Where's my flying car?
Jan. 21st, 2009 11:53 amHere's what I think about the inauguration: You know all those movies, usually vaguely crappy sci-fi/natural disaster movies, set somewhere in the indeterminate future? Like Independence Day and Deep Impact and stuff. Well,
sixth_light and I realised some time ago (because we watched a lot of aforementioned vaguely crappy SF movies) that the President was always black. It's like it was a rule: In The Indeterminate Future, the President will be African-American. Putting This In Our Movie Makes Us Seem Liberal, Right?
So anyway. Welcome to the future, y'all.

Of course for somebody whose religion was outside those that are widespread, that might not hold true. For instance, a satanist.
