I also cut out a three-paragraph aside about Presidential bowling in the White House that included the line <i>"Kennedy wasn't much of a bowler, but he did like to have his balls rubbed down and polished."</i> Not sure why I cut that, now that I think about it.

Then he said something about James Carville having put a voodoo curse on his head and hung up on me. I really need to start reading people's resumes more closely before signing them to seven-year guaranteed contracts.

Johnson Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:31:06 +0000 http://www.sodblog.com/politics/37-in-a-row/#comment-690 I am very glad that you have brought this to our attention, but there's a critical connection you aren't making: Obama is running for office for the sole purpose of having a private one-lane bowling alley[1] to practice on for 4 or possibly (if he improves his score quickly enough) 8 years. This is both good and bad, of course. It's bad insofar as it means that he wants to be President for all the right reasons, and no candidate who has wanted that has ever been elected. It's good, though, because when the phone rings at 3 a.m., he'll already be awake. Bowling.
