I don't know if Obama is ready for prime time but he's the anti-Hillary.

Either he's a straight shooter or the best actor I've ever seen. I'm putting my money on the former. At this point, if it has to be someone winning the nod from the Dems, I hope it's him.

I must remain tight-lipped, but can tell you my assignment involves Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Pancho Villa, nuclear radiation, lost treasure, Mexican carnival sideshows, Tom Wolfe, alien autopsies, satanists, tequila, John Wesley Hardin, chupacabras, Aztec blood sacrifice, Mexican outlaw biker gangs, my dad, Pershing missiles, porn shops, peyote, Billy the Kid, eating brains, and a cursed hot rod. I am not making any of this up. Pray for me.
