<p>Apparently, Obama gave a speech last night.  This is what he said:</p>
<blockquote><p> I like to cave. But this time I&#8217;m not caving. I tried to cave a little, but they wanted me to cave a lot. Economy go boom. America sad.</p></blockquote>
<p>I actually didn&#8217;t watch it.  But apparently Obama&#8217;s call for people <a href="http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/phones-on-the-hill-ringing-off-the-hook/">to call Boehner and tell him he&#8217;s a boner</a> worked.  <a href="http://www.speaker.gov/Contact/">Click here to e-mail Boehner</a> and tell him he&#8217;s a boner.</p>
<p>Anyway, back to the good times!</p>
<p>I won $5 at the last flash fiction contest at <a href="http://boxingwithpencils.com/five-dollah-make-you-hollah-ulysses-s-sherman-winner/">Boxing With Pencils</a>.  I got a free pair of panties at Victoria&#8217;s Secret.  I sampled every tea they have for sampling at <a href="http://www.suite101.com/content/five-unique-teas-every-tea-lover-should-try-a378268">Teavanna.</a>  I bought cute shorts with a free belt for only $10.  I helped a lady at the community college register for classes.  I wrote an topic page for Cracked.com about <a href="http://www.cracked.com/funny-8052-zebrafish/">Zebrafish</a>.  Zebrafish are awesome.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re also awesome.  Never forget to be awesome.</p>
