desperate dick...

I have nothing but the utmost respect for comedy icon Dick Van Dyke. His television series was a groundbreaking prototype of the modern sitcom. Hell, I even secretly DVR Diagnosis Murder so I can watch it late at night in my Snuggie with a pint of Häagen-Dazs. Too much information.

Yet last week was the very first time he's performed for a President of the United States.

Apparently, Dick felt he needed to give a modern update to the memorable Poppins tune A Spoonful of Sugar, 'cause, you know, Obama is a very hip guy.

There's such a fine line between hip and hip hop...
