MSNBC is running a promo about the upcoming inauguration of BO. The overly dramatic t.v. spot claims, “Years from now, Americans will ask, ‘Where were you when Barack Obama was inaugurated?’”

I find this fascinating, to compare the inauguration of this con man to a world-shattering event that will go down in infamy.

People remember where they were when Pearl Harbor was bombed or when Roosevelt died or when Kennedy was killed or when the Challenger exploded or when Princess Diana died and or when the Twin Towers came down.

But no one remembers, save for the immediate family of the president himself, where they were during any one inauguration, unless of course they were actually at the inauguration.

While I find the notion that the details of BO’s inauguration are something that the world will sear into its collective brain, I do love the fact that it is being credited with the potential to have the same impact as an enormous world tragedy, which of course it is.

In ten or twenty years, do you think you will remember where you were and what you were doing on the day BO is crowned?

alright i had a dream when i was seeing a lot of red spots in the sky, and they were coming down. and one came down and a earthquake occurred but it felt like i was going in circles. Then there was a lot of them on the ground and they look like red balls, but some of them had buildings around them, like the twin towers, sears tower, empire state building, and some other ones. Then i woke up. [by the way i told one girl what they were called and she said they were called “the fugees”
