an inauguration eve tale

Tonight I take a momentary respite from The Panty Land Diaries to bring you a tale from my new place of employment.

Tonight before we got on the phones, we were discussing the inauguration. Someone asked what time the coverage started, someone else joked that the coverage started a month ago. And then one bright individual asked the following question:

"Yeah, but what time is the acceptance speech?"

Acceptance speech? Baby, this is not the Grammys. Although if politicians and musicians do have one thing in common, it would be their propensity for thanking Jesus for near about everything.

Happy Inauguration Eve, everyone. I think I speak for you and me both when I say, we're ready.

cheers,
