Inauguration Day
From my friend LS —
I'll let the people who are much more excited than I am to write the long speeches. I'll just say that even if you didn't vote for him, this should be a pretty darn cool day in American history (although I understand if you'd prefer it were someone else).
This is for the many thousands gone.
What blessing do you say when you see [President] Barack Obama?

I would have gone for, ברק אתה יי...
Good point.
But the ק spelling would be wrong - it is the same root, and so a כ with a dogesh would be more appropriate.
Anyway.
yeah, we know, we also talked about how it "should" be ברכ or באראכ or בראכ or something; the humor potential there is just not as appealing, unless you've got an idea
I dunno, based on Berachos 58a, I might have to go with "meshane haberiyos."
deer:
only if it's actually unusual for you to see people of that phenotype
Reminds me of the Robin Williams quip, which I just used in my post-inaguration post:
"Barack, which means 'blessing'; Hussein - don't ask! - and Obama, which is an old Kenyan word for 'Kennedy'..."

You might find this extremely stupid post of interest.

You have not written in a while. Why not?
