Who is going to watch the Inaugural coverage.

Going to be a long day. Suppose this will end up in PARF but thought I'd start it here.

LOL. I think I have some toilets to scrub, that sounds more pleasant.

I"ll record it.

My son is marching in the inaugural parade.

No, I'll be busy watching Roots backwards.

Is this the son at VMI, if I recall correctly? Good for him. How large a contingent will be marching?

All 1500 "Keydets".

They are the last group. I think I mentioned before that my Dad marched at Truman's Inauguration went he was a Cadet at West Point.

Circle of life. I have an old B&W of him in the parade...I'm sure we'll have a bit more coverage on this one:cool:

I won't be watching but I'm hoping for him to be apolitical and uplifting in his address. Save the politics for tomorrow.

Great, my alma mater's band is marching.

I'm watching Metal Mania for a few hours and then riding my bike to LA after lunch. No news for me today is good news.

"Media blackout day" for me today.

I will be working to pay some taxes.

I'm going to sit on a corner in downtown LA and watch panhandlers earn their money.

He's already been inaugurated, now he's just trying to upstage MLK. What a clown. At least he used a Bible again.

LOL.

Feelin' the love...

Only if there is a breaking news newsflash. ;)

Great memory for him. I marched in Reagan's second inaugural parade, I still have several mementos.

There are no words adequate to express my thanks for the great honor that you have bestowed on me. I will do my utmost to be deserving of your trust. 4
This is, as Senator Mathias told us, the 50th time that we the people have celebrated this historic occasion. When the first President, George Washington, placed his hand upon the Bible, he stood less than a single day's journey by horseback from raw, untamed wilderness. There were 4 million Americans in a union of 13 States. Today we are 60 times as many in a union of 50 States. We have lighted the world with our inventions, gone to the aid of mankind wherever in the world there was a cry for help, journeyed to the Moon and safely returned. So much has changed. And yet we stand together as we did two centuries ago. 5
When I took this oath four years ago, I did so in a time of economic stress. Voices were raised saying we had to look to our past for the greatness and glory. But we, the present-day Americans, are not given to looking backward. In this blessed land, there is always a better tomorrow. 6
Four years ago, I spoke to you of a new beginning and we have accomplished that. But in another sense, our new beginning is a continuation of that beginning created two centuries ago when, for the first time in history, government, the people said, was not our master, it is our servant; its only power that which we the people allow it to have. 7
That system has never failed us, but, for a time, we failed the system. We asked things of government that government was not equipped to give. We yielded authority to the National Government that properly belonged to States or to local governments or to the people themselves. We allowed taxes and inflation to rob us of our earnings and savings and watched the great industrial machine that had made us the most productive people on Earth slow down and the number of unemployed increase. 8
By 1980, we knew it was time to renew our faith, to strive with all our strength toward the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with an orderly society.
