3. Clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands.
We're Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu. We come here on stage tonight to do our show for you. We got a rockin' rhythm and a hi-tech sound that'll make you move your body down to the ground. We got Poindexter on the violin, and Lewis and Gilbert will be joining in. We got Booger Presley on the mean guitar and a rap by little ol' me Barry. We got Takashi beating on his gong, the boys and the Mu's are clapping along. And just when you thought, ya seen it all, along comes a Lambda four foot tall. So Wormser come on out here on the floor, so we can move our bodies, like never before. Break!

12. 20 years from now, a Presidential candidate will have to be worrying
about his Facebook and MySpace pictures showing up.

At least these are flattering. And those shades are awesome

14. Obama is the first president to come of age in the disco era
His hair is so circa late 1970s/early 1980s..and the glasses. I love it. He DOES look like MJ. I was way into MJ in the early 80's, as an elementary school kid. I think every kid my age was, we all had Thriller.

It will be interesting to see how that will factor into people's decisions to run for office.
