Tickets to the Inauguration

Carol Maric — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 12:51:53 EST

Tickets to the Inauguration:

http://inaugural.senate.gov/

" Tickets to the 56th Inaugural Ceremonies will be provided free of charge and distributed through Members of the 111th Congress. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies does not provide tickets to the public. Members of the public interested in attending the Inaugural Ceremonies should contact their Member of Congress or U.S. Senators to request tickets.

The public should also be aware that no website or other ticket outlet actually has inaugural swearing-in tickets to sell, regardless of what they may claim. Tickets will not be distributed to Congressional offices until the week before the inauguration and will require in-person pick-up.

“Any website or ticket broker claiming that they have inaugural tickets is simply not telling the truth,” said Howard Gantman, Staff Director for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. “Tickets for the swearing-in of President-elect are all provided through members of Congress, and the President-elect and Vice President-elect through the Presidential Inaugural Committee. We urge the public to view any offers of tickets for sale with great skepticism.”

Members of the public interested in attending the Inaugural Ceremonies should contact their Member of Congress or U.S. Senators to request tickets. "

I Yelled "PRESIDENT OBAMA!"

Carol Maric — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 02:53:45 EST

I yelled and hooted at a long impromptu celebratory gathering at Bedford and N7+ in Williamsburg, 11211.

I tried to get a "President Obama" cheer going; even right in front the crowd of police, I yelled emphatically "President Obama...President Obama...President Obama, you just remember that!..." several times--no takers on that chant.

Then we all kept clapping and cheering while the helicopter hovered.

President Obama, Yes!!!

Huckabee's Egregious Obama/Gun Joke

Carol Maric — Fri, 16 May 2008 23:42:25 EDT

Whether Huckabee did not mean it (it was a joke!) and is sorry (most of them plead "sorry" when they get into trouble) or not, he just handed his spontaneous and subconsciously hostile thoughts up on a silver platter to his National RIFLE Association friends.

Huckabee just lost many votes that he did not even get. Despicable.
