Does Porta Potty boom signal a bottom?

America's political elite, having elevated the presidential election to the realm of national orgasm, is now on the verge of making Tuesday's inauguration an epochal day for Porta Potties.

They're setting a standard in Washington for the number of Porta Potties deployed. An estimated 5,000 units will be on the Mall and along the parade route.

Organizers of future inaugurations will measure their performance, in part, by comparing their own deployment to the number of Porta Potties available for action on Jan. 20, 2009.

Is the Porta Pottie boom a leading indicator that America's misfortunes are approaching a bottom?

That's not the way to bet.
