48 hr notice of invitation

in the snailmail yesterday, a good 48 hrs prior to president "w"'s inauguration, my other/better half received a "commemorative" invitation to attend the ceremony itself... with the fine print indicating that he has not been invited to any of the "events" scheduled... beyond, i suppose, the main event... the swearing-into-office-again event...

now, it is a nice, well-printed invitation perhaps worthy of framing in someone's house; but, i found the date of its arrival rather odd and sort of silly...

48 hrs. to obtain time off from work, transportation, and child care is not realistic...

therefore, of course, he will not be attending the inauguration despite his "commemorative" invitation...
