happy day-after-inauguration day!

Hey, did you know that yesterday's Bush inauguration cost over forty million dollars? Yep, even though we're in the middle of a disastrous military operation, and even though a deadly tsunami just killed more than 220,000 people, the little-cowboy-president-who-could had the guts to throw the most expensive inauguration celebration in history. Ah hell, who wouldn't want to celebrate winning an election by an astounding two percent of the popular vote?
