Inauguration Anyone?
.
The hubby-man brought me lunch, and we're watching CNN right now. They keep showing the protesters between discussions. Meanwhile, little tidbits are scrolling across the bottom of the screen. Apparently 61% of people polled think that protesting during the inauguration is inappropriate. In another poll, 49% think Bush is a uniter, 49% think he's a divider, and 2% have no opinion.

CNN is showing the (pricey) inaugural luncheon right now. Bush is giving a speech at a gilded podium that's shaped like an eagle perched on a globe. It looks like it's about to take flight, with the world snagged firmly in it's claws. The podium is on loan from the Daughters Of The American Revolution, and it's 100 years old. Every time the crowd stands up, there's a sound like a third-grade brass band warming up. It's not really a bunch of students torturing musical instruments. It's their chairs scraping the floor.
