Dear Mr President-Elect,

"Yes we can" is probably not a Constitutionally-valid response to the Oath of Office.

Similarly, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" is also right out, except perhaps later, in the Residence. This later event probably should not involve the Chief Justice.

With believable hope,

Dear Mr President,

Don't keep your Secret Service detail from not letting the door hit you on the way out.

With palpable relief,

Dear Secret Service Detail for the Soon-To-Be-Former President,

Just 10 years - only 3652 days - until you don't have to see him again either.

With sympathy,

Dear Internet,

...wow, that's a lot of Inauguration drinking games.

Utterly without surprise,

Now there's a detail equivalent to being transferred to Alaska.

Worse than that - Wasilla, Alaska.

I just hope everyone makes it through today intact. DC was not exactly ...

Those are some massive crowds.

All the better to prevent hypothermia?

But. Yes. It looked like the Mall was made of heads and trees.

Or something. My mother said it didn't do much to warm her up; apparently she got up and headed out at 4am to try to get to see something. It didn't work. She was also apparently the only DC resident that she could find to actually brave the crowds. Very silly woman.

It was. It really was.

This is one of those few occasions where I wish I had TV reception to watch.
