Obama More Popular Than Jesus

Italian craftsman in Italy add political figures and celebrities to Nativity scenes that they produce.

Figurines of Mr Obama and his wife Michelle have become bestsellers, according to craftsmen in Naples.

The southern Italian city has a booming industry in producing the miniature statues and modern public figures are often added alongside Mary and Joseph.

Local market stalls also stock figurines of French first couple Nicholas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni and Italy's own Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

But outselling them all is the newly-elected American.

Just adding fuel to the fire - that Obama was not born in Hawaii, but in a manger.

Cotton Correlates with Obama Votes

Black sharecroppers in Georgia 1898.

Take a look at Strange Maps and notice how the cotton production map of 1860 mirrors almost exactly the blue Obama votes through the South.

The link between these two maps is not causal, but correlational, and the correlation is African-Americans. Once they were the slaves on whom the cotton economy had to rely for harvesting. Despite an outward migration towards the Northern cities, their settlement pattern now still closely corresponds to that of those days.

Godwin's Law Employed Against Obama

Panicked Christians and conservatives and conservative Christians are ratcheting up the rhetoric trying to move Americans happily anticipating the inaugeration of President-elect Barack Obama. Proving unmoved by William Ayers and deaf to complaints about Jeremiah Wright the fear mongers have unabashedly moved onto Hitler and the Nazis. Yesterday Christian Compares Humanists to Nazis and today right-wing talk radio host Michael Savage unearths
the "former German member of the Hitler Youth, Hilmar von Campe" to draw parallels between Obama and Hitler.

Every day brings this nation closer to a Nazi-style totalitarian abyss. Today in America we are witnessing a repeat performance of the tragedy of 1933 when an entire nation let itself be led like a lamb to the Socialist slaughterhouse. This time, the end of freedom is inevitable unless America rises to her mission and destiny.

He continues,

Obama knows nothing about Germany. The national Socialists, called Nazis, come from the same Marxist/Socialist/Communist tree as he himself.

Comparing an opponent to Hitler and the Nazis is known as Godwin's Law, or reductio at Hitlerum, and anticipates the loss of the argument.

Obama Adopts White Baby

No, this isn't a Photoshop Disaster, Sasha and Malia's new dog only has three legs.

The above photo shows Obama with "Baby," a three-legged dog that lost its fourth limb following years of mistreatment at a California puppy mill. The toy poodle spent much of its life locked in a small wire cage. The breeders cut out Baby's vocal chords so that they would not have to hear her cries. In cages next to her, other dogs literally went insane, spinning repetitively with blank stares. Still others were gravely ill, maimed and had filthy, matted coats. A number was tattooed on the inside of Baby's ear, marking her as just one of many dogs at the mill.

As an animal lover and rescuer myself, and one who cannot bear to hear Sarah McLachlan singing over photos of shelter dogs, this story mad me cry my own tears into my coffee.
