Barack and Roll!

Oh man.

After November of 2004 I promised myself I'd never do this again. Losing hurt too bad, and it hurt for months. It was worse than losing any kind of game -- it was losing something that mattered. "No more," I told myself. "Never get involved in that again."

And yet here I am, just a little more than two years later, getting up at 9:30 on a Saturday morning to watch a presidential announcement speech.

It's not just a creeping naivete, because I'm reminded every single day how ridiculous politics is. It must be a testament to Obama himself -- I think he's worth the risk.

On a related note, I don't know who this kid below is, but that is the greatest t-shirt ever.

Barack Obama is a politician that inspires a sense of hope in me rather than dread. There aren't many of those. That t-shirt is indeed awesome. It is available on a site called BarackShirts.com. I think I may have to order "Barack the Casbah".
