Reflections on Reverend Lowery and embracing what is right…

Posted on January 25, 2009 by iwilder

On inauguration day, I happened to be off work, and I decided to live blog. I created a dozen or so posts on everything from political fashion (a new interest of mine), to a tree on the white house lawn, to the speeches and prayers being said. I was shocked when one of my short […]

Posted on January 24, 2009 by iwilder

Some non-violent revenge on Bernie Madoff

Posted on January 22, 2009 by iwilder

Bernie Madoff did something very wrong. He stole resources from people. He stole resources from charities and foundations that affect people in need. Though, he is now out on bail, living in his fancy apartment in New York City. What should a peace activist, who believes in non-violence, wish for Bernie Madoff? Perhaps, a fair […]

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.

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.
