“It is very rare I come to an event where I’m like the fifth or sixth most interesting person. Usually the folks want to take a picture with me, sit next to me, talk to me. That has not been the case at this event and I completely understand.” – President Obama, speaking to the crowd at his “NBA heroes” fundraiser on Wednesday.

He once tore the tag off a mattress … using only his hands. And some scissors.
He once went swimming … 28 minutes after eating.
He’s best friends with Chuck Norris … in that picture he drew and hung on the fridge.
He is … the 6th most interesting man in the room. “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, it’s because the police acted stupidly.” Obama. “Stay thirsty, my fr … hey where did you guys go?”

Yes, he really said that. A colleague writes: “I am not always the least cool person in the room, but when I am, it burns my soul with the heat of a thousand suns.” Indeed, being the sixth most interesting person in the room is a heavy burden; one the lightbringer seems ill-equipped to handle. If your idea of complimenting others on their notoriety is to marvel that they’ve displaced you from the throne of glory, you might have an ego problem. But the thing is, Mr. President, I care. That’s how I do. And I want to help. So I have an idea.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, and Moe. Let us now venture into the halls of charity and good will. Let us reach across that vaunted aisle and extend the hand of assistance. Today, you can help. For those familiar with the Most Interesting Man meme, you can use the above text-less graphic and create your own “I don’t always” photoshops and post them in the comments. Or perhaps you would rather just come up with some quotes for a “sixth most interesting man” commercial. Share your thoughts, and your hearts, and help President Obama get in touch with his inner humble spirit. As usual, winners may or may not be chosen, may or may not be announced, and most certainly will not be rewarded in any tangible way. Do it for the children! Unleash your inner therapist!

Remember, keep it clean and within site rules. And have fun.

I have been working hard to set up a Red Cross blood drive during Friday’s program. However, in order to finalize plans we need to provide at least 35 people’s names in advance so they know for sure they’ll have at least that many donations. To date, because we can’t announce it until we finalize it, and can’t finalize it until we get volunteers, and can’t get volunteers if we don’t announce it, we only have 11 people. So I’m posting this in the diaries in the hopes of drumming up some volunteers from among our site members who are planning to attend. You can read all about the Gathering here, and if you wish to donate blood, please email your full name to registrations@redstate.com

It’s going to be a great event. I hope to see you all there!

I just … I don’t even … wut? The above video shows Democrat State Senator Gene Jeffress, who is running for Congress in Arkansas against Republican Tom Cotton, answering a question about healthcare. The first weird thing Jeffress did was get down on his knees in front of a woman, like maybe he was going to whisper the secret 11 herbs and spices to her. The second weird thing he did was assert that Germany has provided for the healthcare of their citizens for “centuries”. No wait, sorry. The first weird thing he did was to choose to wear that suit.

Then he told a story. A story about a woman who stood up and told him that “Senator, I don’t want to pay for no more n*gger babies.” About which our courageous civil rights leader stated “You know what that really sounds to me like? Racism.”

Wow, you work that one out on your own there, Sherlock? Suddenly, I’m super impressed with you as a champion of diversity!! Your obviously fake story about an obviously racist person to whom you responded in the most obviously easy way has convinced me to give you money!!! WE ARE ALL CREAM COLORED SUIT WEARERS TODAY.

Seriously. There are like 8 people in the room and this guy is working it like a stripper with daddy issues. I’m not sure he’s trying to raise campaign money, I think maybe he just wanted lunch. What was his next “campaign stop”, a highway exit where he offered to wash people’s windows for change?

Reached for comment, the audience said only “why am I the only person in here?” As always, consider this an Open Thread.
