Inauguration Day

 
Today is the day I have been waiting for. My excitement is not so much to see Obama in as it is to see King George out.
 
I am feeling a fatherly relief, as though I am finally getting my idiot son out from behind the wheel of the family car. Sure, it's a bit dinged up. Well ... massively damaged actually. But, it's in the driveway. Whew! The nightmare is over. Maybe.
 
"Please, son," I'm pleading. "Get out of the car. Give the nice man the keys."
 
I'm trying not to look too angry.
 
I'm hoping this Obama guy is an excellent mechanic.
 
I'm suspecting the family car will never be the same.
