I promise to blog about something non-Obama in the medium-term future. I know you'd enjoy my Into The Wild theory. (Cliff Notes version: If Chris McCandless had come back alive, he'd be riding the motivational-speaking circuit.)

Or maybe I could muse on Kim Kardashian, and why I find her intriguing despite all evidence to the contrary. (Okay, Kim, gimme some web hits. You're up against Superhead: show me what that ass can do. Kim Kardashian. Ass. And let the hits roll in.)

But I'll level with you, Clebketeers: all that might have to wait until, say, February 5th. Just until I know whether my dreams will be crushed or realized.

For now, here's a great Associated Press article debunking the idea of Obama as just a smiley dreamer with nothing on his resume.
