Rhubarb:

I’m detecting hostile beings, Captain.

Fr. Dubay was right, nothing provokes a person to hostility quicker than suggesting they are irresponsible in how they handle money.

The up coming Inauguration of the second most powerful man in the world is estimated to cost in excess of $57,000,000.

Is this money well spent for the whole country or, an insult to those living in poverty?

How much did merry old England spend on Charles and Diana’s ill-fated marriage? Was that done on private donantions per chance? Who pays the royals’ annual stipend? Who is footing the bill for Prince Harry to party hardy in his Nazi uniform?

Is the annual cost of occupying Northern Ireland for the last 900 years money well spent for the whole country or is an insult to those people living without freedom in their own country?

As they say on this side of the pond, those who live in glass houses should refrain from throwing stones.

A good amount of that money goes to protect our country’s leadership from terrorists that you keep saying we shouldn’t go after. If we didn’t go after them, the inauguration would probably cost 1 billion dollars. Plus, any other noteworthy, dignitary attended event in the U.S. or any wester country would cost hundreds of millions in security alone. Be thankful we are keeping the costs down.

God bless America. Also, God bless Tony Blair.

When all is said and done we will have given this +++ to the Tsunami, and to any number of international relief missions… Why not celebrate? not the Man but the tradition of the BEST, INSERT YOUR MOST FLATTERING ADJECTIVE HERE: ______________ Nation ever to have (By GOD’S OWN GRACE) existed on the EARTH!!!

GOd Bless America! God Bless George Walker Bush!!!

AMEN! By the way, I don’t remember any outcry like this when Clinton had his two inaugurations. They were expensive also.

Read Bias By Bernie Goldgberg and you will see the emphais that the media places on things like homelessness only during a Republican presidency. It is the fun that the media has when they are mad about losing. Their minds turn to the negative and it just all happens to happen during a Republican presidency.

What if they held the inaguration in Portland, OR!! Yeah, that’s the ticket!!

I don’t know… but we were very happy to have the ice skating nationals!

Seriously, though, if Portland had to foot a $57 million security bill, the taxpayers would have a coronary.
