Laughter is the best coping mechanism I know. I could not survive here without it. I doubt this President could survive his two terms without it either.

President Obama Honors Bob Dylan, Others With Medal of Freedom

Bob Dylan has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor bestowed upon a United States civilian. The singer-songwriter was one of 13 recipients announced by President Obama on Thursday.

Bob Dylan's 'Blood On The Tracks' Album to Be Made Into a Movie

The Medal of Freedom recognizes "individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors," said a press release issued by the White House. The awards will be presented there in late spring.

Other recipients include John Glenn, Madeline Albright, Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and novelist Toni Morrison. Dylan is hailed as "one of the most influential American musicians of the 20th century."

Bob Dylan Remembers Levon Helm: 'My Bosom Buddy...One of the Last True Great Spirits'

"These extraordinary honorees come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, but each of them has made a lasting contribution to the life of our nation," Obama said. "They've challenged us, they've inspired us, and they've made the world a better place. I look forward to recognizing them with this award."

Yeah, it's true.
I don't really know why, or what made me think that way.
Maybe it's because you seem to be so hip and "with it".
So positive and upbeat.
I think that may be because you're so cool.
You are sure to be one of those that is forever young!

I have to admit that I wouldn't still be here if it weren't for champions of Obama like you.
You and Cha.
Freshwest and IrishAyes and some of the other gals.
This BOG group has been a lifesaver for me.

Yet, we all have favorites.
And you are mine.
There, I said it.

I have been having trouble with my mouse and coping and pasting. I think it's my computer. There was more of an explanation at the link...but what I posted does it Cha.
