Sunday Evening

I'm not watching — and I shall continue to not watch — any of the inauguration activities. That's not because this country is installing a man who is a convicted felon and a jury-decreed molester and an incredible liar and you can fill in others things that he is for yourself. No, I've never watched the inauguration or related festivities of any president. What I see of them always looks like we're crowning a king, not installing a public servant. My kind of president would probably say, "Skip the coronation and put the money towards something more important. I just want to be sworn in and then I'll go right to work."

I don't expect to ever see that happen…but there are a lot of things about government that I don't expect to ever see happen. I'll bet you have a list of your own. We probably all have our lists of things we desperately don't want to see happen…but in the coming months, will.
