I feel the same way. Booker rising. Cancel the Inauguration By Molotov The Presidential Inaugural Committee has announced its plan for a $40 million extravaganza, with the theme of "Celebrating Freedom, Honoring Service." Bull Moose, a blog written by a moderate ex-Republican, argues that the proposed activities don't truly honor the armed services: "One of the most striking aspects of this war is that the public has not been asked to sacrifice. So, why doesn't the President send a message to America that this will be a different type of inauguration? Dispense with all of the hoopla and festivities and direct the private donations that would have gone for the partying to the soldiers and families of those who have been disabled and killed in this war. The President can be sworn in at the Capitol and then address the nation. And in his inaugural address he can ask the nation to contribute to a fund to help wounded troops and the families of those who have lost loved ones. Somehow it is obscene for party goers to be dancing the Texas Two Step at the Black Tie and Boots Ball while across town young men and women are struggling to walk again at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval."
