The junior Senator from Illinois gave quite a speech upon gaining the nomination of the Democrat Party.  Here's my favorite part:

"I face this challenge with profound humility . . .  I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when . . . the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal . . .

"Heal" the planet?  I hope he doesn't stop with Mother Earth.  I've been worried about Pluto catching a cold.  And Mercury must be suffering from heat stroke.  Lord only knows how Neptune has managed all these years.

And about this profound humility of your Senator . . .
