President Obama’s Secret Weapon

DSCN1021[1]

Today I heard part of a speech where Barack  Obama was championing civil rights. To paraphrase part of that speech, here is what he declared: “because of what happened when they marched over that bridge, a white girl and a black man could have a child, and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

Republicans are saying that President Obama is ignorant on civil rights and American history, because of the fact that he was born before that march. But that couldn’t be true, because he’s a Harvard graduate, and you know how hard it is to get a Harvard degree these days.

Using sophisticated detective techniques, I found out why he said what appears to be a gaffe.

He’s got a time machine.

You’re looking at the world’s first photo of the plans for that machine at the top of the page.

Using the time machine, Barack Obama Jr. went back in history, saw that civil rights march happen, and said, “I’ll have myself born before the march, knowing what a great place America is going to become in the past.”

Pure genius.

It’s no wonder he was able to graduate from Harvard and not have to release his university transcripts.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to hop into that time machine and see who I should have voted for coming up back in 2012. This is going to be easy.

What’s Better Than a ‘57 Chevy?

A ‘57 bathtub, of course.

Cast iron. Perfect condition. Baby blue. Made by American Standard. With the build date and “Made in USA” molded on the bottom of it.

With matching toilet and sink.

Sitting in my new house.

This little guy and I are looking forward to some real hootenannies during his future bath times.

Oh, look…this piece of paper says that I was born on 1957. What a coincidence.

The Bloggathon is Well Underway

The Jerry Begly Bloggathon 2010 is moving right along. Thanks for joining me. I’m celebrating National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com with a post every two hours, through the 16th of May! What is really fun about this week, is that I get to celebrate, by offering you an opportunity to read my children’s book entitled “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth. As I sit here posting this, my son, Caleb is reformatting the 3rd Edition of the book which will be sent to the printers today. It freaks me out that we can edit and format the book, up here high in the Rockies completely off the grid, send it through the airwaves, and get it printed in the Good Old USA within a few weeks.
