I said I would steal these images from the Current Events Inaugural thread--and I have!  ;D





Metro fare cards have a new look for the big day.





A life-size cardboard cut out of the president-elect is on display at Political Americana,
a Washington tourist shop.






The Ann Hand store in Georgetown sells themed jewelry.





Inaugural treats will vary by taste, like special confections from Georgetown Cupcake.

(P.S. by JG: I bet artist Wayne Thiebaud would be proud!!  :laugh:)

MLK
Obamicon.me/Paste Magazine,
This picture was created using Paste Magazine's
"Obamicon.me" image generator,
which was inspired by
Shepard Fairey's famous Obama poster.

Are we there yet, Martin?
MLK helped pave the road to the White House for Obama, but it will take more than Tuesday's inauguration to fulfill King's dream.
