Talkin' Shit About A Pretty Sunset

I recently came across the 50 Facts You Might Not Know About Barack Obama and the first one states that "he collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics." I figured if any blogger would already know that fact, it would be my comic-book-loving friend Jeff, but when I IMed the info to him, I was pleased to have been the first to inform him --- a real honor. It made my day to get his reaction:

me: "Barack Obama collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics"

Jeff: where'd you see that?

me: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/article3401168.ece

Jeff: jesus

how cool is it

that the coolest person on earth

is the president of the US?

Yes, I know this is becoming a cult of personality, but this man is truly extraordinary. It may take another year for many Americans to realize what an incredible person we've elected as our leader. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's flawless, but I never thought we'd have a cool guy as president.

My personal favorite is that "his favourite book is Moby Dick by Herman Melville." Fuckin' A. Mine too. That's the only book that immediately after finishing the final page of the book, I turned back to page one and began reading it for a second time. Unbelievable.
