My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.
And now the painful therapy begins. We've got the foreign wars this time too, as well as the painful and poisonous internal troubles Ford referred to.
We started watching on CSPAN, which features long periods of merciful silence, then switched to Jim Lehrer on PBS to get the IDs for the faces. I will need to bail in the middle for gym, so I'll likely miss Obama's speech live. I'm counting on teh intertubes to fill me in.
This was a totally pointless post, but I needed to note the occasion. I've watched two inaugurations in my life: Carter's and now Obama's. Carter seems to have been the only decent human being in the position in recent memory. I think we've got another one.
ETA: my favorite site evar.
