Nice prediction, was probably written off as completely unrealistic back then. Only off about 4 years.

 

BBC World News America has unearthed a fascinating clip of Dr Martin Luther King speaking to the BBC's Bob McKenzie in 1964 in which Dr King predicts an African-American president "in less than 40 years."

Wow, nice find Mr. G.

 

I don't know why I'm subjecting myself to this torture tomorrow, but I'm doing it anyway.

probably for the MUSICAL ACTS

Well, I'm on my way to downtown DC folks. I'll be down there all day as my train doesn't leave until around 7 pm. Wish me luck.

Hope you have (had) a great time. Pretty cool to see Sox hats in the crowd.

I wish I was there.

A bittersweet day for me. Wound up canceling our plans to go to this a while back. Will instead be following a live feed at work. :/

Where's the best place to get a live feed on the net?

Not sure who's got the best feed but I'm using msnbc's. If someone knows of a better one let me know.

Just switched over to cnn and like it more.

The long shots of the massive crowds are breathtaking.

CSPAN so far. Then switching to CNN probably.

That's too bad, BS - I know you really wanted to go. You worked your ass off for what you believe in, which is more then a lot of us do. Enjoy your day.

 

Controversy in the House of Reps

 

No seats for spouses and family

They are lining up by seniority, not alphabetical

I'm at work (should be a poll option!), but I assume it will be running over the BB/Marketview screens here at the trader desks. I'll try to catch some of it here and there.

I'm trying to find a live stream somewhere that actually works.

 

MSNBC is still loading for me, that might be my best shot.

Well at least we got to go to the victory rally on election night. That was pretty awesome.

There 's an Inauguration pretty much every 8 years-this just hyped beyond belief

There 's an Inauguration pretty much every 8 years-this just hyped beyond belief

This is one case where I am glad to see the hype. Presidential inaugurations, as well as elections, SHOULD be a big deal. All the other garbage we see hyped in the media, like "reality" TV shows and assorted other useless matters, are secondary. This is a big deal, and should be.

There's 162 White Sox games every year. Why spend so much time on a message board focusing on them?

Chirs Matthews was talking about what Chris Dodd was wearing. I thought that was rather useless. I'd be willing to bet not many people are intrested in Chris Dodd's fashion sense.

DHS releases a statement about a potential security threat at the inauguration. Very little detail.

 

I just heard that the inauguration is anticipated to surpass the final episode of M*A*S*H as the most watched television event in the US, and should also break all world records as well.

 

Hype? There is a whole lot of substance behind the hype.

Cnn projects this event to be the most watched television event in history.

WBEZ stream. Our internet connection is work is way too slow for streaming video.
