Enough with the Lovefest

Perhaps its just my faulty memory, but as best as I can recollect this giddy lovefest that is going on in the media for tomorrow's Inauguration of the new President just didn't happen 4 or 8 years ago.

I remember quite clearly talking my then-supervisor from work into hosting a Victory 2000 party on January 20, 2000 to celebrate the swearing in of the 43rd POTUS, and everyone who wasn't part of that party had puzzled "why in the world would you be excited about a President getting sworn in?!?" looks on their faces.

Perhaps I am just missing the part about being excite to join hands and sing Kumbaya all night long....
