Well, *I Never*!

*Note: There seems to be a real chance of this becoming a political blog since this whole Obama thing went down. Well, sort of political. If by political you mean "Lame old married lady e-stalking the President and his family," then yes.

For some reason I can't begin to fathom, lots of anti-Obama folks have latched onto this picture:

Number one, it's fake. Number two, um...what? Really? This is all you've got? You "busted" him on smoking? He already admitted that. (Bonus for those of you who actually read article number two and noticed that this filthy habits consists [consisted?] of three Marlboros a day. I have to smoke twice that many just listening to one of his speeches. I applaud him for not having to burn down a pack every time he passes a mirror.)

Most importantly, though, how on Earth does making him look like a member of the Rat Pack help degrade him? Now I'm no political scientist, but I'ma guess that photoshopping your opponent up to look like a black Humphrey Bogart is only slightly less effective than, say, attacking his adorable children.

Here's lookin' at you, beautiful, smart, endearing, multi-racial kid.

Dude better screw something up and quick or we're going to have to listen to four years of people slamming him for adopting his daughters a puppy.

Fucking Stupid Extremists

Wow. I almost, out of habit, typed "fucking stupid country," but, um...it would appear I don't really believe that anymore. And you want to know why?

Because President (I know, right????) Obama is Hypnotizing Us!

You are getting sleeeepy...possibly because for the first time in eight years we don't feel the crushing weight of an incompetent government bent on bringing about the Apocalypse.

Apparently, "using rhetorical strategies to create an engaging and persuasive argumentative speech" is the same as "bewitching the masses with hypnosis."

People, this has gone on long enough! For centuries, our country has been duped by an evil flood of Svengali who used their nefarious powers to sucker us into implementing social change that leads to further fulfillment of our own social contract, The Constitution! Is this the kind of charlatan you want running your country??

Old Abe wasn't so honest after all!

Besides those techniques discussed in the paper such as "repetition" and "appeal to emotions," Obama and his shaman predecessors also resorted to such base tactics as "using logic and reasoning" and "convincing people that they are worth something."

These two were the masters.

If the last eight years have taught us nothing, we should at least know by now that a real leader is a surly bully that doesn't give a shit about how the public perceives him, gleefully stomps on those less fortunate, and MOST IMPORTANTLY has absolutely zero command of the English language. Because people who talk right and make sense are gay.

Hours from Midnight

Tomorrow, I hope more than anything in this world that I wake up in a dream. Tonight, we find out of my niece will be born in an America willing elect a black president. If they can elect the child of a single mother. I wanted to pontificate for a while, but I don't have the words in me. I just hope.

Now, for some videos!

This first video is supposed to be funny, and it is, but it still gave me chill bumps. Don't give up on it until at least 1:53:

This one is not supposed to be funny:

Do You Hear the People Sing?

And in case you forget what the hubub is about:
