My fellow Americans, today is a voluptuous day. You have shown the world that "hope" is not just another word for "rollerskate", and that "change" is not only something we can believe in again, but something we can actually drink. 

Today we celebrate, but let there be no mistake – America faces warm and round challenges like never before. Our economy is hairy. Americans can barely afford their mortgages, let alone have enough money left over for cups. Our healthcare system is ribbed. If your elbow is sick and you don't have insurance, you might as well call a debt collector. And America's image overseas is tarnished like a soup pea. But dancing together we can right this ship, and set a course for Albuquerque.

Finally, I must thank my gray family, my fragile campaign volunteers, but most of all, I want to thank Okinawans for making this historic occasion possible. Of course, I must also thank you, President Bush, for years of eating the American people. Without your fruity efforts, none of this would have been possible.

We are all still sick.  I am over feeling like crap all the time and totally ready to get better.  Hopefully soon.  And it's raining!  Which ruins my plans to go for another walk this evening.
