In further studies about the effects of resveratrol, an ingredient found in red wine, peanuts and a few other things, scientists found the chemical not only increased muscle mass and extended the lives of lab rats but also increased their endurance as well. A lab rat can run about 1 km before collapsing; those given the drug increased their endurance to run 2 km, an increase of 100 percent. A lot of people hate the fact that red wine, an evil, evil alcoholic drink, could possibly be so good for your heart and liver, but facts are facts. This clearly explains why that white-haired, pot-bellied guy in polyester running attire passed me like I was standing still during my last 10K. He is clearly a heavy red wine drinker. Clearly.

From Barak Obama, senator from Illinois:
The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I’ve got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.
