think I will attend Mass and do an hour of adoration before the true King of Kings, the true Messiah and pray that our nation can survive the punishment of Obama.

[freespirited]

Think I’ll work on my taxes. Seems that would be apropos.

[screaminsunshine]

Have an Amos and Andy party on the 20th.

[Polyxene]

“I refuse, under any circumstances, to watch, listen to, read about or otherwise ingest any information regarding the “coronation”..I turn off the t.v. when his picture comes on, I change radio stations when I hear his voice..”

I thought I was the only one!! Check out this website:

[redhead]

I think I’ll go shopping. One last fling.

[siamesecats]

How thoughtful!
Thank you for your suggestion.

[KeyLargo]

“New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR’s Economic Legacy Has Damaged America by Burton W. Folsom Jr.”

I just watched him on Book TV.

[HailReagan78]

I'll be watching Reagan's ‘80 and ‘84 Inaugural speeches on youtube, also his acceptance speeches from the conventions....Maybe throw in his debates with Carter as well, watch him smackdown ol’ Jimmah a few more times ....

Down a few cold ones, toast a REAL president, and PRAY we can have leadership like his again someday soon

[spotbust1]

I may drink heavily and freep, but I don’t think I can stand to watch it. More power to you.

Re: Jan. 20: Something Biblical ... I could cry, tear my clothes and put ashes on my head ... but that would make a mess and then I’d have to mend them.

I hope seed catalogs and hatchery catalogs will arrive so I can look forward to spring and summer.

If the kids have a 4-H meeting that night, I will have that to look forward to.
