I’m listening to the Inaugural Address right now. All the president’s fanboys seem to be sitting right next to the microphones, because each section of the address is punctuated by loud applause with a lot of “whoooooOOOOO!”, and miscellaneous hootin’ an’ hollerin’. Any protesters must be miles away (if they were allowed in at all), because you can’t hear any booing or catcalls.

At the end of the speech, you can hear the chants of “USA! USA! USA!…” as the president leaves the stage.

I’m certain that Karl Rove is getting a super stiffy right about now.

So, it’s official: four more years have begun. Let Jingoism Ring!
