1. I can't imagine why I would want to know any of this information.

2. Lines up w the weather forecast

It is supposed to rain on his parade.

[Sogo]

4. I think the day's events are the celebration of the Army's 250th.

That's a reason to watch, but not the parade that begins at 6:30.

I don't know, however, how much of the day will have TSF in attendance and how much people will be fawning over his sorry ass throughout the Army's celebration....

I don't plan to watch any of it, but will silently honor our military heroes.
