Rant time...

I am sofa king sick of hearing about Obama. Seriously. You'd think he had won the Nobel Prizes for Peace, Literature and Chemistry, paid off the national debt, cures cancer just by thinking about you and is a one-man carbon vacuum. At least, that's how it comes across on the news and on digg and slashdot. And the lady whose cubicle is across the aisle from me.

I get that it's okay to be excited about a candidate, especially one whose name doesn't rhyme with "George Bush." But this has gone well beyond candidacy support and into that same category of songs you really fucking hate because while they might be decent songs, they're so constantly overplayed everywhere all the time, you just can't get a break from them.

How dare you disrespect the hallowed name of the Ebony Messiah, you racist fuck.

On a more serious note: This topic combined with your avatar = pretty damn funny.

McCain was right when he said that the media is completely focused on Obama as opposed to him.

It's almost as if there is some kind of bias in favour of the Democrats, but we all know that's bullshit.

It seems to me that the "If you do this then you are cool" pointer moved from hating Bush to liking Obama. Not to say no one hates Bush anymore, of course.

This isn't a contest to see who has the best ideas on how to run the country. Not at all. What we have here is Presidential Idol.

So your saying that this has the potential to be the most successful voting turn out in the last 16 years?

Fuck I hate Idol.

I don't think McCain's ad was too far off. There are people out there that are caught up in this as if he were a mere celebrity. There's way more on the line than what he'll be wearing tomorrow.

Oba-mi Ob-am-a, Life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.

Barack has the flag "stored" in the fireplace
Michelle tries to fist-bump with her man
Pelosi stays at home and does his pretty face
And Harry Reid tries to act just like a man.

Oba-mi Ob-am-a, Life goes on, bra!
La la how the life goes on.

I think it's safe to say that you won't be hearing about Obama for a few days...looks like Edwards will now be sucking up the news cycles for a bit.

Yeah, and then watch the Clintons step into the light.

Re-create 68!

Well we shouldn't be hearing about Obama for a while considering he's on a week long vacation in Hawaii.

Actually, this is the exact reason why we will be hearing about Obama. Even if there wasn't a scandal, they'll make it one to go on vacation right before an election. Unless of course, McCain drops his pants in front of a bunch of cameras.

*twitch*

God, I hope that doesn't happen.

Really give the guy a break, he's going on vacation spending time with his family, he's campaigning for president and will probably be overrun with people wanting autographs when in Hawaii. All this while McCain cries behind his desk

He ventured forth to bring light to the world!

The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers...

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: ?Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope??

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media. He ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the

Taleban had harboured the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror on all the world.

And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the forces of the light were triumphant. For as long as the Child stood with his arms raised aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and the threat of terror was no more.

From there he went forth to Mesopotamia where he was received by the great ruler al-Maliki, and al-Maliki spake unto him and blessed his Sixteen Month Troop Withdrawal Plan even as the imperial warrior Petraeus tried to destroy it.

And lo, in Mesopotamia, a miracle occurred. Even though the Great Surge of Armour that the evil Bush had ordered had been a terrible mistake, a waste of vital military resources and doomed to end in disaster, the Child's very presence suddenly brought forth a great victory for the forces of the light.

And the Persians, who saw all this and were greatly fearful, longed to speak with the Child and saw that the Child was the bringer of peace. At the mention of his name they quickly laid aside their intrigues and beat their uranium swords into civil nuclear energy ploughshares.

From there the Child went up to the city of Jerusalem, and entered through the gate seated on an ***. The crowds of network anchors who had followed him from afar cheered ?Hosanna? and waved great palm fronds and strewed them at his feet.

In Jerusalem and in surrounding Palestine, the Child spake to the Hebrews and the Arabs, as the Scripture had foretold. And in an instant, the lion lay down with the lamb, and the Israelites and Ishmaelites ended their long enmity and lived for ever after in peace.

As word spread throughout the land about the Child's wondrous works, peoples from all over flocked to hear him; Hittites and Abbasids; Obamacons and McCainiacs; Cameroonians and Blairites.

And they told of strange and wondrous things that greeted the news of the Child's journey. Around the world, global temperatures began to decline, and the ocean levels fell and the great warming was over.

The Great Prophet Algore of Nobel and Oscar, who many had believed was the anointed one, smiled and told his followers that the Child was the one generations had been waiting for.

And there were other wonderful signs. In the city of the Street at the Wall, spreads on interbank interest rates dropped like manna from Heaven and rates on credit default swaps fell to the ground as dead birds from the almond tree, and the people who had lived in foreclosure were able to borrow again.

Black gold gushed from the ground at prices well below $140 per barrel. In hospitals across the land the sick were cured even though they were uninsured. And all because the Child had pronounced it.

And this is the testimony of one who speaks the truth and bears witness to the truth so that you might believe. And he knows it is the truth for he saw it all on CNN and the BBC and in the pages of The New York Times.

Then the Child ventured forth from Israel and Palestine and stepped onto the shores of the Old Continent. In the land of Queen Angela of Merkel, vast multitudes gathered to hear his voice, and he preached to them at length.

But when he had finished speaking his disciples told him the crowd was hungry, for they had had nothing to eat all the hours they had waited for him.

And so the Child told his disciples to fetch some food but all they had was five loaves and a couple of frankfurters. So he took the bread and the frankfurters and blessed them and told his disciples to feed the multitudes. And when all had eaten their fill, the scraps filled twelve baskets.

Thence he travelled west to Mount Sarkozy. Even the beauteous Princess Carla of the tribe of the Bruni was struck by awe and she was great in love with the Child, but he was tempted not.

On the Seventh Day he walked across the Channel of the Angles to the ancient land of the hooligans. There he was welcomed with open arms by the once great prophet Blair and his successor, Gordon the Leper, and his successor, David the Golden One.

And suddenly, with the men appeared the archangel Gabriel and the whole host of the heavenly choir, ranks of cherubim and seraphim, all praising God and singing: ?Yes, We Can.?

I wonder how many people will actually try to accomplish something on election day and take the bus to the polls to vote for obama and then get irate and start shouting jibberish when they are informed they had to have registered first.
