One of the nice things about being in Washington during one of these events is that you get drawn in even when you're actively seeking to avoid the whole thing on the grounds that it's just a big annoying hassle. Last night, several of us were treated to an indoor view from our offices of the brief fireworks display at the White House after the pre-inauguration "Celebration of Freedom." Hey, it beat having to stand outside and listen to the Gatlin Brothers before seeing the show.
