[livejournal.com profile] suricattus is here, safe, and curled up on the couch checking her email. Right now our plan is to spend much of the next three days writing, then head downtown early on Tuesday. The American History museum opens at 8 a.m. and they have a new Lincoln exhibit, so even if we run away from the cold, the crowds, and the pickpockets, we'll have had something to see. And if we don't run away, we'll try to elbow our way to a jumbotron to see, and maybe check out the Pompeii exhibit too.

In the meantime, Inauguration insanity is proceeding apace.

The bad kind. The link that's all over my flist, of the anti-abortion group that is having hysterics because Krispy Kreme "is honoring American’s sense of pride and freedom of choice on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer on this historic day, Jan. 20." And we all know what being free to choose REALLY means. Won't someone think of the CHILDREN?

The good kind, although equally insane, are the number of things that are being branded with Obama's face. Metro has put him on the farecards. (This is actually an amazingly sly way of getting extra cash, because you have to have a credit on the card to get to keep it at the end of the ride.) And I took Suri to dinner at the District Chophouse, who are selling commemorative "Barack Bock" pint glasses.
