I spent my time well.<BR/><BR/>But, I did watch the last 10 seconds of the swearing in to see Chief Justice John Roberts kick Obama in the groin with that "So help you God?" jibe.

He is a business owner (unlike certain plumbers I could name, who claimed they were considering starting a business) so he's as likely to be Republican as Democrat. There are plenty of Republicans out here. Two 'Pub presidents came from here in recent memory.<BR/><BR/>If it's not the boss thing, you're probably lamenting the lack of sizzle that the PALIN/mccain ticket generated. Well, sorry about that. Your beef is with the American people. You probably feel unfairly victimized by the whole Obama win thing. <BR/><BR/>It it were different and we were swearing in President Palin, I'll admit that it would have been a more historic ceremony than the inauguration of the last couple of Bushes or that Clinton fellah. I'm not sure it would be this much of a groundswell though. Could be wrong, we'll never know.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to read your mind here - what's eatin' ya, buddy?piker62https://www.blogger.com/profile/10976799832683250524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-41234757882281296532009-01-20T17:21:00.000-08:002009-01-20T17:21:00.000-08:00"Even if most of today's traffic was simply an ass..."Even if most of today's traffic was simply an assasination watch, .."<BR/><BR/>What the hell is wrong with you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-64611815896565735412009-01-20T16:55:00.000-08:002009-01-20T16:55:00.000-08:00But wouldn't the election of Sarah Palin as the fi...But wouldn't the election of Sarah Palin as the first female VP be just as historic?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-5196587548449514452009-01-20T16:28:00.000-08:002009-01-20T16:28:00.000-08:00Now that's an interesting hypothetical.

No one would be that excited to see an old white man take the oath of office. Even if most of today's traffic was simply an assasination watch, you couldn't assume people would care with McCain. Hell, YOU hated McCain.<BR/><BR/>However, if both candidates had commanded this kind of interest, I'm sure the boss would have presented the inauguration in the conference room as an alternative to crashing the network.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I can't say how many people took him up on it - as I said, I'm relying on good old-fashioned radio for my news.piker62https://www.blogger.com/profile/10976799832683250524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-23499808759662722552009-01-20T15:47:00.000-08:002009-01-20T15:47:00.000-08:00Had McCain won the election, and was being inaugur...Had McCain won the election, and was being inaugurated today, do you think your boss would have done the same thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
