Watch Parties

.
Where will you be watching the Inauguration? For some, it'll be the local Starbucks. MSNBC and Starbucks are announcing a viewing partnership, and that's just one of many ways you can watch the events.

Savvy cross-marketing for a network that suffers from far fewer media outlets than CNN and Foney News and the resultant crippling of its ratings potential.

Meanwhile, schools are asking--and getting--permission from CNN to carry their coverage. There's talk of big-screen theatre events, also by MSNBC.

Oh, a few scolds remain, but they sound so whiny 20th Century with their partisan talking points right now. Coulter, Ingraham, Beck, Hannity... I'm sick of your schtick....

And schtick it is. Maybe Mickey Rourke can play the movie version.
