Bring a Jacket

Attention billionaires traveling to Washington for Trump 's swearing-in: wear your Louis Vuitton long underwear! The inauguration has been moved inside to the US Capitol rotunda due to extreme cold predicted to hit the region.

An unrelated historical anecdote I find amusing: When Andrew Jackson was sworn in, he wanted to celebrate the average Joes and Janes who put him in office so he left a 1,400 wheel of cheese in the White House and threw open the doors on inauguration day. (it was given to him as a gift from a prosperous NY dairy farmer). As the story goes, hungry hillbillies and city folk alike sauntered through the mansion, devouring the wheel in 2 hours. They cut off chunks with their knives and left muddy bootprints all over the floors and furniture. They say it was the cheesiest day in White House history, aside from the time the Nixons invited the Carpenters to play there in 1973 (rimshot) Anyway, I always found that story interesting.

By the way, the Secret Service doesn’t let citizens wander around the White House with knives anymore. I’m pretty sure.
