Click through to see front pages from around the world trumpeting the Obama Inauguration

You may never have heard King’s famous I Have a Dream speech in its entirety (that’s a video link; if you prefer here is the text and audio). Or read his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Do both today to honor this day before we inaugurate our first black President.

My favorite quote from the letter:

Elections are magical events for revealing all of our filters. As I stayed up late last night marveling that at one point less than 400 votes separated Obama and McCain in Missouri with more than 3.5 million votes cast there, one of the conservative talking heads on CNN made the comment that by any historical standards this was not a landslide win (agreed) and certainly not a mandate for left wing liberal policies. I suspect this particular commenter viewed anything left of the far right of the republican party as falling into that liberal bucket.

I don’t know what to say. My family and some friends tried to tell me, tried to help me see. I guess it just took seeing all of this in one spot, so obviously true, to open my eyes. Unfortunately I’ve already sent that ballot in and this election is over for me. But there may still be time for some of you. Please, before you mark that ballot you must read this. I feel so abused. Thank you Jon Swift and damn you Katie Couric and the rest!!

I love Jessica Hagy’s stuff. But maybe McCain is right. Maybe we do need just one more politician in Washington to solve this big problem. Yeah, thats all we need…
