When I watched him speak at his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R9VcS-EF7T0\">first press conference<\/a> on Friday morning, I just beamed at the screen like, &#8220;He looks so&#8230;Presidential!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I watched Will Smith on Thursday&#8217;s Oprah and when she asked how he felt about Barack&#8217;s appointment, he said, simply, &#8220;There are no more excuses.&#8221; I mean, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">really.<\/span> This man climbed out of the trenches and worked and worked and worked his way to the top spot.

He makes me appreciate Queens just a little bit more.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, my brain is a tad bit tired right about now. I have a new rule &#8211; I will write (for work and fun) for six days and then, rest on the seventh. And since it&#8217;s after midnight, I&#8217;m technically cutting into my one vacation day.<\/p>\n<p>So, on that note, I&#8217;m out.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not really much of a drinker, but like many folks, I&#8217;ve been sipping on a gang of Obama Kool-Aid, for months now.
