Hell, high ho- Barack's got the dough-  Hell,  I said obama was gracious- hell, I have no idea what gracious is!!  Hell, have you seeen me dressed up , walking along the city sidewalks!!  Hell, I would'nt know gracious if it was delivered to my front door--and, as far as inclusive is concerned- (ha, ha, they fell for that one too,  I have never been  politically inclusive! Inclusive, that word is not even in my vocabulary!  Hell, I may be for  some rights, but man oh man, I aint gonna get sore at Mr. Wonderbread- he has the gold now, and I aint standin up to no churches- black or white- over  equal rights for gay people,  though my hairstyle and flamboyancy has raised quite a few eyebrows!! Wither obamie goes, I go!!--elliot bassman
