dc has a hard enough time keeping their local degenerates in check. it's going to be fun watching all the degenerates that show up for the inauguration destroy the city and each other. another great decision handed down from washington dc.

This is a really terrific idea. Only good things happen from 2-5am. I know this, living in a city where the bars are open until 4am. I take advantage of it, for sure. However, having this many parishioners of the Church of the Big O pumped full of beer until 5am could lead to a whole lot of change. Cars previously not on fire will be changed. Houses not broken into will be changed. Streets not driven on completely wasted will be changed. I cannot wait to see the change that comes to DC. I will do so from the relative safety and security of NYC.

Maybe they can change the license plates to "Public Urination Without Representation."

What a great idea. The country is on the brink of economic chaos and our aristocratic rulers choose to party. So this is the change we need?

Even more shocking about this article is that the ONE dissenting voice in the DC gov. was a Dem. Apparently one of the only ones left with sense. I'm sure that the block parties that will be going on in the Anacostia/Southeast areas will spill over into the bar & good time strips in other parts of the city. This will be yet another attempt at wealth redistribution, without the IRS enforcing it. When these revelers stumble out of the bars in their fogs of booze, coke, & whatever all else they've consumed, their remaining wealth will be forcefully redistributed, at gunpoint, to whatever thug trashball is robbing them. Hailing from Memphis, TN, I can speak with certainty as to the popularity of the last call criminal "primetime". I myself have been robbed, at gupoint, leaving Beale Street after last call, as have a number of my friends. This was even AFTER the police presence was beefed up that particular summer due to 5 shootings on Beale Street itsself! For those of you who have ever been there, you know it's like a mini Bourbon St. My point is twofold. One being that no matter how many cops there are, the later last call is, the more likely there is to be violent crime. Second, Memphis, when it comes to per capita murder rate, lags only behind Detroit & is followed by DC in the rankings. What part of that rosy picture sounds conducive to luring more bar patrons out for a later last call? Memphis has a 3 am last call, & the bars on Beale have noticed a dropoff in their buisness due to all of the crimes taking place around that area. Go ahead, DC. Maybe in that one week of 5am last calls, yall can overtake my hometown in per capita murder rate this year.

The more Obamatinis (Obamatini.com) they sell in DC, the better the local economy!

Oh boy, the Potomac will be running red for sure.Look at it as a way to thin the herd and get back at a few Obama supporters. Every cloud has a silver lining...

Most of the action and excitement during Obama's inaguration week will be in the mostly white, liberal strongholds in DC like Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, and Georgetown. Lots of college kids. Lots of booze. Lots of hot young ladies. Lots of out-of-towners. Lots of hooking-up with random strangers, just like the craziness I experienced during Obama's election night on Nov 4th, in Georgetown. Except this time, it's going to be all week. And it's going to be great. OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Great! The D.C. Council wants everybody to get all liquored up for the inauguration. Should be interesting.

What charades! Obama hasn't even proven his eligibility to be president by showing us his birth certificate(not the forgery on his website without a hospital name!) and he's whisked down the presidential corridor. Sign a petition and have it delivered to the Supreme Court to make Obama accountable to our Constitution-it is our Rule of Law! Sign by tomorrow, Thursday afternoon (12:00 p.m.ET) to get overnight delivery at www.worldnetdaily.com. Over 31,000 people have already signed. Obama is not above the law and still remains fraudulent until he satisfies the Constitution's requirement to be a natural born citizen. Mum is his word, wonder why?
