Some of the museums -- and all of the Smithsonians -- along the National Mall will be open for warmth and bathrooms.

Unless the Smithsonian assumes that everyone on the Mall has already been screened and just opens their doors, their own security precautions and screening (including bag-checks, X-ray machines and metal detectors) will be in place as well.

The day after Thanksgiving I took my family down to see the renovated National History Museum. We were aiming for arrival right at opening (10am), but finding parking was a bear and we had to walk from the Tidal Basin parking lot. When we arrived at 10:30 the waiting line to get in had just cleared.

Planners are expecting 600,000 people to come to town on 10,000 buses --

After the 20th we will be treated to stories about how Obama's peeps endured all manner of hardship to be in the same city while their savior was inaugurated. None of them will actually see anything but the butt ends of the folks in front of them.

I have a friend who is tagging her emails with:

Never in the field of US politics have so many waited so long for so little.

A slight change is in order:

Never in the history of mankind have so many stood for so long in such cold for so little

I’m sure your grandchildren will just love being cold, wet, hungry, sleeping outdoors and crying while you indulge in your insanity.

I’m still hoping that God will have mercy on our country and open (and then close up) a huge hole underneath the grandstand...

As entertaining as that would be, what we need is a David to lead the battle against these Philistines.

"Even without tickets, Lyman is taking 106 people to Washington D.C. on a bus. "It doesn't matter," Lyman said. "I'm going on faith."

Looks like "the One" is going to have to spread some loaves and fishes.

I don't think he's up to it and I think there will be RIOTS AND LOOTING

Weather Forecast for Inauguration

[andyandval]

It rained so hard I thought I saw pairs of animals showing up.

No tarps or tents to be had.

The original live thread on fr was riotous but I can't find it.

we are going to be privileged to see the results of this mistake.

My feelings for him is mutual. Screw him.

I thought they were expecting between 1-4 million. That’s a huge difference, but estimates were more than 600,000. Maybe those are the numbers going on busses. Then there are the cabs, trains, autos, the locals, etc.
