Nothing huge here, but while everyone is concentrating on the flub between Roberts and Obama involving the "faithful" phrase, did anyone notice that Obama said "44 Americans" had taken the oath before him?
I'm pretty sure that's wrong: it's only 42 before him, and he is #43. Yes, we've had 44 presidents now, but Grover Cleveland served non-consecutive terms, interrupted by B. Harrison. So he only counts as one "American." If he had said, "44 times now the oath has been administered to a president," it would be right.
Again, nothing earth shattering, but I don't know that anyone caught that.
No, they are doing more inaugural stuff. I’m probably on next week-—or we may postpone one more week and I can fly to NYC and be live in studio, then we can tape a bunch of segments.
LOL

You guys are too funny tonight. Just giddy after the inauguration of the exhumed one, I guess.
you know, if you cross your eyes while staring at those two photos and let them reset slowly, you see a middle image that looks three dimensional...
as a flub,it could have been worse
Obama is the 44th.
No. He’s the 44th PRESIDENT, but only the 43d AMERICAN. Cleveland served non-consecutive terms, and counts as only one AMERICAN.
I know-—but it’s written in the first line of the inaugural address that is to be “chiseled in granite.” LOL.
Ah yes, that waskally Grover!
Others say they saw both Clevelands together at Democratic fundraisers.
So people wouldn't get confused they called each other "22" and "24."
22 was always trying to get 24 blamed for what he did.
It's rumored that he had a later career as "William Howard Taft."
Read post 31. Pretty funny.
You need to be writing for comedy central. Pretty good.
That's right. Muslims before Jews. Jews have been here almost from the beginning, our culture is founded on Judeo-Christian values, Jews have contributed so much to America, and he mentions Muslims first.
Made me sick.
The primary reason you find that so funny is because you are giddy with excitement because of the Inauguration. It’s put everyone in a good mood.
Oh, absolutely, I know today is full of “hope” and “change.”
