"When a [Westin Excelsior hotel] bartender was asked how things were going, his face dropped nearly to the floor in a neo-realist expression of gloom." [NYT]
· JetBlue Back to LAX?: A B6 employee asks the question. We await the answer, after the LCC announced, then canceled, service to the LA airport in 2008. [Twitter]
· Obama's Inauguration Declared an Emergency: President Bush has declared a state of emergency in DC for the inauguration, but it's not as sinister as it sounds: The announcement frees up federal funds to help pay for the mega-party. [WaPo]
