Speaking of Fresh Starts...
This post isn't going to be much and I'll have a much more interesting one coming in a day or two, but after watching the inauguration yesterday, something struck my fancy, so I am deciding to post about it...
So as we all know, history was made yesterday. At 12:05pm, Barack Obama was sworn in as the first colored President of the United States. There's nothing for me to say about it that probably hasn't been said before. This post really isn't about Barack...excuse me...President Obama exactly, but about his sidekick, Vice President Joe Biden. Something I find interesting is that President Obama was scheduled to be sworn in at 12:00, not 12:05. Therefore, for that brief five minutes Obama was late being sworn in, wouldn't that make Joe Biden the President?? Not that it's some HUGE dilemma, but I just found it rather interesting. Maybe I'm just way over-analyzing this minute detail, but I felt it needed to be pointed out. My roommate and I were discussing it and we let our imaginations go WILD. We imagined a book or even better yet, a movie being made about how the United States would be taken under siege during that five minutes, and what else could we do but let Joe Biden take the helm. Could prove to be a best-seller...I'll get on that right now.
Anyway, that's all my mind has to offer at this time. Tune in within the next few days and you'll get a real post...a post with substance...a post about Ball State; and how it's growing and getting a face lift. Until then...*salutes*...God Bless America.
