Yawn.
Well, tomorrow is the Immaculate Inauguration, replete with schoolkids being forced to watch the process, as if we have a Stalinist, state controlled school system, where politics of a certain persuasion are forced upon children.
That's called "indoctrination", correct?
Taking a cue from DJ's open thread post, I was wondering what all you fine readers will be doing tomorrow. It is a rarity that I find myself not looking forward to a day off, but, alas, I have off tomorrow. So, instead of watching the media have a group "Obamagasm", I've decided to watch all 7 episodes of "John Adams", to remind me of how this country was founded, and display just what true patriotism means.
This media saturation of "all Obama, all the time" I believe will eventually lead to Obama fatigue, sooner rather than later.
So, what do you good people intend to do tomorrow, that is, if you have the misfortune off having off for the day?

I'll be at work. Way to busy to even care about the inauguration (and I'd be the same way had McCain won). My daughter has semester finals at school so it won't be on there. :)
OTOH the wife is recording it as she wants to watch. She always watches the inauguration.
As for Obama fatigue - that settled in a few weeks ago. We were at lunch Saturday and they had CNN on one screen and MSNBC on the other and both were covering the train ride the Obama's were taking. Everyone I could hear wanted something else on.

Eh -
No intent to watch - I've seen enough of the One's visage on plaques, coffee mugs and tee-shirts. I wondered though - does the One get 10% juice money off all his promo material? Was it all made in China?
I probably *should* watch, though - just to see if his eyes dart around will promising to "uphold and defend the Constitution..."

I still remember watching the Apollo missions on tv in school. DeGualle's funeral, Nasser's funeral, too. Reds versus Orioles (Augusta, Georgia was a baseball/softball freaktown at the time). A child should always be encouraged to connect himself with historic events. The younger the better. Reference points are key to learning. Example: since I saw the game, I can state categorically that at least one world series game between the Reds and Orioles was a day game. Because I saw it. Meanwhile, Shawn would have the tykes stay uninformed until some passing bullshit artist fills them in, or more likely, up.

The direct medium of live tv trumps any post-game analysis by teacher or bloviator. After age 4 kids become well acquainted with objective reality and can parse bullshit famously. Unless they're being fed second-hand information, which live tv is not.

Hey, Justice58, I came to the party late. You're Black. That explains everything to me. So I guess that makes me racist. I do enjoy reading your comments. In these difficult times I need to laugh. Thanks.

I'll be at work helping retired folks fill out their paperwork properly so they get their pension checks before the pool dries up.

I will be working from 7-3 for my first job, and then my second job from 4-7 my part time job and then 8-to whenever my third job going home and do some cleaning and finally to bed. My usual week day.
However, even if I was home I would not watch any TV other than HGTV. First of all maybe I could stand watching Obama (not really) but certainly NOT all the hollywood/entertainment characters and msm wetting their pants over Obama. Liking a person is one thing, worshipping and expecting mircles is something all together different and sick. But here's hoping God (the real one) blesses us all!
Well, on to work!

"Well, you claim President Obama's a socialist."
After listening to him to him speak and outline his policies over the last 1-2 years, there's no other claim one could make.

Filed my tax return a few minutes ago. Watching the minimal local TV coverage about the Portland Mayor's 2005 sex scandal that resurfaced today (co-incidence?). Soon going to work to try to prevent bankruptcy of the local FQHC. That'll take more than all day. No TV's in the office.
No time to read all the putrid and purient screed in the comment thread above.

Wow. In addition to the stay-at-home Dad stuff I mentioned at #28, I just went through a ridiculous workout, and it destroyed me. It's two parts, 5 circuits through each part as fast as possible:
Part I:
10 Burpees
20 Lunges
30 Bodyweight Squats
30-60 seconds of rest between circuits
Part II:
10 Pull-ups
20 Power Over Pushups
10 High Pulls
No designated rest periods; rest on an as needed basis, going through each exercise and circuit as fast a s possible
I was able to perform Part I just fine. Part II was another story. I got 10 Pull-ups twice, but after that I had to reduce it gradually until the 5th circuit, where I only did 5. And, I was only able to perform 10 Power Over Pushups.
It doesn't seem like much, but it's pretty tough.

larry dick[less]man - "Here's some inauguration news . . . turns out Bush's first inauguration was on Sept. 12, 2001. Fox News (sic) just reported how Bush inherited the 9/11 attacks."
And you claim Bush didn't presumably.
Better consult a higher authority as to the meaning of the term: "To receive or take over from a predecessor: The new administration inherited the economic problems of the last four years."
Or... the then ongoing threat from jihadist-cut-throats.

Went home early because of snow, and watched 'An American Carol' and later watched the "The Dark Knight'
