News CL's Obama inauguration live blog
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Tomorrow, CL staffers will hunker down in front of TVs and laptops to witness and participate in a historic moment in our nation's history — Rick Warren leading a large crowd of people in prayer. No wait, I mean, we'll be liveblogging the inauguration of Barack Obama, the nation's first African-American president!
If you're stuck at work or sitting at home and looking for a place to comment, make snide remarks, celebrate, or even commiserate, this is it. We go live at 10:45 a.m. and plan to type until we're so full of hope and change we're inspired to become decent, law-abiding citizens. We'll have polls, funny photos of large men on mopeds, and maybe even some special guests. (Vernon Jones, call us back!)
It's been a long eight years. And the next four — hopefully eight? — will be tough. But regardless of your politics, it'll be a ceremony you won't want to say you missed.
