Top 5 Inauguration Requests

After watching tons of live feeds and live coverage and live blogging and live almost anything you can think of about the Presidential Inauguration, I can only say a big "clap, clap, clap!" to the US for finally letting a non-cowboy inhabit the White House. It was way overdue.

Now, my atheist inner self is begging for me to ask what the hell was all that show with the reverends? The whole day felt like the anointment of a Feudal Lord with all those blessings and the Bible oath and all that jazz. Weird. (gave me the chills, really)

And last but not least, here is my list of Top 5 requests to Obama. They need to be addressed ASAP:

5. Kindly invite those Wall Street punks to Camp Guantanamo.
4. Trade in the 6 ton Cadillac limo for an electric car (I suppose you could get a magnetic bullet shield).
3. Promise not to say "God Bless America" ever again.
2. Tell Hillary to forever shut up with her "this one time, in the Oval Office" stories.
1. Give a TiVo subscription to Ted Kennedy so he can at least watch a replay of the Inauguration Parade.

We would like to inform you that senator Ted Kennedy has collapsed. However, President Obama had nothing to do with it.

Jajaja that CNN reporter should get fired!

But I loved how they jumped on this unique opportunity to use the word "collapsed":

"we've just been informed that there was a collapse, somebody collapsed, a senator collapsed, and we never get to use the word 'collapse' this often, so we inform you that a collapse just happened and we're still asking who collapsed because there has been a collapse. Yes, it's confirme now, somebody collapes, Senadot Ted Kennedy collapsed. Sources say he collapsed."
