It was cold out tonight, and it was cold at our Drinking Liberally haunt, but we few, we happy few, we band of brothers (and sisters) had a great time. We got a first hand account from one of our brothers about the inauguration. Here he is, a proud bearer of a purple ticket. He never made it to his assigned place, but looking at the bright side, he wasn’t trapped in the Purple Tunnel of Doom. Moreover, he helped stimulate the economy, for as he pointed out, he paid a couple of thousand dollars to spend 6 hours in the cold.
While we were there our very thoughtful waitress came in and let us know that the president was on the TV, giving a speech, so we all adjourned and watched Obama pummel the Republicans. A great speech. Per usual after our monthly meeting, I’m not really in great shape for deep thought, so I’ll close with the observation that Obama seems to be hitting his stride. Now, if only Harry Reid would learn how to control the Senate we’d be in decent shape.
