Although President Obama had ten inaugural balls and President George W. Bush attended eight inaugural balls
to celebrate their first inaugurations,
'the Donald' will have only three inaugural balls, one of which is a traditional military ball.
So I guess he could only gather enough interest to have two balls?

It goes as far back as Andrew Jackson when he defended Peggy Easton from being banned from parties because of a scandal. (It was said she committed bigamy.)

Though not as large a threat as other illegal drugs, methamphetamine is readily available in DC. Seizures from local law enforcement tend to include relatively small amounts, which are most likely purchased from the surrounding states. The limited supply of DC methamphetamine is mainly controlled by Mexican criminal groups. There are, however, independent dealers (many of whom are teenagers and young adults) that distribute methamphetamine at nightclubs and on college campuses along with other club drugs. Methamphetamine addiction is responsible for a small, but growing number of local rehab admissions
