- Rick Warren's Inauguration Prayer here.
- Kathryn Jean Lopez said, "Wouldn't it have been something if more of the VIPs and those gathered on the Mall had joined Rick Warren in praying "Our Father..."? Among other things, it would have made me more comfortable with the spontaneous "Obama" chants I've been hearing all morning."
- Obama's Inaugural speech here.
- Jay Nordlinger offers inaugural reactions including listing things not to his liking. Worth reading.
- Terry Teachout on the musical composition and poem: "neither was any good at all."
- Update 1/21/09 - It's perhaps significant that only Fox News carried President George W. Bush's homecoming to Midland, Texas. I saw most of Bush's speech. It was memorable and well worth watching. Too bad networks and other cable outlets didn't think the same.
