For those of us NOT addicted to OBAMAMANIA...

If you are like us and had to spend the entire day keeping your head low or your headphones on...

If you felt like the only outlet you had was to change your facebook status every five minutes to keep from yelling at your co-workers, (who were dancing with glee like it was Christmas morning)...

If you are wondering when the miracles that hope and change are supposed to bring will actually occur...

If you're looking for a place to commiserate with fellow NYC YRs about the new administration or to make bets on how long it will actually take Obama to close Gitmo...

Because you aren't likely to find this at any midtown bar tonight, we are initiating our first ever open thread today to provide a forum for you, NYC's Republicans to discuss your feelings about the ceremony (or how you refused to watch it), plot a strategy for 2010 (All hands on deck!), remember the highlights of the Bush years (Plenty of em')... SO GET TO COMMENTING!
