Came home from travelling to find the Mexican Parliament in chaos... lawmakers being taken to hospital after beating the shit out of each other.
Watching Calderon try to take the Presidency was like a sporting match, only with chairs instead of balls.
The midnight ceremony featured such highlights as outgoing President Fox dropping the ceremonial flag and tapping the microphone several times to test it, as though he were in a karaoke bar.
Calderon comes up to Fox's waist, and one of Fox's hands could crush Calderon's head... so all round it was like watching 'Twins'. I'm pretty sure Swarzenegger was actually there for the 9.30am formalities, but none of the visiting dignatories had time to take a seat before the 40 second ceremony was finished.
The swearing in was over before you could say "Who the f@#* threw that chair?"
