All of these speeches about what Obama is going to do are reminding me of the South Park song about Brian Boitano.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

I liked the line about impressing the world with the power of our example rather than the example of our power.
I agree quester.

Man, I know it is standard, there's historical precedent, it is politically suicide not to, and I know I'm in the minority, but I am really tired of politicians godblessing me and my country.
I'm fine with individuals (friends or even strangers when we find ourselves interacting) godblessing me. I appreciate the sentiment that prompts it, though I might not share the faith. But otherwise? Meh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I liked the line about impressing the world with the power of our example rather than the example of our power. I'm not sure it's original but it's good.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Also, in completely shallow observation: Chelsea turned out to be a gorgeous young woman.
Never underestimate the power of the straightening iron and some plastic surgery.

OK John Kerry is actually scoring points!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
On the other hand, Kerry gets points for the "finish the debate with yourself" line, but I will never believe him saying "Are you kidding me?!" or anything else with an interrobang.
eta: ha! x-post on the scoring points!

Did she go under the knife? I did not know that. What'd she have done? It worked out well for her.
I watched a whole infomercial about a fabulous new straightening iron last night. It was fascinating, though a waste of time, considering I have stick straight hair. Still, it was like magic!
