- TheFuturist, on 01/14/2009, -7/+65Celebrities are so quick to suck dick.
- Yegger, on 01/14/2009, -4/+41No Rick Astley?
- PhoenixFlames, on 01/13/2009, -2/+36A Paparazzi orgasm will be inevitable.
- DrVic, on 01/14/2009, -3/+31what, no Slayer?
- 471776, on 01/14/2009, -9/+32It's an inauguration, not a ***** concert. We should try to retain at least some semblance of propriety. This is the kind of thing that makes other countries laugh at us.
- Trekhawk, on 01/14/2009, -7/+27It's not the first time we've inaugurated a president. Chill out.
- Surferess, on 01/13/2009, -1/+19Please send pics! - Not of the inauguration, of you dressed at Queen Latifah.
- bixby1, on 01/13/2009, -4/+22I'm going to dress like Queen Latifah and sneak in.
- inactive, on 01/14/2009, -5/+23 Where the white wimmen at?
- inactive, on 01/14/2009, -4/+21So is everyone who voted.
- DirtyVicar, on 01/14/2009, -5/+22U2 -- token alternative scene.
Bruce Springsteen -- token blue collar set.
Garth Brooks -- token NASCAR & redneck demographic.
For crying out loud, this is boring... at least throw in some They Might Be Giants or Red Hot Chili Peppers for some snazz instead of all this Grammy league stuff. And Beyonce? It's all about fame, A-list credentials, and earnings, eh? - untzboy, on 01/13/2009, -2/+17I'll be your left tit.
- theaceoffire, on 01/14/2009, -0/+14They won't announce that he is there until it is too late.
- IslandDog, on 01/14/2009, -5/+19Who cares. Look at all the money that is being wasted on this ceremony while democrats continue to tell us how bad off we all are.
- pitchblack16, on 01/13/2009, -10/+24Everyone wants to be a part of history.
- broncfan23, on 01/14/2009, -0/+14Hopefully he won't let us down.
- Mujokan, on 01/14/2009, -2/+15It's not at the inauguration, it's a concert this Sunday.
- yogurtslinger, on 01/14/2009, -1/+14for coke
- inactive, on 01/14/2009, -1/+13It's all about the black guest speakers.
- p51d007, on 01/14/2009, -3/+14Just think of all the carbon offsets these idiots will need to buy....You can bet they won't be "jet-pooling" to DC.
- btschul, on 01/14/2009, -6/+17Yeah! Let's celebrate tolerance by not inviting people we don't like!
- Mightbiteyou, on 01/14/2009, -4/+14they are just happy they will finally have a president who cares that pirates are stealing all of their money.

You mean, everyone wants to cash in. - irishjays, on 01/14/2009, -0/+10Instead of watching this year I'm going to go eat at ***** with future President Camacho right after i watch "Ow my Balls!"
- teh_spazz, on 01/14/2009, -4/+14Why the ***** does he need such fanfare?
Washington, Adams, and Jefferson are rolling in their graves right now. - theaceoffire, on 01/14/2009, -1/+10And invite Rick Astley.
- Santa34, on 01/14/2009, -0/+9I wish these blowhards would just shut the ***** up. I get that these people are famous but I wouldn't trust their opinion on dog food much less my countries leader.
- theaceoffire, on 01/14/2009, -4/+12It is the first time we've inaugurated *this* president.
- untzboy, on 01/13/2009, -0/+8Its available to everyone, or so my radio tells me.
- hcoimbra, on 01/13/2009, -4/+11HBO only? Boo.
- Hardcore41, on 01/14/2009, -1/+8Good use of taxpayer money
- Pasaris, on 01/13/2009, -6/+13It's a bloody circus. Try to keep it classy U.S.
- iancgi, on 01/14/2009, -14/+21So many people have fallen victim to this wolf in sheeps skin, its quite sad.
- gurtfrobe, on 01/14/2009, -0/+7Excuse me while I whip this out..
- Mujokan, on 01/14/2009, -0/+7They Might Be Giants? That's out of left field. Unless you are thinking of the "Lincoln" album...
- kkonarik, on 01/14/2009, -2/+9Why don't we wait and see how he does first people. He is already trying to use his future veto power to shove the legislative branch around so the other half of the bailout money (our taxes we pay) will be released. Yeah more failed business execs can keep there lifestyles going. Hmmmm not much of a change from Bushie Mr. Barack
- a2fan, on 01/14/2009, -2/+8From the description, it sounds like the inauguration has half-time entertainment... all we need now is discrete product placement: Denzel sips a Pepsi, Beyonce touches up with Maybeline and Barack texts something to Bono on his Blackberry.
- notrdame919, on 01/14/2009, -3/+9Right. It's a concert this Sunday...that is part of the big "Inaugural Celebration" that spans from late this week till Tuesday. If it was a separate event it would be held under better conditions and they'd charge a fortune for tickets. It's associated with the inauguration.
- Bloodwine, on 01/14/2009, -1/+7Obama overexposure. There is no way in hell he can live up to the hype.
- notrdame919, on 01/14/2009, -1/+7It's going to be way too crowded in DC already. My roommate works for the military (in DC) as a communications tech specialist and will be working several events at the inauguration. He said they're expecting 2-3 million people and are trying to prepare for 5 million. They're apparently having a decent amount of problems with strengthening the infrastructure to handle that large of a group. Security and facilities for everyone are two of the biggest. DC's main gathering areas really weren't designed to handle that massive of a crowd (main gathering areas, not the city itself). And with all of the roads being closed down, the metro is going to be insane.
Even before they planned all of the concerts it was destined to be a colossal mess, simply because of the amount of people expected to be present (most hotels anywhere near DC are booked solid and tons of people have rented out rooms in their homes just for the week for a small fortune, in addition to everyone who lives close enough already). Being "near by" doesn't mean as far away from the actual inauguration as you might think. There are so many events going on (check it out: http://www.inauguration.dc.gov/index.asp) with the official events, the parade, the concerts, the balls, and everything else, that being "near by" will probably mean within a few blocks - with so many people that might not make a big difference.
As far as being a circus, I guess it depends on how you define that, and to which events you're referring. It's going to be a media frenzy. There are going to be tons of celebrities and millions of people. Most people in attendance will probably be expecting a crazy celebration, not just some solemn swearing in of the new president. Tickets for most events are already gone (though free in many cases, nearly every event requires a ticket for security purposes). I've heard it's assumed that many people might not even be aware of the need to have a ticket to get in to events, so who knows what they'll be doing when they find out that they can't get in. So some events might be calm, quiet, etc., but you can almost bet that many of them will be "circuses."
P.S. - This long-ass comment wasn't intended entirely to argue with your "circus" comment haha I just thought that some people might be interested to learn what the situation is most likely going to be. I hope that it goes smoothly, but events of that size have a great potential to experience problems. - Mujokan, on 01/14/2009, -1/+7 But it's not the inauguration. There's an important difference. If it were at the inauguration, it would be ridiculous. As it is, I don't see the problem.
- Mujokan, on 01/14/2009, -3/+9Beyonce, secret leader of the NWO.
- weeFred, on 01/14/2009, -5/+11Don't you mean "Why are celebrities so obsessed with Democrats?" Obama isn't going to hollywood, hollywood is going to Obama.
- Javy42, on 01/14/2009, -0/+5Don't forget, no inauguration day is complete without a handjob at starbucks.
- thefirelane, on 01/14/2009, -2/+7You're exactly right, I for one would really hoping to see <first name> the <profession> there!
I can really relate to that person! - Javy42, on 01/14/2009, -4/+9This is f***ing ridiculous... there is no hope for American democracy.
Put your hand on a bible of your choosing, take your oath, shut the f*** up and get to work. - smallnshort247, on 01/14/2009, -1/+6Sounds like a lot of black ppl lol
- Crazyredivan, on 01/14/2009, -0/+5It should be on a basic cable channel...aren't we supposed to be celebrating coming together and change?
I don't see how lining HBO's pockets really accomplish that. - Skywise, on 01/14/2009, -0/+5I like money.
