So much has been written about this Inauguration that I thought I'd take you on a little tour; there's not much I want to say beyond what's been said and said and said again, so I'm sharing the thoughts of others instead.
Tina Brown calls yesterday 9/11 in reverse. It's pretty interesting.
If you go to the Huffington Post today, the 21st, you'll see Inaugural magazine covers and front pages from around the globe.
Over at Talking Points Memo, Matt Cooper considers the "hawkish" nature of the Inaugural address, and its meaning. Politico's John Harris offers a more complete analysis of both style and substance.
Michael Tomasky at The Guardian thinks the speech was "prose, not poetry" for a reason. And American Prospect's Ezra Klein has a nice little set of observations from his seat in "the second row."
Atlantic columnist Marc Ambinder has noticed, as the day went on, that "even motorcades have changed" in the new administration. And BlogHer's Erin Kotecki Vest describes the logistical disasters that, huge as they were, failed to ruin the day.
Women's Voices for Change ran a live blog for contributors and members all day. It's posted in three parts.
If you know Mocha Momma you know that she mixes the irreverent and the sublime. Yesterday was no different.
The Women's Rights blog at Change.org features a moved, and moving, post from editor Jen Nedeau. and a French friend of mine described using my Inauguration post to teach her students. It's interesting.
So. This is a random survey. I'll be back tomorrow with some thoughts of my own.
I can always count on you to give me new links to follow! Can’t wait to read the one in reverse.
