I cannot wait to celebrate on January 20th at noon, but in our excitement about the election of Barack Obama, have we forgotten the first half of the day? As DailyKos' resident drunkard (since N-Y-E eve that is) I feel it is important to remind you that there is a reason to get sloshed before noon. We are not just celebrating the inauguration of our nation's next president, but we are showing the effing door to the last one.
Jump! Come on everybody's doing it.
My grandpa always used to say that there's no shame in drinking excessively, if there's good reason. Sometimes it was catching the first fish (at 6 AM), sometimes it was wedding receptions (rather later), and sometimes it was just because the sunrise looked so damn perty, and the loons were out on the water.
So I say, let's do this thing right. Let's celebrate both occasions. I personally plan to begin three days before, and promise to post a typo laden diary each day until the Finauguration/Inauguration.
I may just be drunk enough that at 11:59AM on January 20th, I will scream,"Fuck the President!" Followed at 12:01PM by,"God bless the President!"
It seems like the thing to do, and I'm only slightly hammered now. Just think how awesome I will think it is when I'm shitcanned.
So to our future Finaugurant, fuck you in your stupid ass, and to our future inaugurant, I wish the best to you sir.
