Today is historic. We know. The "h" word has been uttered over and over again since Barack Obama first announced that he was running for the U.S. Presidency. Today's inauguration is a magical moment, a changing of the guard. But it also means that the nearly 2 years of political bickering, extremist ministers, and talking heads is OVER. So whether you wanted McCain to win or have been a passenger on the Obama wagon, you must celebrate the end of the 2008 election brouhaha. Take a shot for "No Mo Bush" or make a toast for the man with dope Presidential swag. Whatever you do, hit the streets tonight and celebrate with your fellow countrymen.
