WOO HOO! Inauguration Day!

Deep down, I think I was still holding out hope that John Kerry was somehow magically going to sneak onto the stage and get himself sworn in as our next President today. I guess that won't be happening.

My prediction for next week: Rehnquist steps down from the Supreme Court to be replaced by a Swift Boat Vet, or if none are available (there's still plenty of work to be done on the anti-Kerry 2005 campaign), Robert Bork. Or perhaps Bush attempts to nominate Ronald Reagan posthumously??

Or maybe Bush will have his lawyers trying to determine whether Donald Rumsfeld can serve both as Secretary of Defense and Supreme Court Justice?

I am not looking forward to these next few years.

[1/21/05 note - after reading this post just now, I realize that I may have unconsciously stolen the anti-Kerry 2005 Campaign joke from something like Whitehouse.org, the Daily Show, the Onion, etc. On the other hand, perhaps I previously made that joke myself -- meaning those bastards stole it from me first!]
