Well it looks like the people got their moneys worth, the $170,000,000 inauguration was certainly a historic event not just for America, but the entire world. While Obama's speech offered hope and promise for the future, the market (particularly financials) has been devastated. Here is a taste of what is going on today.As the Dow has struggled to keep its head above 8,000...Bank of America will re

My Pal Brian from Across the River in Virginia shares my thoughts of the mess of Inauguration!Via Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C.

For those who voted for McCain/Palin, this month's Inaugurat
As per several of my previous posts; many, many folks are trying to rent out their homes for the influx of visitors to the Washington DC area. Well it seems that supply has reached a huge amount and the demand isn't all that.
The Washington Post Reports that there is, in fact, a huge amount of Inventory. This Article in the Post lays out: Don't expect to rent out your place. &nbs
Everyone is talking of the huge crowds coming into the Washington DC area for the Inauguration - and the fact that traffic is only going to get worse.
Just this evening I went to dinner with friends on the other side of town. After dinner I headed home (1.7 miles away). First there was a Mot

Even though I stand by my position that the election of Barack Obama as America's first African-American President represents a breakthrough from which atheists also may one day benefit, (see my Nov. 9 post "A Step Forward For American Atheists?") I am disappointed that he chose Pastor Rick Warren, a homophobic Christian fundamentalist preacher, to deliver the invocation at Obama's inaug
I fully support this lawsuit. Religion should have NOTHING to do with Politics. It should not be present at the Inauguration, in the Pledge of Allegiance or on any money bills (legal tender).
Kudos to Minnesota Atheists! Positive Atheism in Action!

In his victory speech on election night, Barack Obama said: “Change has come to America.” We had no idea that the change he was talking about would go beyond restoring the US’s shattered international image and possibly putting an end to the films of Michael Moore.

Over the weekend I was talking to some friends living in the Washington DC metro area, who told me that they are planning to rent out their place during the week of President-Elect’s Obama’s inauguration (Jan 18 to Jan 24, with the big day on Tuesday Jan 20th 2009). I had heard that this is pretty normal for DC residents around inauguration time, but what really stunned me was how much they we

The tickets, which are supposed to be free of charge and will not be
But with the expected popularity of Barack Obama’s inauguration, the senator in charge of the shindig is asking eBay and other private sale sites to ban the re-sale of the tickets so nobody has to pay. …

Tried to get a hotel in DC on or around January 20, 2009, lately?
Good luck! I tried searching for rooms on the Internet today, and could only find one hotel with a rate listed at all, and that rate was $369.00 a night.
That's not bad, though, compared to the $652 a night rates I've been hearing about, nearly double the rates that I've found on previous searches in that market.
Yes, they can.

Nagarjuna also made his presence in the event.Courtesy:greatandhra
It seems the heroines are following the rule 'Make hay while the Sun shines'. As they could not get many opportunities in films, with the directors and producers looking for new talent and glamour for most of the films, some of the established heroines were concentrating on events like inauguration of shops and other such events. They were demanding payment on the lines of a film for the inauguration of showrooms. As per grape wine sources, Trisha[Images] demanded Rs 10 lakhs for the inauguration of a cloth shop. The businessmen, who were of the opinion that inauguration by a glamour heroine would fetch them a good business, are worried at the heavy remuneration demanded by these artistes. Let us take a glance at the remuneration being demanded by other stars. Mamata Mohandas[Images] deman
