Inauguration I Know We Are All Excited...

Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 6:02 PM

...but the front page of the Huffington Post reads:

"Arianna: We Are All Being Inaugurated Tomorrow."

Dear Arianna Huffington: While I honestly appreciate your enthusiasm, we are not all being inaugurated tomorrow. Unless by "inaugurated" you mean "getting drunk." In which case I will be inaugurated as fuck by midnight.

These ESL types are sometimes amusing, sometimes tiresome, but rarely do they know the difference.

Certainly hyperbole must be curbed. I look forward to this policy applied to all future Slog posts.

We're all Joe the Plumber! We're all being inaugurated!

*I'm* being inaugurated; so is everyone I know. You're not? Sorry you've been left out, Paul.

WHAT ABOUT MEMBERS OF THE QFBTLG COMMUNITY? THE ONLY THING THAT IS HAPPENNING TO US IS THAT WE'RE BEING THROWN UNDER THE BUS AS USUAL.

@8: Until you turn off your caps lock you should just resign yourself to getting thrown under the bus.

So that's what the kids are calling it these days....

I was Inaugurated right between First Communion and Confirmation. But it wasn't one of those times the girls take off their dresses in the hotel rooms...that was later, I think...

@1 ---ESL from a former member of the Cambridge Debate Team you mean. it's called Rhetoric, and it was invented by the Greeks, who also invented hot greek action, greek salads and naked wrestling.

The Greeks also invented big, gay drama.

Dear Paul: While I understand that you're too cool to share in others' enthusiasm, I'm pretty sure she didn't mean we are all LITERALLY going to be inaugurated tomorrow. I mean, really. Just think of the logistics. It would be absurd.
