Yesterday, Eric, the dairy owner, came in to check on how things were going w/ the milking and was talking about Libya. It didn't sound like he had heard the latest news (not all that surprising at 5 am) so I said, "Obama was shot". "What!" cried Eric. "Osama - Osama bin Laden was shot", I corrected. Thought I was really losing it but today, on one of the talk shows, there was a clip of various newscasters where each one made the exact same error. One poor lady did it 3 times in a row at at one point saying, "Obama himself gave the order to kill Obama if necessary". Must admit that I was laughing by the end of the clip. If they can make the mistake reading it from a teleprompter, I'm not going to worry about my little mental lapse.

I did the same thing myself at least once that day.
