apparently ca stubbs has found his way on to the internets
That's a waste too. What was the battle of flowers anyway? Are lobbyists lining up there to access the mayor?Also, chumpdumper - how about all the people who get off work and school for the Battle of the Flower parade - that isn't anything but a party - how much does that cost the taxpayers of San Antonio?
Is it a paid holiday?
Isn't that an event put on by a nonprofit org?

IMHO, it must suck to be Bush and going to all these balls with the booze flowing freely and just dying to push his way to the open bar and grab a drink.
Of course the Bush twins will find their way to the open bar for sure!
"Let them eat cake..."
Why didn't the BCS cancel all Bowl games and send the money to Iraq?
Why didn't the Tournament of Roses committee cancel the parade and send the money to Iraq?
Why don't we just cancel all NBA games and send the revenue to Iraq?
You people are stupid...

Big shocker.
Wow, I wonder what the protests were like when Saddam was sworn in?!
See, the protesters had themselves a little party of their own!

I never brought up Iraq, I just don't remember these organizations being set up to buy access to elected officials.Why didn't the BCS cancel all Bowl games and send the money to Iraq?
Why didn't the Tournament of Roses committee cancel the parade and send the money to Iraq?
Why don't we just cancel all NBA games and send the revenue to Iraq?
Not sure who wrote these, because a few people are on my ignore list, and this quote was unattributed, but here goes:
Why didn't the BCS cancel all Bowl games and send the money to Iraq?
Because the BCS is not expected to fund the war in Iraq, the government is.
Why didn't the Tournament of Roses committee cancel the parade and send the money to Iraq?
Because the Tournament of Roses committee is not expected to fund the war in Iraq, the government is.
Why don't we just cancel all NBA games and send the revenue to Iraq?
Because the NBA is not expected to fund the war in Iraq, the government is.
The inauguration, while buoyed by some private $$$, is a government function, and uses tax dollars. I think a low key celebration was probably in order, and that today definitely smacked of Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
cliff clavin chimes in with his expert opinion
if kerry was the one being sworn in today then the roles of the forum meisters in this thread would have been reversed
Yonivore is one stupid idiot.
Pot meet kettle!
