Unless You’d Like To Spend Forty Bucks On A Commemorative Egg

I feel pretty confident somehow that we’ll see fewer eggs being tossed around  in DC this January 20 than we did in 2001 (although strangely, you can buy a Russian-made innaugural egg pendant to commemorate the event). In spite of an expected record turnout, so far the greatest security concern seems to be whether or not there’ll be enough porta potties to go around. Like the old saying goes: If you have a party and this many people come, you better make sure they have some place to “go”. That’s why someone has already put together the handy guide Where To Pee in DC. For those of you who are lucky enough to have a ticket, a friendly reminder: no firearms, ammunition (real or simulated), or explosives are allowed. And on that note, unless you already do have a ticket, you probably won’t. Unless you have an extra $40,000 to throw around that is. Otherwise the only two hot news items regarding the inauguration seem to be which bible passage Obama will emphasize as he uses the Abe Lincoln bible to be sworn in, and how the hell Rick Warren got inauguration tickets.
