10 Enjoyable Things To Do On Inauguration Day

November 18th, 2008 · 17 Comments

A lot of conservatives will be tempted to stay in bed Jan. 20.  After all, that date is set to go down in history as the one on which Barack Obama was inaugurated 44th president of the United States. Rather than stay in bed, though, I recommend you enjoy one or more of the following 10 Enjoyable Things To Do On Inauguration Day:

1.  Search for a second or third job to help pay your higher taxes;

2.  Stage a Ronald Reagan Film Festival in your community;

3.  Attend a high school or college basketball game;

4.  Search your kitchen for recalled food products;

5.  Play Halo 3 and/or Wii with your teenager(s);

6.  Ignore all news media sources for 24 hours;

7.  Shovel snow off your driveway;

8.  Schedule a colonoscopy;

9.  File your tax return; and

10. Stay in bed.

    Wouldn’t a list with a headline of “13 Enjoyable Things…” normaly have 13 items in it?

    Hey, Chris, what can I say? I ran it through Congress, and they modified it! BTW: How do you normally spell the word, normally?

    stay in bed with your significant other and procreate more little republicans who can overthrow the socialist state who have taken over our republic.

    sam*i*am,

    Sounds like a great plan — for young conservatives, that is — as I’ve done my part in procreation already.

    I think I will set up the LCD projector outside pointing towards the garage door and play my Reagan presidential speeches DVD at full blast, so my neighborhood can remember what a REAL PRESIDENT sounded like.

    Good idea, Clay!

    So many Republicans… So few bullets :(

    Me — Sounds like you’re making a threat to me, so I forwarded your info to Mal Hyde, South Australia’s Commissioner of Police. Good luck hiding from him.

    Why so negative?

  • 11 hotoffthepress2 // Dec 5, 2008 at 9:22 am

    Who’s negative? I’m focusing on positive things to do on inauguration day.

    Or maybe you could all act like adults and appreciate the orderly transition of our government. Could it be that’s too much to ask?

  • 13 hotoffthepress2 // Dec 26, 2008 at 6:51 am

    CJ — What’s it like to be a sheeple blindly following Obama’s empty mantra of hope and change? Sure, we appreciate the orderly transition. Just can’t stand the Chicago Machine politics that preceded it.

    Hope it’s ok, I’ve linked to you. Love the list, and your responses to the comments. ;-)

    Link away, Tami! Thanks!

  • 16 Jeremy // Jan 4, 2009 at 1:51 am

    I love comments like the “act like adults” one above. Oh, if we only had to worry about the transition of our government.

    Speaking of that! Since when does Obama’s transition team get a .gov address? Last time I checked, a transition team didn’t get one.

    Good observation, Jeremy!
