Missing the Big Day
Today I will do some schoolwork (and by schoolwork, I mean write this) and recover from the shocking news that Laura Bush enjoys E.B. White's essays just as much as I do. (Yes, the one who wrote for the New Yorker and was a Manhattan Liberal until he moved to a farm and became a Crabapple Cove, Maine, Liberal.)
Actually, I wish more people would read the opposing sides. I have a book by an anti-choice activist on my table right now. And—unlike her husband—the First Lady once had a real job. I got to know a small town librarian when I worked in Fleishmanns, New York, and they rock my socks. So points to Laura Bush
What I would like to be doing today is be part of the inauguration Day events:
Of the nine separate inaugural balls (mostly organized by state) I would have liked to go “the Freedom Ball.” It would be interesting to see what people from Alabama, Michigan and Alaska have in common. But mostly, it would have been cool to see Union Station used for a dance.
I would have liked to have been at Sen. Rick Santorum's (R-PA) morning media event, to see just what's up with Santorum. (Santorum's re-election is deeply contested, thanks to his assertion that consensual sex in private is not protected by the Constitution and that legalizing homosexual sex would lead to incest and beastiality. Dan Savage is shepherding a campaign to rename ‘scat’—the somewhat frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex—after the senator. Santorum is part of the Bush campaign's “wictory” on-line fundraising efforts, which encourages bloggers to ask for donations to a republican candidate every Wednesday.)
I would of course have liked to see Bush's inaugural address. But from noon to one, I will have too little access to computers and too much access to undercooked, poor quality lunch. (Provided to our center via a contract with the Department of Defense for reasons not even our finance wizard can penetrate.) I'll have to read the text later tonight.
I would have liked to see Billionaires for Bush's auction of Social Security and ANWR and their Re-Coronation inaugural Ball at 8:30 tonight. Oh, and I've just read that Laura Bush has read the complete works of Truman Capote. Inexcusable—doesn't she know he's just another of the dozens of authors writing in the 50's who weren't as good as Gore Vidal? Williams, Burroughs, Ginsberg...but I digress.
The one thing today I hate missing out on more than any other will be Leiberman's interview on “The Daily Show” today. I mean, there's an inauguration every four years—how often does Joe Leiberman appear on TV with a Jew?
