Good thing they're keeping the taverns open late in D.C. - metrohumanx, 2009-01-20: 11:27:00

Drink usually causes people to spill out what troubles them to the barman ... just as people will spill out their troubles to Obama. The barman makes it all feel better with another drink. We must wait and see how Obama will make things better. Intriguing comparison! Incredible verbotomy! - silveryaspen, 2009-01-20: 13:06:00
