Tomorrow is (obviously) Sunday, so we thought you might want to know before you go to church that Newsweek has declared Obama to be God. Silly me to imagine Newsweek to be a secular humanist rag, when they are seeking a god like everybody else.

I doubt that the O is God: he seems too ignorant to be God but, on the other hand, he does resemble a dark Narcissus. He might be a naiad or one of those Greek metrosexual things that skitter through the forest.

"He might be a naiad or one of those Greek metrosexual things that skitter through the forest."

Then "The Afternoon of a Faun" is more appropriate than "Hail to the Chief". And considering the sheer number of media Elois who seem to sparkle at the very mention of his hole(y) name, the melody would be much more suitable to their senstive ears.

Excuse me, but god that was funny. :)

Yeah, isn't that creepy coming from people who wouldn't be caught dead in a church, unless it had been converted to trendy lofts or an attorney's office?

I don't think Zero is God, either. I can't imagine God would have a total drunk as a father, for one thing. Nor a crazy white woman for a mother. If he's got any Greek blood, he might well be a piper of some type. Someone claimed just recently he's got German blood. In addition to many other kinds of blood.

So far, no Swedish blood reported, thankfully.

The media see him as a soap opera star, is all.

It's all about audience.

He's a chimera, holding out hope for the hopeless. That's all.

But they have a lot of votes.

Luther,

Chimera is a great word to describe the Zero.

When the veneer falls, it will be a rude awakening for the doting masses. Let's hope that happens before the res of us are destroyed in the process.

I'm tired of it all, Barrett. I'm worn down from both aisles... few seem to care about what got us here. We keep looking to the past, but it is the future that we must worry about.

If the economy keeps sputtering like it is, and folks finally make a connection between the One and the economy, which hasn't happened yet, his popularity will come tumbling down. I don't see how this can fail to happen as just in the energy sector alone no real solutions are being proposed.

The hopeless don't care about the economy. Not as long as they have a check to cash. Or, direct deposit.

Solutions only count for those who can spell the word.

I wonder how much Microsoft pays in taxes? I read somewhere that Bill Gates was going to move abroad if the tax rate got any higher. I doubt he'll be the only major corporation that does so.
