Inauguration

Well, regardless of your political affiliation, most people who know me are aware of the fact that I am a big fan of President Bush. I had the chance to serve as the Director of Evangelical Outreach for the Bush campaign during the 2004 election and enjoyed the experience (all except for the parts that I didn't enjoy).

Tomorrow, my wife and I head to D.C. to celebrate the President's inauguration to his second term. We will be attending one of the inaugural balls and our spot is reserved for the parade.

If you have a message that you would like me to pass on to the President when we meet him at the ball, please post it here and I will do my best to pass it on to him. But be thoughtful about your message. I don't want to say anything silly to my former boss.

Let me suggest several things not to say to him.

1. So, will you be dancing with Ricky Martin again like you did four years ago at this thing?
2. Is it me, or did your Secret Service agent just drop his badge in the shrimp platter?
3. Which of the foods at this dinner give you gas? I keep a historical log of foods that upset Presidential stomachs. Did you know that McKinley was allergic to peppercorns?
4. Rumor has it that you'll be creating a new cabinet post and nominating John Stange as "Secretary of Blog."
5. Mr. President, after sharing this 5 minute conversation with you, I have one final question.... would you care for a mint?
