28. In which I cleverly avoid mentioning the election.

I think we all know that today is a very historical day.

That’s right folks, this 28th post marks the four week anniversary of my daily-blogging-social-experiment. Which I find quite remarkable, because I didn’t think I’d stick with it so long.

In order to avoid mentioning the thing that I mentioned that I wouldn’t mention, I’m going to send you to a story written by username tangledweb on deviant art: Click!

Here’s a quick excerpt:

January 2009, Washington DC: The State of the Union Address

“My fellow Americans,”

Barack Obama briefly pauses, hands gripping the sides of a podium bearing the seal of the President of the United States of America.  He thoughtfully considers the expansive audience before him – the United States Congress, invited dignitaries, and dozens of cameras streaming live multimedia to hundreds of millions of viewers spanning the entire globe.  Fully cognizant of this historic moment, the new American leader looks over his shoulder to acknowledge Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.  Appearing to stifle a guffaw, Obama’s narrow shoulders begin to shake, eventually giving surrender and rearing his head back with raucous laughter.  He turns back to again face the broader audience, slouches to the side, and grabs the microphone in hand.

“GOTCHA!” Barack grins, pointing to the camera, “Man, I didn’t know how long I’d keep y’all peeps fooled.”  The president poses for the press corps, throws his arms up in the air, hands forming the letter ‘C.’  “I’m straight gangsta, from the Chicago hood.  Cut that ‘Hail to the Chief’ noise off, play something that’s got some bass to it.”

For the record, I didn’t write it. I just happened to come across it, and thought it was brilliant. It’s short, easy to read and fully worth the time.

So because I’m feeling far too lazy to write anything today, I’d much rather you follow the link and read the rest of this hugely entertaining prose.
