Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Inauguration Madness Update: Just Don’t Use The Cherry Trees

by @ 7:08 am on December 11, 2008.

The latest Inauguration-related crisis is very, very delicate:

WASHINGTON – When you gotta go, you gotta go.

But will there be enough places to “go” on Inauguration Day?

Crowd estimates for Jan. 20 range between 1 and 5 million people.

Metro is planning to carry upwards of 1 million riders itself on Inauguration Day, but the transit agency says it will shut down all of its public restrooms due to security concerns.

Instead, 146 portable restrooms will be set up outside of selected rail stations.

Even if the transit agency carries 1 million people on Jan. 20 — and that could be a conservative estimate — that means there would be one bathroom for every 6,849 customers.

It’s gonna be a mess folks.
