Didn't even try the link cause I'm on dial-up and I'd be here all day (according to those above)...but I do have this to say about the celebrations...

Heard an interview on a radio show where a reporter from Vanity Fair was to call in to Fox News and talk about the inauguration celebrations and their decorations. At least that's what the Fox News person thought. Turned out the Vanity Fair reporter had her own agenda. She ripped the Pres. a new one about spending $40 million on parties when our troops were in the battle field with crappy equipment (or the lack of proper defense equipment)...and she thought the money could have been better spent in a time of war, as did other Presidents in the past in having just a small celebration in light of the war being fought at the time. The Fox News chick was blindsided...beings Fox News is pro Bush all the way! ROFLMFAO!
