"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

This just in from the Department of Dance...

'Vote for me, I'm a better dancer than McCain,' says Obama as he shows off his moves on TV

‘Michelle may be a better dancer, but I am convinced I am a better dancer than John McCain,’ Obama said of his Republican rival.

Until McCain dusts off his dancing shoes it may be difficult to verify Obama's claim.

But with a new poll showing that Obama is creating an imposing lead over his Republican rival he could certainly afford to be a little light-hearted.


And since he knows the media is 99.9% in the tank for him, he knows he can afford to be an ass. Let's see, on the one side, you have a 72 year old man who had his body broken by torture (the real kind, not the panties-on-the-head kind) in the service of his country. A man that can't even tie his own shoes or comb his own hair. And on the other side, you have a perfectly healthy 47 year old.

Gee, really? You think you can dance better than a virtual cripple who's got two decades on you? What's next? Betting you can pole vault better than Stephen Hawking? Maybe Stephen would have a shot, so long as he had Joe the Gaffe coaching him on.

I wonder when the media will bring this up, or, you know, break the news to The One that he dances like a white guy.
