Inauguration 2009 is just over a week away

 

 

For Federal Government events the Federal Government requires 1 porta-potty for every 300 estimated attendees.

For Private sector events the Federal government requires 1 porta-potty for every 75 estimated attendees.

Assuming that from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 people attend the inaugural event in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, January 20, then the inauguration event will require from 3,333 to 6,666 porta-potties using the Federal Government rule for a Federal Government sponsored event.

Using the Federal Government’s rule for Private events, the inauguration would require four times as many port-a-potties or from 13,333 to 26,666 port-a-potties.

Rumor has it that there will be only about 5,000 to 6,000 porta-potties spread around the Washington D.C. area.

With Universal Porta-Potty care, you must wait in line.

With Private Porta-Potty care, you just go when you need arises.

Then there are porta-potty phobias to deal with including:

• Operation Porta Potty
• A smell that traumatizes you, maybe even to the point of making it difficult for you to “go”.
• Inability to go when you know that other people are waiting.
• The feeling of being unclean after exiting a poo-poo hut.
• The depression that ensues when you see that thousands of people are using the potties without washing their hands afterwards.
• Long lines which make you agonize as you have to wait your turn.
• The fear of having your bicycle stolen while you’re inside.

So what’s a porta-potty shy person to do? Well, since you asked, here are a few tips. …

Porta Potty Tips Over While Guys Inside

President Kennedy closed the “missile gap”.

Will President Obama bailout the “porta-potty gap”?

Times are a changing.

Bob Dylan – The Times They Are A-Changing

Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.

Portable Toilet

“A portable toilet is a modern, portable, self-contained outhouse manufactured of molded plastic in a variety of colors and is often used as a temporary toilet for construction sites and large gatherings and events. Portable toilets are referred to colloquially or sold under such brands as port-a-john, job johnny, port-o-let, port-a-loo, sani-privy, port-a-san, porta-potty, tidy john, John To Go, toi-toi, J-Jon, shit–shack, and porta-kybo.

Portable toilets are large enough for a single occupant – usually about 90 cm (3 ft) on a side by 210 cm (7 ft). While the units are typically free standing structures, their stability is augmented by the weight of the waste tank, which usually contains a liquid disinfectant and deodorizer. Some include both a seated toilet and a urinal. Most include lockable doors, ventilation near the top, and a stovepipe vent for the holding tank. Leaving the toilet lid open will reverse the flow of the venting of the tank.

Some newer models include toilet paper or, occasionally, antibacterial hand gel dispensers. It has become common for portable toilets to be paired with a portable hand washing station. These stations provide a foot pump to dispense water to wash one’s hands after using the toilets. Soap and towels may be provided. …”

Glenn Beck: Port-O-Potty

“…The U.S. Park Service says the rule of thumb is one Porta-Potty — and this is going to make you feel really clean — one Porta-Potty for every 300 people, okay? So the way they’re kind of getting around the 5,000 Porta-Potties is their official estimates for the inauguration is 1.5 million. …”

“…If you want to, if you are a corporation or you just want to have a private party in D.C., you go through the department of, I think it’s parks and recreation. And there’s a convenient form online that you can go and fill out and along with your form which I think is $65 per 50 people, you will also have to send them a certificate showing that you have one Porta-Potty for every 75 people that are attending. …”

Missile Gap

“…The missile gap was the term used in the United States for the perceived disparity between the number and power of the weapons in the U.S.S.R. and U.S. ballistic missile arsenals during the Cold War. The gap only existed in exaggerated estimates made by the Gaither Committee in 1957 and United States Air Force (USAF). In the early 1960s, the CIA provided figures that were much lower and gave the US a clear advantage. Like the bomber gap of only a few years earlier, it is believed that the “gap” was known to be illusionary from the start, and was being used solely as a political tool, another example of policy by press release. …

“…Later evidence has emerged that one consequence of Kennedy pushing the false idea that America was behind the Soviets in a missile gap was that Soviet premier Nikita Kruschev and senior Soviet military figures began to believe that Kennedy was a dangerous extremist who, with the American military, was seeking to plant the idea of a Soviet first-strike capability to justify a pre-emptive American attack.^{[citation needed]} This belief about Kennedy as a militarist was reinforced in Soviet minds by the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961 and led to the Soviets placing nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962. (Kennedy was informed the missile gap was “a fiction” in January 1961.)^[4]

Warnings and calls to address imbalances between the fighting capabilities of two forces were not new, a “bomber gap” had exercised political concerns a few years previously. What was different about the missile gap was the fear that a distant country could strike without warning from far away with little damage to themselves. Concerns about missile gaps and similar fears, such as nuclear proliferation, continue, with most recently the aggressive missile testing between India and Pakistan. …”

Obama will eat Abe Lincoln’s food

By Michelle Malkin 

 

 

 

 

“…They’re going to party like it’s 1861!

In what will be a Lincoln-themed inauguration from top to bottom, Obama won’t only follow in the footsteps of the former president – he’ll also eat like him, it was announced yesterday.

Obama’s jampacked Abe-apalooza moved into high gear with an announcement from the Congressional Inaugural Committee that it will hold a luncheon next Tuesday following the swearing-in ceremony that’s modeled after foods Lincoln enjoyed.

The lunch menu is only the latest in a slew of references and tributes to Lincoln that will be folded into Obama’s big day.

Part of the meal will even be served on replicas of the china picked out by First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln at the beginning of her husband’s first term in office in 1861.

The appetizer will feature a seafood stew in puff pastry – including scallops, shrimp and lobster – in honor of Lincoln’s love of seafood.  …”
