Good News ... Sorta ...

Republicans to flee DC for inauguration

Sadly I think a lot of them are planning to go back. We couldn't possibly be so lucky that every Republican would leave DC permanently. But a boy can dream ...

Will some of these Republicans flock to NYC on January 20th? If so, we New Yorkers should be gracious to them. After all, on that date a lot of them will be out of work, and with the economy being what it is (thanks to them), NYC needs all the visitors it can get. Let's hope these depressed GOPers drown their sorrows in our city's various watering holes and crash in our hotels. That should add some tax revenue to the "ol' coffers," to quote their outgoing President.

My only concern is that a lot of these disgruntled Republicans who might visit NYC during that week would bring guns -- we know how much Republicans love their guns, "from my cold dead hands", etc. Let's just hope they leave the guns behind -- I can only imagine some angry drunk Republican in a New York City bar (or elsewhere in the land) watching Obama getting swore-in on TV and then shooting out the screen. If you're going to a bar full of Republicans on January 20th, better watch the hell out.

We've all heard about the possible record attendance to Obama's inauguration. My guess is that a lot of them will be people who just want to make sure that George W. Bush is one Republican who does leave DC for good on January 20th (personally I won't breath easy until it's wheels up on the SOB's plane). It's sort of like showing up to the funeral of a person you don't like -- not because you're mourning the person, just because you want to make sure that he (or she) is dead.
