5:58 A.M.

Yesterday was supposed to involve a few hours travelling which ended up unravelling into MANY hours travelling. So sorry’s for the be behinds, and although I technically could’ve done the show by cell phone from an airport, I was like….that’s a little gay or desperate or something ( plus I only had one bar of power ) so Welsh is setting up the make-up date.

And dudes, I think I need a in’ vacation. But just not in the cards. And I remember some old broad I used to work with, and she was always like “I’ve never taken not ONE DAY’s vacation in 25 years.”, and I think “Big fat pussy” whenever I start to feel sorry enough for myself to want to go on vacation.

The Spell Is Broken

Four score and seven years ago … No, wait, my mistake. Two score and seven or eight days ago, Barack Obama gave the greatest speech since the Gettysburg Address, or FDR’s First Inaugural, or JFK’s religion speech, or (if like Garry Wills in The New York Review Of Books, you find those comparisons drearily obvious) Lincoln’s Cooper Union speech of 1860. And, of course, the Senator’s speech does share one quality with Cooper Union, Gettysburg, the FDR Inaugural, Henry V at Agincourt, Socrates’ Apology, etc: it’s history. He said, apropos the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, that “I could no more disown him than I can disown my white grandmother.” But last week he did disown him. So, great-speech-wise, it’s a bit like Churchill promising to fight them on the beaches and never surrender, and then surrendering a month and a half later, and on a beach he decided not to fight on.
