Here's a fun chain letter I just got.

Subject: Kind of scary, wouldn't you think
Remember--God is good, and is in time, on time--every time.
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:
The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it!
If you think I am crazy..Im sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate

I'm a bit perturbed that I got this from a member of my own family. Don't. Not. Can't. Function.

The part that really irks me is that the spoooooky details aren't even fucking accurate. It'd be like me saying "Arc is really Elvis because he's from Ohio... JUST LIKE ELVIS!!!"

I can not imagine what Obama could possibly do to ruin America.

He's a Democrat, he'll find a way to fuck it up for everyone.

Between the mention knocking down trade with neighbors to the Pakistan affair a few months ago, the signs are there. They're not too major, but they are there.

Okay, I'll clarify:

Obama can't do worse than Bush unless he nukes American cities.

So, O-man just got the Jimmy Carter 'Happy Georgian^(tm)' endorsement.

Biggest gun yet.

Not official last I checked this morning, but, well, yeah:

"My children and their spouses are pro-Obama. My grandchildren are also pro-Obama," he said at a news conference, according to the Nigerian newspaper This Day. "As a superdelegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for, but I leave you to make that guess."

Time to put this game to an end.

Motherfucker. I'd been meaning to Gimp together that exact sight gag for months. Serves me right for procrastinating, I guess.

...Yours, or did you find it somewhere?

From another ytmnd. A fine source for many thread emoticons of late.

Man, I can't wait to start disliking him sixteen years from now when his wife runs for the Presidency, turning him into an oddly cankerous old coot, sniping at audiences over every little criticism. Until then, huzzah and lollipops.

Today, during a conversation about Obama, one of my coworkers said, "I'm not racist, I just don't think one of them should be president."

I almost

'd from the sheer stupidity of that statement.

... Muslims?

One of my friends who is A) Black, and 2) a Hillary supporter, was chatting up a stripper last week. He found out she was a Hillary supporter too, and then she qualified her stance with "I like Barack, but with a name like that, I have to question his loyalty, ya know?"

The next eight years are sure to be a rollercoaster of facepalms.

That's funny, I feel the same way about anyone named "Clinton".

I'm kinda glad Clinton is using the GOP attack plan, since it proves without a doubt that Obama can weather their attacks without losing points, and perhaps even gaining some.

Clinton might be like the first boss of the XBox Ninja Gaiden, who kicks the shit out of you until you beat his ass half to death, then he puts his nunchuks away and bows. "Now that you have proven your worth, let's chop up the REAL evil guys."

That would be epic, but very unlikely.

...Weird, I could have SWORN I wrote a post in this thread several days ago consisting entirely of "So isn't there any REAL news this week?"

Anyway. Atlanta Journal-Constitution has an article about a woman who roomed with Michelle Obama their first semester at Princeton. Overall message is that the electorate is a hell of a lot more complex than we generally see it.

HT to John Hodgman.
