No I didn’t listen to the speech, but I must admit it was on in the background. Thus I was treated to hearing Obama refer to “every fiber of my being." God I hate that phrase, whether it is from John “Mr. Sincere” Rothman or our current POTUS. What the hell does it mean anyway? What kind of fiber is one’s being made of? How many fibers make up one being? Is a being a physical body or more like a spiritual thing – in which case why would fiber be involved? Maybe the fiber reference is a metaphor; if so, for what? Being full of shit? Or the means by which to rid oneself of same? Now this is starting to make sense…
