The Onion on the inauguration

Favorite Onion headline re: inauguration...
"Hillary Clinton Mouthing Along to Presidential Oath"
It's funny because I can imagine SNL doing a skit on this! Where's Amy Poehler when you need her?

Filling the news cycle

As of 12:56 AM (Pacific Time), the number one most viewed article on The Guardian in the past 24 hours is on the boy, I mean, the man behind Obama's inauguration speech, ("Obama inauguration: Words of history...crafted by 27-year-old in Starbucks") Jon Favreau.

I suspect the media will begin to stop discussing every detail of the inauguration (with the exception of the fashion choices made by the First Lady) in less than 24 hours. The President will start taking action soon and make some importance announcements which will fill the gosh-awful, never-ending news cycle.
