Jeans and Diamonds: Coronation Texas Style

Historically, presidents have decided to tone down their inauguration celebrations during times of war. Not this one. Instead, Bush & Co. want the DC residents to front the inauguration costs. Furthermore, they are also requiring the city to close most of its downtown metro stops, and roads as security measures. To avoid the complete meltdown of the city they have to give federal employees half the day off on the 19th and a full day off on the 20th. I guess, they are doing all that to afford the beautiful gowns the first lady, and the twins. Jenna will wear an emerald green dress and Barbara an aquamarine one. If we want to rise to the occasion we should have a jeans and diamonds party Texas style. I guess that is why the protestors' access to the inauguration is limited... They won't be that all that stylish next the beautiful gowns...
