I imagine one very sobering aspect of Obama's future responsibilities

[terrya]

is being briefed on "the football" and the whole aspect of his ultimate authority of our nuclear arsenal. That has to be a terrifying responsibility.

1. security briefing

:hi: :hug:

Or Soylent Green.

11. This is weirding me out.

I sense the hand of - gasp! - Rove.

7. Well, I feel much better with Obama having that responsibility than *Bush.

8. Wouldn't it suck if he had McRib sauce all over his fingers and it

caused him to accidently blow Ecuador off the earth?

Admittedly, it would suck for them more then for us, but it would still be REAL embarassing.

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Like Bill Hicks said - after the inaugaration, the 7 secret industrialists that run the country

take the new president into a little room, show him a film of the Kennedy assassination from an angle no one's ever seen before, and say, "Any questions?"

"Just what my agenda is."
