A variety of organizations and establishments in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are hosting Inauguration-watching parties on Tuesday January 20, as the most historic exciting mind-blowing political event in the history of the world will occur when Barack Obama is sworn in as President. The list includes Democratic party gatherings as well as parties hosted by restaurants and theaters such as the Magnolia. Is this kind of thing more fun to watch with other people? I guess it gets you feeling solidarity with your fellow man and all that.

Can't resist a plug for one of my favorite local eateries, Cafe Lago, which is having an Obama Bash on inauguration evening.

I'm very confused. Are bars just going to be be re-running his speech at night? Sounds pretty lame...if you care that much, you'll watch live - otherwise you'll find it online.
Fail.

The rerun speeches and parties are free of the "it's 11 a.m. and I can't get drunk at work" problem.

C-SPAN, the only cable channel to watch cover these kinds of events.

Democrat, Republican, black, or white....the only change that's coming is the left wing elements of the Democratic party have solidified their control over this country, our economy, and society.

The rich get richer, the middle class get more squeezed, and the under-class get more entitlements.

Just to clarify on the Denton County event, it is free to get in but you're on your own for food and drink. But Prairie House has portions bigger than your head, so it's worth it.
