Obama Inauguration Declared a National Emergency

LOL. I actually did chuckle when I first saw the link to this New York Times story posted on twitter. The "emergency" as such, is that additional funds are required to deal with the extraordinary crowds that are expected to show up for this historical event (and whether you're an Obama supporter or not, this is a historical event). The ironic point here, is that those who haven't and don't support Obama (apparently a minority of the world's population), probably see this as an "emergency" of a different type.
