Or! Barack Hussein Obama, whom a nontrivial portion of the electorate believes, against all facts, is 1) a Muslim 2) lying about it, won. Ideology aside, I think it’s reasonably impressive (imagine, if you will, someone named Klaus Hitler VonSomething running in the mid-20th century) and should be kept in mind when considering the some-guy-on-the-Internet trend story. Anyway, I’m grateful for new technology which allows us to observe, in real time, the fact that there are lots of crazy people in the world, since it’s one of the most important lessons the Internet can impart.
Elsewhere in Obama news:
“The Droning Obama Gloriously Non-Sectarian Cloistered Monk Chorus was last fucking winter; since then he’s dropped in the polls, fallen behind John McCain, started sounding like a Democrat, and won in a landslide. As we emerge from the Worst Presidency in History By A Factor of Two At Least (there’s a fertile Irony field for you, Mr. O’Rourke) it’s hardly surprising that a sizable chunk of the public is permitting itself some small degree of hope despite the bleak news on every possible front involving Presidential decisions of the past eight years (got a shovel, P.J.?).”
