From the Washington Post, by Howard Kurtz:
"No one seriously thinks that the Bush inaugural festivities, scheduled to transpire two weeks from today, are going to be called off.
But there's some chatter on the Web about it.The leading deep-six-the-parties voice is that of Mark Cuban, the fabulously wealthy Internet entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, who blogs in his spare time. He writes:
"It's up to President Bush to set an example.
"How about it Mr. President? Can you take the first step? I can help you figure out where to start. Start by canceling your inauguration parties and festivities.
"Could there be anything more confusing and shocking than to read that our country was offering $35mm in aid to the areas affected by the Tsunamis, but that the cost of inauguration parties would be about $40mm? Does anyone else think that this is wrong?"
