My hypothesis that Barack Obama's presidency will be characterized by a severe lack of jokes was supported by the entire day of the Inauguration. Obama himself did not make a funny joke even though he had good opportunities to. Reverend Lowery was the only guy to make a joke the whole day and he did a good job. Obama should take a page out of old W's Bush and say some jokes or at least some unintentionally funny shit. I miss that wily Texan already.
Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right.
-Reverend Joseph Lowery
