A few random thoughts from Inauguration Day

  • Who really cares which designer was fortunate enough to be the lucky one chose to design whatever it was that was hanging on Michelle Obama yesterday? If she had been wearing a coat of human skin from the John Wayne Gacy collection, would the fawning talking heads have blessed us with a breathless breakdown of Gacy's oeuvre?

  • Isn't it amazing how so many hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world could come together, get along, and have such a good time?

  • OK, would someone care to explain to me why Presidents are inaugurated in the dead of winter. Yesterday's wind chill hovered somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 degrees. Apparently, the final test of a President-elect is his or her ability to withstand frostbite.

  • Yeah, but the Redskins still suck.

  • Thank you, President Gore. Your dignity, selflessness, and service shall not go unappreciated.

  • HBO is denying rumors that Dick Cheney will be the new host of "The Cryptkeeper". Hey, a man's gotta be able to put food on the table.

  • While watching shots of the vast crowds on the Mall, I found myself wondering how many bladder infections were born yesterday.

  • Yeah, but the Nationals still really suck.

  • Uh, who was the last President? I seem to have already forgotten.

  • Yeah, but the Wizards still suck after all these years.
