The current press is full of nothing much except inauguration news. No surprise, I guess, but not very interesting reading for those of us non-obots who didn't vote for BHO and aren't excitedly awaiting his manifold blessings.
Our feelings during the inauguration are like those you have watching the celebrations of the other team that beat your team in the post-season bowl game. There is an intense desire to change the channel and think about something else.
I suspect a lot of us are out here experiencing emotions not unlike those of a person just coming down with flu and knowing the next couple of weeks will be really miserable. Only, in our case, we are thinking the next four years are likely to be mostly unpleasant.
Not that we looked forward to four years of McCain with glee, more like with anxious, guarded optimism. Still, it was definitely the lesser of two evils.
