Hail to the
Shrub, and all that jazz
Hmm.
It seems that there's been a spot of protesting in Washington along
the Inaugural Parade route.
Which certainly shouldn't be surprising, all told -- then again,
I'm sure George W. doesn't give much of a whoop. He's in, Clinton's
out, and that's all that matters to his team.
Okay,
fine. We've dealt with questionable presidents before, and we will
do it again. Barring a coup or Handmaiden's Tale-esque takeover
(most unlikely, of course, but it's still reassuring that I'm relatively
close to an international border AND have a British husband), the
Shrub shouldn't be all that disasterous on a personal level.
What
I have a few issues with are some of his announced choices, such
as John Ashcroft for attorney general and this Faith-Based funding
fiasco. The next four years should be such a joy.
But
enough of Presidential whinging -- I'm back in Stockholm! Back in
the arms of my beloved, and clinging to him like Anna Nicole Smith
to a Ding-Dong. We have three actual days together, and we're going
to make the most of every single minute.
So
if you don't see much from me over the next few days, you'll understand
why. Just be happy for me -- I've got to store up enough memories
to last me for five long weeks.
