I should say the context of the speech was community service, so it really wasn't scary in context, but it was a boneheaded way of putting things. For every Obama gaff there is a conspiracy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I always save those, Jesse. They're good for two things: a pick me up when things are going badly, and for reference when filling out those stupid evaluation forms every damned year.
Oh yeah, I'm totally saving it! But I wish I could leverage it beyond my own mental state as I'm applying for new jobs, now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
That sounds like it would make the Woo Second Amendment I Love Guns! people happy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
To me, it sounds like it could mean anything. From a militia to Girl Scouts.

I'm not sure how the Girl Scouts could be just as powerful as the military. Unless they've all earned their Marksmanship and Heavy Artillery badges.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Frozen cookies can hurt, dude. And also very distract-y.

Dylan's Candy Bar also sells candy-flavored bath products at Sephora. WAY not my thing in terms of flavors, but adorable packaging.
IOWonderfulN, the CupcakeStop.com truck is currently RIGHT OUTSIDE MY OFFICE. So I bought a dozen mini cupcakes for my department. I feel a cupcake truck outside my office is a worthy cause and one I should donate to frequently.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Since the first step would be admitting to being an asshole, I fear there wouldn't be much in the way of voluntary rehab as asshole's often seem to be clueless about their own assholedom.
OUR first step would be "You've been sent to asshole rehab, now why in the hell do you think that is?"
They'd spend a good ten days bellowing at eachother over that while I roll around in cash like Scrooge McDuck.
Hey, I know my people.

Obama's "National Security Force" is a Glenn Beck rumor. A Bogeyman to scare the Right.
Makes me feel less bad about friending these guys on Facebook: [link]

Dylan's Candy Bar always looks better in pictures than irl to me. It's sort of... run down? And they need to have samples.

Feel better, kitty!
