I bet there are so many people coming for this thing, we have them staying all the way up here in the country commuting.

OH, so it is like what happens at the Rose Parade only smaller.

I have bravely decided to stay home from the Inaug, even though I have family in Arlington. Your illustration of the possible bathroom deficits reassures me I made the right choice.

I heard that to use the Port-a-Potties during the Inauguration, you have to make reservations beforehand through Ticketron. I heard it.

And I am NOT helping to shove the Air and Space Museum - I've got a bad back.

What? Nothing about how the bars will be serving liquor until 4:00 a.m.???

It's going to be an almighty clusterf*ck, if you'll pardon my French. (But I'm still thinking of walking across the 14th Street bridge.)

Isn't the 14th St bridge a pretty long hike?

I think we'll have less flowers than the Rose Bowl parade, although perhaps Move-On will strew them in his path...

Someone I work with just came back from a D.C. trip and said he's never seen more porta-potties in his life... ever.

Ewwwww.

Just think of the state of alllllll those clean porta-potties AFTER....

Ewwww.

I just grossed myself out.
