Historic vs. Historical

Am I the only one that has noticed these words being used inappropriately/improperly in the last year? Am I the only one who knows how to use these two words properly? Historic. Historical. Am I alone?

The swearing in of President Obama was historic.

The dress the First Lady wore last night will have historical significance once it has been donated to the Smithsonian.

It's fine. The cheese stands alone. Again.

I have spoken.
