My report, such that it is, of Inauguration Day (as I sit here in snowy MD watching the events of that day being replayed on CSPAN):
My daughter and I awoke at 6:30am on Inauguration day, as she had an important date with the Secret Service at the Pentagon.

Friends, what a day! Not only did the president make an excellent speech, but today's inaugural festivities were absolutely fantastic. Anyone notice how sun came out when Bush spoke?

This past inauguration day, the cold weather was the least of the problem. The bigger problem was the realization that America is slowly falling apart. The second inauguration attracted the worst undergrowth of American society, and they all descended on the nation's Capitol. God gave us the great gift of humanity. Why would some humans choose to devolve to the insect class? After eight hours of rubbing shoulders with the repugnant, foul protestors, I had to take two showers to purge myself of the contamination. It was like entering a well-used Port-a-Potty but never exiting. There was no fresh air anywhere, they were everywhere. It still disturbs me even to this day.
The first three hours of Thursday's inaugural protest were spent at the intersection of 7th and D. I got there about 9:30. There were only a few hundred of them out there at that time. The swarm began to swell as we approached the noon hour. I got in to the parade area just before 1 p.m., so I missed the anarchists storming the police at the intersection just before the parade was supposed to begin. It would have been nice to see the security forces bring them down, but I'll just have to settle for TV clips.
Until I passed the security checkpoint, I thought I was alone in my disgust for this segment of society. However, just beyond the checkpoint, I found an oasis of value and integrity where other Bush supporters had joined forces. The Free Republic DC Chapter had created a sanctuary for Bush supporters. My feet were set in stone, I was not budging. Some other Bush supporters who also found the Free Republic zone actually began hugging fellow Bush supporters in sheer joy even though they were complete strangers.
