Uneventful Inauguration Day

I feel as if I should post about the Un-Inauguration today, but it really felt like an un-event to me.  It barely made the news online, and that includes the top stories for Caracas, Venezuela.

Everyone has accepted that Chavez is still the president.  I think it doesn't seem worth making a fuss over, since he's going to be dead soon anyway.  It seems that the opposition are biding their time.  We saw some impressive (and very loud) jets flying over our hills, probably putting on a show for the international visitors and the many people rallying for Chavez.  It seems that loads of people gathered wearing red shirts, and inaugurated Chavez via themselves - because Chavez is the people.

Pretty slick, eh?
