Obama May Use Koran

Conservapedia, the world centre for conservative stupidity, tells us:

"President-elect Obama will likely become the first Muslim President, and may use the Koran to be sworn into office at his inauguration on January 20, 2009."

Here's a list of other books that President Obama "may" use to swear-in:

• The Communist Manifesto
  
• The Collected Works of John Stuart Mill*
  
• The Very Hungry Caterpillar
  
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
  
• One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads
  
• A Hand In The Bush: The Fine Art of Vaginal Fisting
  
• The Conservative Soul: How We Lost It, How to Get It Back

What other books "may" President-elect Obama use? Please let me know...

Why are Muslims backwards in science?

Today, today, the Muslims are getting backward in science. You know why? The Europeans are being advanced. You know why? The Muslims are becoming backwards because the are going away from the Holy Qur'an. They are going away from their religion.

[applause]

And do you know why the Europeans are getting advanced? They too are going away from their religion. The Europeans [applause] are also getting advanced [inaudible] they are going away from their religion. The Muslims, they are going backwards because they are going away from religion.

I would request, the Muslims [inaudible], as were non-Muslims. They are people in the Qur'an. Why don't we read the Qur'an, with understanding? Why don't we point out the verses? We have only kept the Qur'an kissing and keeping on top that's all. The Qur'an was not meant to just be kissed and kept on top. It should be implemented in your daily life.

[applause]

If you implement the Qur'an in your daily life, read it with understanding, insha'allah again we shall be on top of the world. I hope that answers your question.

Gore Vidal: Mad 4 Obama

The only thing more painful than waiting to see if the polls were right, was the BBC's sometimes pythonesquely bad election coverage. "North Hampshire"? Lord help us.

Here's one must-see moment, tho... Gore Vidal. Mad for Obama. Seriously.



Step away from the bong, Mr Vidal...

Black Wednesday

And so, after twenty-one months of smears, bickering, and beamed-in-your-dreams media coverage, it's all over. Comrade Mullah Che Generalissimo Herr OberNAMBLAenfuhrer Barack "Hussein" Obama Bin Laden has been elected as the 44th president-designate of the United Socialist States of America.

Fuckin' A.

(Image found at Moonbattery.com).

Not everyone has been as gracious in defeat as John McCain.

NewsBusters got all grumpy when an African-American reporter on ABC teared up over there being a black President in the White House in his lifetime. How fucking dare he.



Newsbuster commenter attorneygirl just ain't quite feeling the love:

It's about race.

It's always been about race.

Now we'll all be in slavery--to a dictatorship.

I cannot now say God Bless America. Not with a Marxist as President. Not with idiots, morons, and sycophants praying to their savior Obama. He is a racist. He has pitted classes against each other.

I will now raise my rates, stop giving to charity, and will not tip any longer. I will fire employees, stop paying benefits, and stop giving my household help Christmas bonuses.

Let the government do it for me.

Bah Humbug.

I'm pulling in and becoming scrooge because the government will be taking my money. Assholes. Now everyone will see what Obama-economics really is.

And I worked my ass off to start my own business. I ate tuna (still do) and still drive an old car so that I can save money for my old age.

Screw that, right?

I will never, ever support a Democrat, a liberal, or this pseudo-president Marxist Obama.

Never.

We have experienced a coup today. And Communism won.

I will now become more self-centered than ever before.

Good on you, attorneygirl, you are a tribute to everything which lost the election for the Republicans.

I salute you. Enjoy your time at the Socialist Re-education Camp. Palin-Oh-Twelve!

Hot Air Predictions

Travel & dodgy internet connections have kept me from blogging... But they haven't kept me from the election and, unfortunately, from right-wingers furiously spinning an alternate reality where McCain is on course for victory.

Jon Swift tells all with his posts on Why John McCain will win and hidden-Obama-horror-stories.

To add to the madness, I wanted to bring you this poll from Michelle Malin's Hot Air, showing how its readers think the election is going to break:-


79% think McCain will be the next POTUS. We'll find out for sure soon enough - although I'm not sure many will share this level of Hot Air optimism:-

The GOP will gain the lead in house.
I told you so.
I’m betting they will on Intrade.com
I will make money.
Period.

Or this:

The deal is that republicans are voting down the line republican.
We are coming out in large droves to prevent an Obama presidency.
That means republicans can gain in the House, Senate, and win the White House.

And especially this from stonemeister:

McCain may really be up by 20% or more... The “hang-up” percentage, or people who refuse to be polled, is over 85%, which is historically high. This means there is no way to assume the sample is statistically valid. It all depends on the make-up of the 85%. So we have to figure out the motives for the hang-ups. Now we’re not talking probability and statistics, by forensic psychology... Why would anyone not want to participate in a telephone poll?

In case you are wondering, it's because people might feel guilty saying "McCain" for various reasons (*cough* race), or - always my favorite - real working people (Republicans!) are too busy for polls...

That probably accounts for the vast majority of those hang-ups. How do those poll results look to you now? Instead of Obama ahead by 1 to 3%, he might really be behind by 20-30%!

Riiight.

And so to Tuesday. Are the polls accurate? Are there really more Democrats than Republicans? Is America really ready for a black president, or will millions of Americans get into those booths and say "not quite yet"? Who would blame them if they did just that, and voted for McCain instead of Obama? After all, Obama just might be an arab muslim socialist terrorist. We can't be entirely sure he isn't, right?

I mean, at least with McCain/Palin, you know exactly what you're gonna get, right? I mean, we've had people like them in charge for the past eight years. So what could possibly go wrong!?

Pernicious Cults

Those pernicious cults over at Moonbattery give us this:-

"It's a remarkable coincidence that the Obamunism logo closely resembles that of the Weather Underground Organization terrorist cult, when you consider that the Weather Underground was led by Bill Ayers, who developed Obama as a protégé, blah blah blah blah blah blah..."

Closely resembles? WTF? Memo to Moonbattery: The logos look nothing like each other.
