Inauguration

My sources tell me that the Obama campaign has already planned out the inaugural speech. After the Sainted One delivers his message unto his people, he will levitate into the sky and across the mall, landing within the White House grounds. At that point, a creepy bald-headed little girl in a black dress will assume the podium and say: "And how can this be? For he IS the Kwisatz Haderach!"

That would certainly be better than Tommy Lee doing a 10 minute drum solo over the crowd on the Dr Feelgood tour. Not much better. But better.

Oh, and I don't get the joke about Obama being some sort of saint/jesus/deity/prophet/whatever. Meaning I don't gather that is the way people see him. Maybe some people do see him that way. He does inspire hope in me, and I dig that. But I'm also a sucker for John Williams scores. I wonder if we could combine the Indiana Jones theme with the Obama inauguration...

I would prefer Wagner's "Magic Fire Music." The fire comes from Loge, the trickster god.

Not long ago, a reader sent me these words is-a-vis Obama:

"He is risen.
He is risen indeed."

Man. I am NEVER going to forget that.

The comment I'll never forget came from the person who "politely" told you that Obama would get the nomination "with or without Joseph Cannon's vote."

That said a lot, I think (none of it good).

Well, he probably will, Jen.

I still think it is my duty to call 'em as I have belatedly come to see 'em. Although I'm starting to feel like Jimmy Hunt in the first half of Invaders From Mars.
