Red line (major DC train artery) on the Metro system is closed due to a passenger falling on the tracks and being hit. Metro is trying to bus the people in, but due to crowds in the streets and the street closures it ain’t working...

Don't remember all this happening when Repubs are inaugurated. Give it time, this is just the beginning. Pass the POPCORN!

Any chance the secretary will be terminated? If anyone who worked for me spoke to me that way, they wouldn’t be around long. I have people I work with who vehemently diagreee politically, but they are very civil in the discourse, and I respect their opinions as well. However, the way you phrased the secretary’s comment, if anyone said that to any other employee here, they’d be down the road in a heartbeat.

“Walked into my secretary’s office where she was mumbling into the phone about “end of an error.”

Hmm the first bad quarter or bad review for her, Fire her.
And then tell her it’s the end of an error as she hits the door.

Okay, I’m feeling less charitable for the moment. The hatred to the President has been appalling.

My TV is off and will remain so until Idol tonight. Even the Italian news was too much last night...”the majority of Americans now feel that with Obama in the White House, blacks and whites will finally heal their racial differences.” I was screaming—this is not the 1960’s!

I may turn it on- but mute!

Rush is going to do the live ceremony- not sure how much of it though. I thought about turning on Beck- but he’s gone over to the “let’s all get along and wish him well” side...

We have been watching Lord of the Rings. At least it portrays real men defending their country against evil.

I don’t want to watch EVIL himself being sworn in.

The Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1861

Abraham Lincoln's First Inauguration was on March 4, 1861. Mr. Lincoln was staying at Willard's Hotel, which had become the centre of attention that day. By 10 A.M the Avenue at that point was blocked up. The day was beautiful and everyone was in the street. Over twenty-five thousand strangers were in the city, many of whom had slept in the Capitol and in the streets—it being absolutely impossible to find a hotel room.

According to custom, the Inaugural ceremonies should have begun at noon. But at that hour Mr. Buchanan was still in his office at the Capitol signing bills. It was not till ten minutes past twelve that he left the Capitol. He drove rapidly to the White House, entered an open barouche with servants in livery, and proceeded to Willard's. There the President-elect, and Senators Pearce and Baker of the Committee of Arrangements, entered the carriage, and in a few minutes the procession began to move.

Just went to Yahoo to do a search- the picture they have on front page of the crowd is unreal. What a security nightmare.

Well, they’ve started breaking ground for our brand, new sewer line!

I, HEREBY, DEDICATE THIS SEWER LINE TO ‘ZERO’. (Warranty is good for 5 years, the plumber said.)
