I read the news today, oh boy ...

So Obama is gonna run. Yawn. Whatever.

I wish I was excited. I wish I was inspired. I remember how I felt at this time, four years ago, when it struck me that Senator Kerry was the right man for this country at this critical juncture.

But here are my choices as they stand today:

• Working for a candidate because he's black
• Working for a candidate because he's hot
• Working for a candidate because she's a woman and her husband asked me to

Please, Barack and John and Hill, make me fall in faith with one of you. I'll be a hard worker and a true believer. Just give me a real reason.
