Holy fuck. It’s happening. In two hours, Barack Obama will officially be the President of the United States. They’re expecting around 2 million people to show up on the Washington Mall to witness the inauguration.

A proper liveblog would be unfeasible; liveblogs rely on snark to succeed, and I just can’t imagine a scenario in which I’d want to make fun of this occasion, Rick Warren notwithstanding. However, I will be making posts throughout the day. Horatio is stranded without a computer or TV at the moment, but he can jump in once that has been remedied.

Hopefully, the speech will be good, and CNN won’t go fucking it up with their little “hologram” machine.
