5. TV is the opiate of the masses
If I want to fry my brain I'll use drugs. As is I have NO interest in the MSM take on this b*shit.

6. I won't watch any of it!
I'm retired so I have the time and opportunity, but my brain can't stand it! I simply can't listen to King George any time he's on tv. I'm surely not going to waste my time with this foolishness tomorrow.

9. Not me! No way! Uh-uh!
I've rented a couple of movies and have plenty of reading to catch up on! I also planned ahead so I don't spend any money tomorrow!

The very thought of this day makes my stomach hurt!

But on the other hand..we'll be one day closer to the end of this nightmare, if * makes it to the end! (2nd term presidents don't do well, historically) One can only hope!

17. I am not watching one second of it.
And, I am an avid watcher of American history. I was into the Reagan funeral and I couldn't stand the guy. But, I thought it was important to be an observer of history as it happened - the ceremonies that are a part of American presidencies, you know? But, I'm checking out of this one. I'm totally ignoring it.

And, not one damned dime!!!

21. NO!
I'm no masochist. There are too many unpleasant things in this world that are unavoidable, so I will avoid the inauguration.

23. I have no intention of watching the coronation
I shall be spending the day with school studies and watching the Scifi channel and Kolchak - The Night Stalker.

Bush = The Night Stalker. Anybody see any relationship?

28. I can't watch any of it
But I am going to a protest here.

Is there a DU page or thread with protest info. nationwide? I'd like to check into something like that tomorrow, rather than the conservative mainstream media.

29. Today I will go about my daily business
and studiously ignore the second coronation of the Boy King, Puppet Pretender to the Throne of the United States of America. I plan to see one, possibly more if I can fit it in between now and midnight on Friday morning, independent films. That will involve spending money, but the amount will be minimal and in support of indie filmmakers.

Buck Fush Forever!!! :kick:

31. Better question is--Who IS watching?
I blocked that jerk from my radar screen years ago. When I hear that ignorant Texas twang of his, I change the channel immediately. If a village idiot gets inaugurated but nobody sees it, did it really happen? No!

34. I'll watch if there's good filmage of the protesters. Otherwise, it's
just a 40 million dollar private Republican party. It has nothing to do with America or Americans.

36. I'm sick, and watching this travesty would make me even sicker
so I pass.

I can't bear to watch such senseless, wasteful, indulgent pageantry when so many in the world are suffering needlessly.
