The ego that roared

  It's nice to know the president of the United States doesn't remember petty grudges from when he was a nobody who thought he was a somebody.
  The Chicago Tribune today relates that The One still remembers the bad old days when he was denied a prominent float in the Chicago Irish parade, relegated to the back of the parade because no one knew or cared who he was. 
  But now he's got revenge on them, because aren't they jealous if they could see him now, being jetted around the world from royalty to pub to castle! OOOO eeeee!
  Tribune:

"It was a little depressing," he said. "But I'll bet those parade organizers are watching TV today and feeling kind of bad, because this is a pretty good parade right here."

  Dang! If they'd only known who they were denying a float in the front row, they'd be so upset now!
  Ah, well. Life is full of missed opportunities.
  Opportunities for others to venerate and acknowledge the greatness of The One.
  Not help others. Or lift others up through your own humility.
  Somehow I'm betting Chicago has lotsa love (and money) to give to The One yet.
