WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama is adding a "Neighborhood Ball" to the list of inaugural parties planned just over two weeks from now.
In announcing the plan Monday morning, Obama said in a statement that he doesn't want citizens of the District of Columbia or elsewhere to feel left out of the celebration surrounding his elevation to the presidency on Jan. 20.
Obama said he wanted to make sure that "we had an event that would be open to our new neighborhood here in Washington, D.C., and also neighborhoods across the country." The "Neighborhood Ball" will be held at the Washington Convention Center.
Officials said tickets for the event will be made available free or at an "affordable price" and that a portion of the tickets will be set aside for District of Columbia residents.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Here goes another tick upward in the D.C. crime statistics. That neighborhood needs a wrecking ball. Just like the ones he "organized" in Chicago. But what the heck, throw them a bone and maybe you'll stay in office longer. We're going to party like it's 1939.
