That&#8217;s the way I feel about this Inauguration. EVERY SINGLE local news broadcast since the election began with a reference to the expected record-breaking crowds on Inauguration day. I got an email last night from an old high school friend who said that for once she envied me for living in DC and being able to attend the Inauguration. Anyone coming to DC for the Inauguration and expecting it to be a good time has never been to an Inauguration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But I&#8217;m tired of hearing about the historical implications, I&#8217;m tired of messiah imagery, I&#8217;m tired of hearing about the healing that&#8217;s begun, I&#8217;m tired of hearing Barrack Obama&#8217;s name every ten seconds on every single news broadcast even about stuff that doesn&#8217;t involve him. And big damn deal, he rode a train from Philadelphia.

Hundreds over the last eight years (I know because my wife would tell me when she got home from working at Walter Reed).
