Pity the peasants can't afford these things.

Otherwise, under the circumstances, I'd recommend we all get togged up and go to the Equality Ball on Inauguration night.

So what shall we do on the 20th? Anything to keep us out of the limo traffic around the Hill...

I may be required to squire my ex-girlfriend to An Event. If the current boy is not available. Which apparently he may not be, due to counterscheduling issues.

(Still the best ex-boyfriend on earth. Yes, me. See the label?)

That label's printed in gold, sweetie. And everybody knows it. Your motives may be a bit scuffed, but your actions are sublime.

Oooh, wonder if you're bound for the Big One? Of course, Illinois is totally sold out, so we know who's making an appearance, so that's a hot ticket. Also, likely, Hawaii--pity my fam isn't poi-litical. Wonder if the Cong. Black Caucus's shindig will be graced? Or would that be too, you know, "his people"?

(Yes, I'm surly and cynical. Always am 'round this time every four years. What's wrong with "get sworn in, walk home," the old-fashioned way? Whose stupid idea was having a minister at the inauguration, anyway? And what do several dozen three-hundred-buck-a-ticket parties have to do with democracy?)

(Can you tell it used to be my job to stand in the corner at those things with a coily cord sticking out of my ear? I was once propositioned by an auto industry lobbyist while on duty.)

I'd love to know why the Cowboy's growly lately. I don't think he has anything in principle against inaugurations...

You think he voted for Hillary?

...

...It's as likely as any of the other possibilities.

I mean, who the hell did he vote for?
