Finishing what was started almost two centuries ago.

What, do I need to comment on this? You people really like watching go around chasing my own literary tail, now dont’cha? Well… just in case this picture doesn’t speak volumes in and of itself (or otherwise in case you still haven’t had that morning coffee which usually kicks off your neurons), I’ll provide you with a little extra something straight from one of America’s most reliable news sources:

WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation’s broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, “It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can’t catch a break.”
