There are times

I'm a great believer in democracy and universal adult suffrage, but there are moments that try my faith.

Like this one:

 

Excuse me while I go find a brick wall to beat my head against. I know I promised not to act as liberals did toward Bush voters in 2004, but … damn.

Obama born again?

Literally, that is. As in reincarnation. According to Walter Semkiw, a physician in (of course) San Francisco, President-elect Obama is the reincarnation of Lyman Trumbull, a Democratic US Senator and Lincoln ally from Illinois, and co-author of the Thirteenth Amendment, which banned slavery.

I wonder if he’ll draw any Cabinet members from the invisible beings of Mt. Shasta?
