Moot point, but I'd have a subsequent engagement.

1. Give it to a homeless Vietnam veteran.
Along with a shower, shave, suit and haircut. THAT might turn out in a rather interesting manner.

4. Tear it into small pieces right in front of them
Anyone who did that to me would be doing it just to be an asshole, so I'd destroy it. That way, they couldn't go see their boy king either.

8. I'd laugh at loud
at someone dumb enough to think I'd want to go.

Personally, I won't be listening or watching any of the re coronation festivities today.

Four years ago I didn't watch, and when my husband came home from work he turned on TV and whatever channel was on was showing the swearing in. I said, "Well that's his first lie" not realizing how true that was.

9. It should be a swearing at, not a swearing in.

11. I'd go
Get righteously drunk, and try to start a fight with a Republican donor. After being thrown out, I would urinate on some Republican donor's car, then move on to another bar.

12. I'd go...

15. I'd go.
I'd dress appropriately, plus wear a blue armband and my 'Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry!' button. I' drink their booze and eat their food and constantly bring up subjects that made them uncomfortable.

20. Okay, don't hate me for this
...but I actually went to 41s Inaguration and Ball. My best friend worked at the Reagan WH and got me the invite. It was no big deal. They certainly were a boring lot.

21. If it got me close enough to fling a turd at the sonuvabitch . . .
I'd take it.

Otherwise I'd send it back with a note: "Sorry, I don't party with scum-sucking, slug-f*cking, pusilanimous progeny of butt-f*cked mules -- especially if they are traitors and war criminals."

And then I'd prepare for my FBI interview.

(Ya know, I think I just don't LIKE this guy Bush -- anybody else out there feel the same?)

23. some one did
and I told them I would take a rain check and go with them when a real president was being sworn in. They laughed and shook their heads. I can't laugh but I shook my head also.
