CNN estimates taypayer cost of 100 million for inauguration.
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 11:10 AM by dmordue
On CNN this morning (TV on link) estimates were given that the total security costs to tax payers for the entire inauguration celebration will be 100 million. In addition, the corporations will donate approximately 40 million that will be used for the parties and not for security. We are the ones really paying for the inauguration for the first time in history and we will receive no representation.

Watch the Bush coronation and you will see who Bush really believes is the heart and soul of America.

Has any one else heard a similar estimate or confirm it with a link?

2. Black Thursday indeed...
More than half the voting populace believes in and firmly gives their support to:

1. Lies

2. Ignorance

3. Fear

4. Hatred

They have firmly announced that they hate America and all it stands for, preferring a theocracy of insane, greedy, religious warlords.

I am alive until I'm dead.........

5. Not a federal holiday...
However, non-essential fed employees in DC will have the day off to keep down traffic.

Bush is an idiot!
