Hotel rooms are averaging about $650 a night with a three night minimum stay.  Airfare is stupid money. It’s freakin’ cold. And Rick Warren (ugh) is delivering the invocation–though I suspect, or at least hope, that Obama is hip to the Very Scary Pastor and doesn’t actually LIKE him or buy into his anti-science, ant-gay, anti-rights agenda, that Warren is just there as a placating device, and he’ll be ignored once Obama takes office.

 But none of that–cost, cold nor the creepy evangelical–is stopping Will Smith and his family from attending the Obama-naug. Smith told reporters:

We’re definitely going. We’ll go there and just cry — probably two, three days in a row. Just lots of crying. We’ll probably cheer a lot, too.
