Alternative Plans for Coronation Night
Television is already unwatchable with wall to wall Bush inauguration coverage. So what ary your plans for tomorrow evening?
Unless I get a better idea, I think I'll watch the videotape I made of MTV's 1993 Inaugural Ball for Clinton. It opened with Don Henley singing "Dirty Laundry" and Leonard Cohen's "Democracy." ("Democracy is coming, to the U.S.A.") He also sang, if i recall correctly, Bob Dylan's "The Times, They Are a Changing."
Ok, so the last two were not great predictions. We can either say "wake me up in 2008" or "let's start working on 2006." I'll think about it tomorrow.
Meanwhile, check out some of the headlines of the foreign press. How's this for confidence in the direction our leader is taking us: World Fears New Bush Era. Here at home, Salon outlines 34 scandals of the first Bush Administration, "every one of them worse than Whitewater."
