Obama says all are equal But no mention of gays in inaugural address
Warren speaks of justice for all
No mention of marriage, gays made during invocation
Annie's thoughts:
Josh worked a lot today (and is still working as I type this), hence the lack of blog posts on this incredibly historic day. Sorry. I should've warned you.
It was a cool day for me. Though I opted not to join the throng of people flooding the National Mall and instead watched the goings-on from the comfort of my couch, I still marked the changes ushered in today by doing two things I'd never done before: I made some homemade bread (not the "quick bread" variety but the real, yeast-based stuff) and I crocheted a slipcase for the netbook I'll be purchasing soon.
I also got to celebrate and watch the parade on TV at McGinty's, a favorite restaurant of mine near our apartment, with some good friends.
I am deeply moved by the events that happened today, and glad to have been a part of one of the celebrations associated with it. It was a proud and historic day for a nation that still struggles with the concept of "equal rights for all." I find myself hopeful and optimistic and deeply sympathetic toward our new president, who enters the office with astronomical expectations thrust upon him. I encourage you to read Bishop Gene Robinson's prayer, and hope that his petitions are granted over the next several years.

The time tamp on the 'Obama says all are equal' article has Jan 16th.
And by tamp I mean stamp.
Well spotted. I think the short updates -- what we call a "latest" -- were somehow roped into last week's upload and given that time stamp. I have no idea how it happened and no idea how to fix it. I'll have to pass this along to our web team. Thanks!
