For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Obamessiah mocked by British columnist!

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

Is the media marriage moving towards an ugly divorce? Has the ether finally worn off, and press members once enamored with the illusion that was the Obamessiah are now recognizing there's nothing underneath the nicely pressed suit? ns
