yeah, as a pacifist I'm disappointed in Obama, well, not really
"disappointed" because I didn't expect him to court assassination by
repudiating Bush's wars (although wouldn't that be cool! maybe they
wouldn't kill him off, who knows, it'd be a heckuva ride to try and
find out...but he never said that was his trip)
(more's the pity)

Reed's "coolest guy in the room" isn't saying coolest guy in the world
- that'd be, like, oh, Desmond Tutu or Pharoah Sanders...somebody like
that (Tom Waits?  Thomas Pynchon's in the running too...)

Hippest dude in a very uncool room, Obama...
