Happy Inauguration Day!

To help you celebrate, here are some fascinating facts and figures about today's Inaugural Celebration. What better celebration of the Bush Administration's misbegotten reinstatement than a bloated, excessive paean to the wealthy contributors that got him there in the first place? You can still take care of the needs of the disenfranchised and our under-equipped soldiers in your acceptance speech... much more important than such things as emergency relief or body armor.... ah yes, our faith-based President...

Speaking of which, his inaugural speech was certainly monumentally forgettable. Everyone I've talked to who listened to it or read the transcript is just kind of saying, "Huh, wha?" And apparently the fires on Social Security are cooling as not one word was spoken about it, as had been the reported plan. I guess when ranking members of your own party in Congress are saying that your plan is a "dead horse", it's time to let it die a quiet death...

Four More Years! As this NYTimes poll indicates, Bush is facing it with a populace clearly unconvinced of his ability to do anything very well at all... and we elected him because...?
