There are a lot of people I’d like to call a jackass. Immature jackasses. Short-sighted jackasses. Cut-the-cord jackasses. Grow-A-Spine jackasses. But I’d have to say it all with venom in my voice, and whenever I taste just a drop of that poison, I remind myself to rise above it. That they can stay stuck in their jack-assery world, lie to themselves about their behavior or their actions, and I get to choose a different path.
But nothing made me laugh harder last night than hearing President Obama call Kanye West a jackass. It was just so refreshing. There was none of the venom, it was part of conversational banter, and he just called it like he saw it. Like everyone else saw it. And that’s good enough for me. So if you’re being a jackass, just think about this: you’re keeping company with the crazy.
I loved that too!
