Barack Obama, Episode Four?

George Lucas could easily be an Obama campaign manager.

…and fun for all

Strategy? Hyperpartisanism? Hey, why not call it fun? They do.

Jesus is late

So whom does one call when the Second Coming doesn’t come?

Last call for Cabinet positions

One wet Democratic finger in the wind.

“A duty owed to the American people”

A rare graceful note for the Clinton campaign.

“Barack Obama is your new bicycle”

No, really.

Enough Already With The Fucking Superdelegates

Mike Huckabee
185,592
31.5%

Mitt Romney
172,532
29.3%

Effective.
