Over-the-top publicity stunt of the week No.2

Today's the day for King George's second coronation. No expense is, of course, spared in providing this event of GOP extravagence.

The whole obscene day can be followed on the web with video coverage on C-Span1, starting from 8am (midnight here in Sydney). On C-Span2 there will be coverage from 10.30am ET of a protest rally being conducted across town by ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), while C-Span3 is dredging archives for Presidential inauguration speeches of the past.

Another way to follow all the action on audio is through Pacifica Radio's 13 and a half hour coverage of the day's play from both sides of the fence. WBAI's website has the complete day's lineup, and they have a live audio stream in realaudio. KPFA Berkeley streams Pacifica's coverage in ogg vorbis, which is becoming my audio streaming format of choice.
