Aw. How sad.
Visitors to Washington often are unaccustomed to achingly cold inaugural weather, particularly if they’re from warmer climes, as is the case for many this year. A number of this year’s visitors are Texans, many of them hatless, unlayered and clueless when it comes to dressing for the cold.
Luckily, all the good kinds of Texans are not coming to this coronation, so let’s hope the cold results in some kind of thinning of the herd among the ones that are here partying while Rome burns.
It occurs to me that there seems to be a correlation between how cold a state gets and how liberal it is. I suppose that when you’re huddling together for warmth, you’re not concerned about giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy, siding with corporations over ordinary citizens, and treating certain segments of the population as dirt. Conversely, perhaps the heat in those red states make people hate each other, plot ways to gain absolute power, and just generally behave like an ass.
