A while back my Dad saw this magazine article about Barak Obama, and is now
convinced that the mole on his nose is from where a diamond nose stud used to
be. Now whenever he sees Obama on television, he brings it up. If Mom or I
should happen to say "Uh, the dude's just got a mole on his nose" Dad gets
annoyed, calls us sycophantic, and then accuses us of making a big deal about
it.

My father thinks that any belief about Barak Obama's nose is accompanied by an
emotional investment in said belief. Needless to say, I avoid discussing
politics at the dinner table.
