During the election last night I started thinking of the movies “American Gangster” and “The Departed”. I thought of “The Departed” because of the Jack Nicholson quote about blacks, irish catholics, and the presidency. Then I started thinking about “American Gangster” because for some reason I always get those two movies mixed up. Anyway, Frank Lucas’ obvservations about cutting out the middlemen and buying directly from the supplier were on my mind during Obama’s acceptance speech.

The whole article is hilarious, but the best quote for me is this:
“Obama had the foresight to run for president at a time when being an African-American was not as important to Americans as, say, the ability to clothe and feed their children,” Pung continued. “An election like this only comes once, maybe twice, in a lifetime.”
