I was home sick from school on two momentous occasions that I can recall. Once when Jimmy Carter was inaugurated and once when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated. No big deal you think, but it really was for 2 important reasons. First, I was a kid and didn't care and second, it was before cable. Ever stayed home sick when you were a kid and there was the exact same thing on all 3 channels and it was news coverage of politics?!Now, having said that, I am planning on catching some of the coverage of the inauguration tomorrow. I get the magnitude of it and I'm invested in it. I dare say it is exciting and I'm a bit caught up in the fever.
I do, however, draw the line when Oprah Winfrey is doing her show from the Kennedy Center and her top guests are Demi and Ashton introducing their new campaign to inspire us to pledge to make small changes that will have a large impact. Please excuse me if I'm not inspired by the Kutcher's. I've got two things to say..."Dude Where's My Car?" and "Striptease". Enough said.
I think Oprah's excitement has gotten the better of her.
