So, it’s finally here. In just a few hours, we’ll be rid of the Bush Administration. This really is a special day for this country. A day I never thought would happen in my lifetime. It’s a shame he had to inherit a nation in such horrible condition, but all you have to do is listen to him to know he’s the smartest guy in the room, and if anybody can lift this country up, I think he’s the right man at the right time. I hope so, anyway. He’ll do things I won’t agree with (already has, actually), but, for today at least, let’s all just enjoy being witness to history, and let ourselves be filled with (dare I say it?) the Audacity of Hope.

For those who won’t be able to watch on teevee, but can get to a computer, I’ve put up a page with the Hulu live stream of the events (also linked over there on the right, under “Pages”). Things get rolling at 10 AM EST.
