Metro (WMATA) is charging “rush hours” fares all day.

It will also be the most ethical administration in history.

Or has someone already said that?

The problem is open area is not available for 5 million people, and even DC doesn't have enough beer joints to handle that size of crowd. People are going to be trapped inside as throngs surge outside.

How long those places are open is irrelevant in the face of the problem.

Good grief! Those attending should go into a rigorous month long training just to make it through the Inaugural Parade, and only the most fit will be able to dance later at an Inaugural Ball.

Seems it would be easier to list what IS allowed.

The absolute worst job during this event, the people who have to empty and clean all those porty-potties.

Just a mechanical dump job and a high pressure steam hose. Must wear breathing apparatus.

Used to do this in a DRIVE IN THEATRE. The women's room? NO ONE ever hit the pot!

OK. One more indication that words and truth mean nothing to this group. Obviously they think we’re all stupid.

Just the beginning of the "No Rules", No this, No that, which will be coming out of this dictatorial administration.

> Hello to beautiful New Zealand!

Hello to the Sweet Land of Liberty!

> Just for your edification- American’s aren’t OWNED. I can promise you I am not!

Right glad I am to hear it. I recall reading somewhere of Hillary Clinton’s words to Bill when he was first elected.

During the course of events a group of jet fighter craft flew overhead in formation.

Hillary is reported to have said something like “Those jets belong to us, now.”

> If that is what Mr. Hussein and the rest of the world thinks, stand by for a real surprise.

There is hope yet!

God Bless America

Perhaps we should start drawing up contingency plans to bring beer in with military convoys...so that no American go dry in the midst of the inaugural. We may have to redistribute beer from Alabama and Georgia....to make this operation successful.

An inaugural is no place for babies or the elderly. Better to take them to Times Square for New Year’s Eve.

We went to one inadvertenly, Bush in 2001. Never again. I wouldn’t go if my own son was being sworn in!

Keep in mind that was pre-9/11 and not particularly historic. I would not be surprised if 1/2 of DC Metro’s population goes to Obama’s, so you’d have at least double the crowd. It is wall-to-wall people, It took us well over an hour to get from the Mall at about 3rd street to 6th street.

They will get a much better view, and will be more comfortable, just watching on tv if they’re so inclined.

I was at Nixon's in 1969. It was cold as a well-digger's @$$. You couldn't pay me to go to another one.

The ‘those are our jets now’ quote is attributable to the Hollywood star, Ron Silver, who turn right after 9/11.

But he spoke at the time to the sentiments of the left.

Remember, they had to cancel all the events for Reagan’s second inaugural? It was insufferably bitter cold. There is part of me wishing for that this year because DC just isn’t equipped to deal with the anticipated crowds, even with all the military and out-of-town police support.

I’m trying to figure out why a parent of a child that needed a stroller would want to subject them to January weather in DC? Personally I’m praying for an ice storm that week that shuts the power off so I don’t have to watch the thing!

We are going to have no president for the next four years.

No patriotism no pledge of allegiance and no so help me God at the end of his taking the oath.

No intelligence

No decent honorable associates

No class and no dignity
