\"Trump_Inaugural_Logo.svg\"<\/a>Being unable to resist significant moments in history, I\u2019ll be watching the Inauguration ceremonies today and making comments here.<\/p>\n

Things get started at 9:30 a.m. ET, with the actual inauguration ceremony starting at about 11:30 a.m. ET. \u00a0The swearing in will be at noon, whereupon Donald Trump will give his inaugural address. \u00a0I\u2019ll be devoting most of my live-blogging to the speech. \u00a0Please join me with comments of your own.<\/p>\n

On Saturday from 10:00-11:00 a.m. will be the Interfaith Prayer Service at the National Pantheon, I mean, the National Cathedral. \u00a0I can\u2019t bear to watch that, but if you do, feel free to report on it by making a comment to this post.<\/p>\n

After the jump, a schedule of the day\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n
