As I'm sure everybody already knows, Obama's inauguration ceremony was Tuesday. Contrary to popular belief, world peace is not yet achieved, world hunger still exists, and I still have to wipe my ass after I ****.

But thats not to say that nothing changed immediately. Obama's inauguration generated the greatest simultaneous viewing of a streamed event in history. CNN reported that 7,700,000 people viewed the ceremony its peak feature: Obama's speach, which lasted about 19 minutes.

Now lets think about this. The ceremony was on a weekday during work hours. Many viewers stopped working to view it. Those are productive hours that Obama is costing us. 7,700,000 people watching for 19 minutes (but you know they watched John Williams conduct Yo Yo Ma and Aretha Franklin mutilate a cherished song of patriotism) comes to 146,300,000 minutes. Thats 2438333.33 hours. The national wage average is $18.83. So overall, that is $45,913,816.67 in productive hours.

So thanks, Obama. You cost the American economy 46 million dollars in productivity during a major depression. I'm glad our nation is back on track.
