    When Barry can make those same salient points in Lolcat speak, then I'll be impressed.

    The most interesting thing is "BREAKING THE WAR MENTALITY" could have also been the title of Obama's anti-Iraq war speech in Chicago in the fall of 2002 -- the speech that catapulted his Presidential campaign.

    Tried to get to the mortality statistics of that Guatemala conflict, but I couldn't get through all those paragraphs about anal sex and cocaine.

    @Baroness: The paragraphs on the precise calculations for reparations for all the descendants of slaves are somewhat of a challenging read as well.

    Can't you just picture him, sitting at his IBM Selectric with a bottle of Liquid Paper and a well-thumbed thesaurus? Fifty bucks says he had a copy of Desiderata taped up on the wall.

    I couldn't get through the damn thing. Jesus, how did he go from that to editor of the Harvard Law Review?


    That wasn't the only embarrassing thing to come out of Obama's past today, though:

    How did these things not come up during the campaign?

    @jeanbeeen: Supporting same sex marriage is not embarrassing at all. It's the right position on the issue. The truly embarrassing thing is that he doesn't support same sex marriage anymore.

    @Lysergic Asset:


    At the time that was kind of a daring proposition.


    There was the "I'm OK, You're OK" climate, which has since morphed to "I'm OK, You're Not".


    (I am of the "Neither one of is OK, now what?" school.)

    Legalize it and i will advertise it


    Some call it tampee

    Some call it the weed

    Some call it Marijuana

    Some of them call it Ganja


    Legalize it - don't criticize it

    Legalize it and i will advertise it


    Singer smoke it

    And players of instruments too

    Legalize it, yeah, yeah

    That's the best thing you can do

    Doctors smoke it

    Nurses smoke it

    Judges smoke it

    Even the lawyers too


    Legalize it - don't criticize it

    Legalize it and i will advertise it


    It's good for the flu

    It's good for asthma

    Good for tuberculosis

    Even umara composis


    Legalize it - don't criticize it

    Legalize it and i will advertise it


    Bird eat it

    And they leave it

    Fowls eat it

    Goats love to play with it
