FYI, don't expect inaugurations (or the accompanying parties) to end anytime soon. See, those wonderful new laws that restrict donations to politicians and parties have this little loophole...you can give as much as you want to the inauguration committies.
Basically, there's federal money for the actual swearing in, which is handled by the government. But those gala balls, are all paid for by people who'd like the ear of the president, or a senator or congressman or two. And if Haliburtion ponys up a couple of million to the inaugural commitee to pay for an event, you can be damn sure the people they paid to see are going to show.
