It has been many moons since Puddin messed with this thing; he's been variously crippled and elevated, laid and laid low. He only really had two readers anyway and corresponds with both of them far more frequently. But anyway.

Bush got inaugurated today for a second term. He has opined that his reelection is a validation of his domestic and foreign policies, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

In Austin, various email forwards are requesting people to boycott consumerism today as a show of solidarity. One of Puddinhead's acquaintances asks, "Why hurt local business whose owners and employees probably voted for Kerry anyway?" Good point. One could stop buying gas, but it's not like Puddin drives anyway.

And, coincidentally, today I got sent something even more foul: this concept car design from Ford. Just look at it: are Ford's designers expecting the US to turn into a rioting Nairobi or Fallujah? The thing is designed to fend off attackers for hours at a time. It almost seems as if Ford itself is expecting a revolution, and it is out to arm the rich.
