For ongoing coverage of the US attacks on Pakistan, consider Common Dreams

Posted on January 24, 2009 by iwilder

Common Dreams is an excellent, progressive new source. While they sometimes lean towards duopoly politics, they have occasionally written about and published greens. At a time of impending war, Common Dreams is a good source for news with a progressive and international perspective. They have already started excellent coverage of the situation in Pakistan. One […]

President Obama and US strike in Pakistan…

Posted on January 24, 2009 by iwilder

Thank goodness I did not vote for Obama. I feel sorry for all the people who thought he was a peace candidate. Down to the teenagers at the Huntington Fall Festival wearing the name Obama and peace signs on their t-shirts… (The Washington Post actually wrote the article in a way that questions if President […]

Inauguration Evening: Michelle Obama’s gown

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

KW: The news event that many of us have been waiting for: What did Michelle Obama wear to the inauguration balls? She wore white. Which is sweet, like a young bride. And, the AP describes her gown in this way: “…a white chiffon one-shoulder gown… “Her full-skirted dress had a strap across her right shoulder, […]

Inauguration: Ending Prayer/Benediction by Reverend Joseph Lowery

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

Live blogging of the Inauguration by Kimberly Wilder (one green’s perspective): Joseph E. Lowery did the ending prayer/benediction. Reverend Lowery was inspired and entertaining. [Here is a link to the Joseph E. Lowery Institute for Justice & Human Rights.] He spoke of “inclusion, not exclusion” and “tolerance, not intolerance.” This seemed like a hidden message […]

Barack Obama sworn in…

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

Barack Obama was sworn in by John G. Roberts, Jr., Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Both the justice and Barack Obama used his whole middle name, “Barack Hussein Obama.” I am glad for that. It was rumored he might shorten it to “H” because of the controversy of his middle name being […]

VP Biden sworn in/Aretha Franklin sings…

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

So, technically, Joe Biden is the VP of George Bush, Sr.? Just for this moment? ;) Aretha Franklin was wonderful. I think by her repeating and intoning, she wanted to give the blessing and emphasize “Protect” and “Let freedom ring.” She wore a beautiful an unique hat, exactly what should have been worn by the […]

Reverend Rick Warren introduced and makes invocation…

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

When Diane Feinstein introduces Rick Warren there is tepid applause and an awkward sense of silence.

Inauguration Day: Alice Walker and Amy Goodman comment on Democracy Now!

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

Okay, I think I am somewhat grassroots to have been watching the events on C-Span, which is an organization that the government caused the cable companies to set up to “give back” to Americans by providing coverage of government meetings, etc. Though, I guess the most progressive place to watch is on “Democracy Now” on […]

Inauguration Watch: The embarkment of the motorcade

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

More live blogging from one green’s perspective: KW: Can’t help but notice the beautiful and imposing tree on the White House lawn, that watches over the sleek, black limos and their flashing lights. Interesting how the characters went over two-by-two with their counterparts. Lynne Cheney seemed to be exuding friendship and that kind of cozy, […]

The Bidens

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

The Bidens have gone into the White House. Mrs. Biden has on a bright, crimson coat. She also has on shiny, high boots. They look a little wild for a Vice President’s wife. But, suppose she gets more leighway than the First Lady. Mrs. Bush welcomed them. Hmmm….I did not see George Bush…but it is […]

First sign of demonstrators: No abortion!

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

As the Obama’s leave church and get into the car, some people – some loud men – can be heard chanting: “No abortion. No killing babies.” (Wonder if those men are also against the war and the death penalty?) Even though I believe in a woman’s right to choose, I think it is funny that […]

Should greens have done anything different to prepare for the Inauguration?

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

Should there have been a big peace protest at this Inauguration? I am someone who went to the first George Bush Inauguration to speak out against the stolen election and stand up for peace and democracy. (I remember our joy as we chanted “Hail to the Thief” all day, and then it hailed!) As a […]

C-Span announces: National Mall reaches capacity and is closed

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

C-Span coverage and live video: here. It’s Inauguration Day at 9:17am. The National Mall has reached capacity and is closed. Based on the estimate of how much it holds, C-Span thinks that is a record turnout. Looking forward to crowd estimates. Looking at crowd scenes on C-Span, I do not see any demonstrators. I imagine […]

Inaugural Schedule

Posted on January 20, 2009 by iwilder

from MTV.com Barack Obama’s Inauguration Schedule By Jem Aswad It’s an event that Washington, D.C., sees every four years — but it’s never seen an inauguration like this one. The entire city is practically under lockdown in preparation for Barack Obama’s historic inauguration on Tuesday. While exact figures are uncertain, CNN reports that 1 million […]
