I wanna be a Sunday school teacher for Obama Youth

Since Obama became President, my brain cells are suddenly activated. Now I can be a good father, or plant some trees, stop giving the finger, flush the toilet after taking a piss, or maybe even turn off my lights.

A friend of mine makes a good point: "I am a vigorous Obama supporter; I campaigned for him, I knocked doors for the campaign and I was elated to see him inaugurated today.

This goes too far. I will not pledge to serve any President. The iconography and glorification of him smacks of personality cult and loses sight of the fact that political progress was supposed to be about being a responsible citizen of the world and wanting to do right by each other, not to glorify or server our leaders. They serve US, not the other way around." 

James Bryant: "I would like to retire in the Philipines one day."

Ryan: "Well, you gonna need a job first."

Reality is under our feet
And the feet of the blind
Hope, to some people
It is for the naively optimistic
For some others
Hope is all they have
