Barack! Obama! Hooray!
Okay I never talk about poitics because I am zero funny when I do it and being funny is my job and sworn duty. But I'm excited, so I'm going to risk unfunniness and talk about it.
Besides, this isn't really about "politics" to me. This is about history. See? I told you it wasn't funny.
Very seriously, (and not funny) though, I am so excited and glad about Barack Obama's nomination for president. I feel like I've been holding my breath all year, hoping this would happen.
Look, I'm not going to get into it in detail. I just think that this is a very good man. I guess I believe him and I look at him and he looks untethered and honest to me. He actually seems like he's not all smelled up by the scum and ooze that covers even the best of them in Washington. But he also seems actually able to cope with people like that, to bring out the best in them.
Personally, I don't think that folks in Washington are bad people. I just think they are covered with a thick layer of deception, self and outward, and they are so twisted up, having worked so hard to justify the wrongs that they've done, that they don't have a clear path anymore from their hearts to the good in life. It must be miserable. I think a guy like Barack can actually help them. Give them an out from the trap they're living in.
I like Barack Obama. Just like the lady in this picture does. He's clearly a patient man. He's an inspiring man. I have high hope for him.
MCcain, by the way, in my view, is a good man also. I think this is going to be a great election. I really believe it. That's all. I'm excited. Oh, also he's black.

Well said. You're the funniest human alive, but you're good with the serious stuff too. The first time I heard of you, you were talking about race relations on NPR. You said something like, it might not be possible for white people to deliberately set out to befriend black people without being offensive, yet they should do it anyway. Then I think you said your daughter was an asshole.
I love him like the old lady, too.
Thanks for all the funny shit you ever said. The laughter has surely added years onto this life.
McCain is Caught between Barack and a hard place. But with McCain's VP pick, Barack is starting to look a little Palin.
