The Spectacle Blog
The Time blogger previously known as Anonymous writes that Obama is already winning the War on Terror:
The Zawahiri letter is one of the first real indications we have of the new international state of affairs (the Ahmadinejad letter of congratulations may also have been a good sign, but was leavened by the author's lack of real power and the fact that he's running for reelection). The terrorists are now exposed as racists, on top of everything else. We have many miles to go in Afghanistan and the northern and western precincts of Pakistan, and more blood to shed--and innumerable ways to screw up, since no one has ever gotten Afghanistan right--but the wind seems to have shifted slightly and is now at our back.
Translation: Terrorists have killed innocent civilians by the thousands, decapitated living human beings, and used woman and children as suicide bombers, but two wars and seven years of struggle by troops from America and around the world have not stopped them. Yet now that Obama has exposed them as racists, victory is within sight!

When they murdered thousands of American civilians in sensless terror, we sort of got a bad feeling about those guys. But they really let their guard down now. Using a racial epithet? These folks need a good stern talking to.

Thank God the wind is shifting! Thank God for Barak Obama! Thank God that, within ten minutes of taking office, he'll transform the entire cosmos into being as safe and serene as south-side Chicago! Thank God, too, for the invention of Dramamine, because walking on water always makes me feel a tad nauseous.......

What's really disheartening about this blog entry, apparently written by Joe Klein, is that there are 45 replies to it, and from my quick scan through them, virtually everyone is in robotic nodding assent.
Something in the water does not compute.

You mean we didn't know they were racists? I guess that little detail gets lost amidst other facts like 'murderers', 'terrorists', 'fascists', 'extremists', etc...

So.... letter of congratulations from Iran's nutty president? Good sign for Obama!
Letter insulting Obama from nutty terrorists? Good sign for Obama!
I suppose videos praising Obama's election from nutty terrorists are also good signs for Obama. Everything is, really.

That's because Barack Obama is your new bicycle, dontchaknow.
http://barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com/
Just click on each thing that's good about Barack for yet another.
Apparently this site was set up by a guy whose wife (they're both bicycle enthusiasts) got about as obsessed by Obama as she used to about a new bicycle. The author is apparently also an Obama supporter -- but the site really illustrates the ga-ga mindset of the Obama-nae of Obama-bots. And not in a good way, IMHO.
We have our first American Idol president.
