See...

The fact that I don't expend any energy to build about myself an online following on this blog or twitter or anything means when I come up with a really clever take on current events, I don't have the ability to drop it like a wry bomb on the public square. Case in point:

"You know what the say: 90% of winning a Nobel Peace Prize is showing up."

See? That's hilarious. Takes the Woody Allen quote about life being 90% showing up, fuses it with Obama's Nobel Peace Prize (congratulations, yea Amurica, regardless of it being an absurd decision) and produces comic gold. But what happens? I put it on facebook, maybe I got a chuckle, but basically nobody cares; I put it on twitter, where I have, I think, one follower that isn't a porn-bot. It's like throwing a diamond into a black hole, I tell you! If Jim Gaffigan had said that, it would have been retweeted like an muhfucker.

But I don't care about that worldly recognition. I store up by treasure in Heaven like. The above written notwithstanding.
