Complete Envy time...My good friend got tickets to the inauguration
I just called my political buddy who has been more active than me recently. We met at a 2003 meetup and were active together in the 2004 campaign. I hadn't talked to her for a month and I just found out that she got tickets from our Congressmember. To add to my envy today, I hired a man to do take care of a longstanding ant problem (it's N. Cal.--environmentally friendly control) and his daughter got tickets. What's nice is that neither are big donors but activists.

Add to my envy today, who else is going?

1. Get this -
A friend of mines parents had friends that paid $300,000. That gets you four tickets to every special inaugural event on the schedule, along with seats to the swearing-in and parade.

Two of those tickets THEY GAVE AWAY - to my friends parents. They're not even political. Talk about envy.

2. That's amazing that anyone has enough to pay $300,000 in this
economy. Wow.
