Agreed. It does get tiresome,  and  I  doubt  any  of  us on either side are
convincing anyone of anything more at this point. (What? Jeff and I agree on
something? {:-)}) I think we can  start  the moratorium right away. We might
even make it semi-permanent...?

----------
Count me in. I think inaugurations are one of the more ridiculous aspects of
the election of Presidents in the US. What a waste. What a show. I feel like
calling  in   Barnum&Bailey...has   any  President   entered   office  in  a
non-ostentatious fashion in the past 40 years or so? Maybe the past 200?

(Hmm...dangerous precedent set: Jeff and I now agree on *2* things! {:-)})
