Because Hope just walked into a shitstorm. I’m glad Springsteen, Bono, Hanks and the rest of Hollywood all got their wishes. But more than celebrations, costly security, even more costly inaugural balls or sodas brandjacking the emotion and historical significance of the moment, the country has a lot of problems that will still be there after the confetti is cleaned up. Your feelings about Bush notwithstanding, you can boil this down to the same elation you feel when your team fires the coach or quarterback you blamed for several seasons of losing. Well, new coach is here, hopeful for next season. So are we. Way things have been, I’ll take 8-8.
