Just curious if anyone besides myself decided to not bother watching today and has no plans on watching?

Thanks

It is entertainment.

Some will have no time for it.

I paid as much attention to the inauguration as obama's record...





i'll pay attention to him when he has to actually make a decision/stand--instead of acting like a little robot that says "hope" or "change" when his puppet masters pull the string on his back

I wouldn't have watched it if i were at work, but since I was hope and just putzing around before going grocery shopping / running errands, I had it turned on.

Watched it on the treadmill at the gym.

Funny thing, at the gym the machines need to move in order for the audio to work, almost every machine was in use. :laugh:

Well, I don't see how you could NOT watch it, unless you missed the news local national fox whatever it seemed EVERYTHING took a break and streamed, printed and broadcasted it.

But don't worry OP, unless you want to crawl under a rock or tune out from society for entire week your gonna see it.


Good Luck NOT watching it. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if we see this crap being broadcasted for the next month!

I did not watch live. I DVR'd it, watched the cliffs, fast forwarded through the rest.

To reply "yes" to this message, one would almost have to be proactively apathetic. I think that's pretty amusing...

I didn't bother watching any of it today, though I was at work for most of the day.

Waay too busy at work to bother... Just a big, expensive show... Waste of money that could be better spent...

Fortunately people can spend their money as they wish; not as you command. ;)

Of course not. I'm very happy that they won't be talking about it 24/7 anymore though. Very annoying. HEY GUYS, DID YOU HEAR THE NEW PRES. IS COMING ON THE 20TH!? Yeah, no kidding? Try reporting news instead of wasting my time

That was true before noon today, anyway.

Too bad you missed it; he was calling for sacrifice and national unity.

Last time I calculated, 63% of my income ends up in a tax coffer of one type or another. Isn't that enough?

we should post a poll - how many right-wingers wore diapers while watching the inauguration. going by the posts in the forum, a good number of them shat themselves then proceeded to post some.

Nope; you still spend too much on stupid shit you don't really want or need. ;)

I'd like to see that calculation.
