Distributed inaugurals
By David Weinberger, 01/06/2005 - 9:00am

The Republicans are continuing to use the Net to encourage local political action. At the Republican Party site you can sign up to host an inauguration party. So far, 31,457 people have done so. I wouldn't be shocked if, in addition to Pin the Tail Real Hard on the Donkey, fund raising were a suggested party activity.

You can also buy your branded Republican goods on the site: $2.95 for a Bush-Cheney "yard sign system" (it's a system because it comes with little wire posts) and items such as a GWB medallion or a Ronald Reagan t-shirt.

And counter-inaugurals

Seems that there's at least one counter-inaugural party, in Boston, and it is a fundraiser (shocking?) for DL21C.
