Bush Kicks Off Three Days of Inaugural Events

The inaugural events, with a $40 million price tag paid for largely by donors, are taking place against a backdrop of ongoing bloodshed in Iraq and with polls showing Bush begins his second term without a clear mandate to lead the country.

7. As I happen to have this week off from classes...
I will probably spend it like I spent the week after the election... smoking and getting pissed off at the tv...

4. Let's have our own party...
Sounds like more than a few of us could contribute a ... ahem ... "covered dish" of something fun.

I hope a lot of people around the country remember to leave the TV off, or the hospitals are going to have a flood of rage-induced cardiac cases.

No way I could watch that disgusting spectacle and keep my breakfast down.
