The Inauguration: Missed Opportunities
January 18, 2009 in Our long national nightmare is over, Politics, Rants, Sports, The Future Is Here, The Past, Things Very Necessary
On this historic weekend, at this historic moment, we are all celebrating like the proud, crazy people we are. Rightly.
We have enjoyed wonderful symbolism and look forward to soaring rhetoric.
This moment, carefully calibrated to crescendo Tuesday at noon, is lacking something. Interviews? No. Video? Not so much. Coverage? Christ, no.
We’re missing music. Yes, there will be music at the Inauguration, but there is also an opportunity missed.
