    And then some....
    The Lincoln / Kennedy Connection - CoverUps.com

    Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
    John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

    Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
    John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

    The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
    Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
    Both wives lost children while living in the White House.

    Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
    Both Presidents were shot in the head.

    Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
    Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

    Both were assassinated by Southerners.
    Both were succeeded by Southerners.
    Both successors were named Johnson.

    Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
    Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

    John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
    Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

    Both assassins were known by their three names.
    Both names are comprised of fifteen letters.

    Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford's".
    Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln - made by Ford Motor Co".

    Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
    Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

    Both John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were assassinated before their trials.



    Ed: I guess this post would have a modicum more credibility if it didn't link to a site called coverups.com

    Many tickets have been going for astronomical prices online, even though they are given out for free by members of congress, prompting Senator Dianne Fienstien to introduce legislation making it a criminal offense to profit from the tickets.
    Senators have absolutely no idea about economics. If they can't distribute tickets correctly what makes them capable of allocating billions of dollars in stimulus money.

    Can't say i really understand the whole swearing in ceremony idea. It seems like a rock concert, they are going to be using 70,000 toilets for the huge crowds expected. To me it seems inappropriate, the President should be just like a public servant, not a king, not a rock star, not somebody who has won the lottery, rather if there is any ceremony surrounding an inauguration it should be to remind the new President of his reponsibilities, of his role as a servant of the people, it should be austere, formal and serious. Nowadays there is a sense that these elected leaders think they have won an entitlement of sorts - to dispense favors and grant boons to lesser flunkeys, that for two years they are in a kind of supermarket sweep, with freedom to sweep up what they want - when they should be thinking like a student who has studied for a decade and is about to enter his final exams and wants to save up all his best mental energy to do the best damn job he can based upon what the 'exam' requires of a candidate.
