One of our images born of the creative power of the masses (and delivered to us in full glory by Superkommissar Maksim) has been chosen to adorn a book cover in Italy. We have been contacted by the author Donatella Della Ratta and prepared a high-resolution image for her cover designer. We expect the books to arrive shortly and hope this is not some capitalist ruse but a mighty progressive blow at Western imperialism.
In English, it reads:
A Hussein in the White House
What the Arab world thinks of Barack Obama
We have just released a book -unfortunately, it is in Italian only for the moment- that analyses how Arab media -Tv stations, Panarab newspapers- but also people – bloggers, university students- have talked about Obama and the future challenges he will afford in the Arab world. I have edited the book with my colleague Augusto Valeriani, and we got very interesting countributions from all over the Arab world and US. The book, entitled “An Hussein at the White House. What the Arab world thinks about Barack Obama” (Odoya 2009), features essays from: italian-algerian sociologist Khaled Fouad Allam; Lawrence Pintak, director of the Kamal Adham Center for Television Journalism (American University of Cairo), and “his” bloggers; Amer Al Sabaileh, professor at the University of Amman, and his students; Jihad N. Fakhreddine, Gallup Regional Research Director for Mena Region; Adil Radoini, Italian sociologist invited to follow the elections in the US by US embassy in Rome; mass media expert Enrico De Angelis. Plus Augusto Valeriani, Associate research fellow at Arab media centre of Westminister University and myself.
The blog provides a link to the author's bio with the list of her books and publications:

Meow, I think that you are stuck in a fugue. No doubt from that ketamine that you stole.
You have forgotten Gaia, you silly commissar! Don't you know that if you forget Gaia the Holy Gore will come to your house, when he's not driving the Oscar Mayer Weeniemobile, and instruct you on the Sacred Rites of the First Church of Climatology?
Do not do this. I don't care about your defenses. You will never be able to withstand this.

HA! I DARE Al Gore to get to my compound err place of residence. While Meow's may not be able to withstand the AlGore, I'm well protected with my advance run of The People's Rifle in the hands of those who build them. Any person trying to get in will be faced by an unstoppable wall of steel! (All four loyal workers and peasants who are building them, assuming AlGore shows up during the shift change and everyone is on time and sober)
BTW, what does it mean when the workers demand a "paycheck"? Is not the State taking care of all their needs? Must I pay them too?
Comrade7.62, a paycheck is an outmoded notion. The State takes all and dispenses all--keeping 72% for expenses. (This is the actual welfare number.)
But do not be too sanguine about being able to stave off the attack of the Holy Gore. Who do you think taught His O'liness to levitate? He can rise on his wingéd feet and float, as gently as a dove, or a Roswell UFO*, over the walls of your compound and if you think that Pupovich is good with talent shitting, you ain't seen nothing yet.
*The Holy Gore was born a bit over eight months after the Roswell UFO sighting.

The theory is almost too perfect to be true. Barack Obama, the son of politically progressive parents, was born Aug. 4, 1961—almost nine months to the day after John F. Kennedy was elected to the White House. Is it possible Obama was conceived on that historic night?
She goes on about the masses making whoopee on the night of Obama's election victory, speculating on the delightful prospect of a baby boom come August 2009, with nary an unromantic mention of the burdens this will place on beleaguered Mother Earth and everyone suffering under a sucky economy.
And not a peep about a possible spike in abortions.
Pinkie, thank you for that image of Comradette Jessica Bennett. I'm sure that she's a SUS (Sister Under the Skin) of the woman who proudly proclaimed that she would be very glad to Monica Our First Black President, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.
I read your link and found Mrs. Haupt gushing about her husband Mr. Haupt having drunk a bottle and a half of wine and then wanting to make an election baby. I hope that Mrs. Haupt had some chemical help, for let us remember, I believe, Mercutio, about wine: "It makes a man stand to, and then not stand to." Although there are some Rethuglicans who say, completely without justification, that the O-bots are a bunch of broke-dicks. A group of Obama babies will put paid to that rumor.
I would be fascinated to see the maternity wards on nine months, if nine months is the proper gestation for a baby inspired by the beneficent aura of His O'liness. I hope that this is like one of those science-fiction television series where they all come out looking strangely alike, and starting in say six months (my guess) we will have our new Obamajugend ready to march into a future more equal, more just, and more perfect than any future that has ever been or will ever be in the history of time, until the universe, in a trillion years, collapses after even the electrons have degenerated into just a few photons.
But this raises a problem. Do we need to have dormitories for the brood-mares who will gestate these young princelings? They should be instantly taken into care and monitored by our finest OB/GYNs, lest one of the smoke or drink or cross the road and endanger one of the Obamajugend.
People, it seems, are waiting in line to buy hexerai about His O'liness. This may invigorate the printed press as people want keepsakes, and even coffee-table books, which will convince their co-religionists that they might after all be able to read, despite having going to public schools run by the teachers' unions.
But there is one thing that I'm not sure about. If January 20 was the Second Coming, does that mean that His O'liness was the product of a Virgin Birth? Which means that we don't know if he's black or not.
Snicker. These lower-level progressives. Totally unaware that it was the Media that Made Obama!
Double-Take...hold on, I am suspecting a capitalist plot. The Media made Obama...to further its own financial interests? We might as well have elected Ron Paul!
We must quickly inform the new world order of the potential influx of infidels prior to the winter solstice.
Ther must be a gov't sponsored catastrophy that will offset the population boom of the great one's people. We must also ensure that this tragedy of fortune is in a Rethuglican stronghold so that those votes can be changed from Red to Blue post-burial.
Dear Nansky, just call down to Duval County, Texas, which put Landslide Lyndon Johnson over the top after it was found how many votes he needed to win. They have voter-fraud kits.]
And they've gotten better now. When Landslide Lyndon got in, the needed votes were all in alphabetical order. They're randomized now.
Although it's less of a problem considering the years that the NEA has improved our education.

Ahh, The Gore levitates too? Crud. I must begin work on a People's Anti Aircraft Gun at once! Perhaps something with rubber bands and ball bearings wrapped in old copies of Pravda.
Comrades! Do not disesteem the Holy Gore! He is the most useful of useful idiots! Who else can keep Larry King so occupied?
Let us always remember the major use of the Holy Gore. He is a tried and true progressive, a child of Washington, a princeling of the Beltway, and everyone can look down on the fool.
Skinnee Jay, a Made Progressive declaims from the roof tops that diversity is all and that we ought to be free. But a Made Progressive instantly trashes any deviance from the Received Wisdom and the Current Truth, because lucubration is dangerous and thought is subversive. Only faith will do.
This is glorious for (1) does not Italy have the strongest Communist party in Europe, (2) will this not be a poke in the eye of Mussolini's daughter's fascist party, (3) isn't it right that Islam take over the Vatican that Mussolini made a separate entity, and (4) isn't it great that the guys up there in Milan, the ones who have voiced secession of northern industrial Italy and opposition to mass (Muslim especially) immigration be riled to the point of having strokes?
Audi! ("Now hear this!") We will never allow the secession of a functioning part of a country from one which does not function. If we do, next thing we know the EU will be jettisoning Greece, and we all know we can never be more than the lowest common denominator.
It is said that in Japanese elementary schools today, the best and worst athletic performers are prevented from taking part in PTA kids' sports events, which every school holds from time to time, lest someone win or lose by too much. Now, harmony (和, wa) is highly valued in Japan, but people are beginning to realize (I hope) it's gone far too far.
Sorry, not far enough: All participants should be tied together so they can either complete simultaneously or in clearly delineated equal intervals.
We have almost completely removed the true purpose of education (http://righteousrantings.blogspot.com/2009/01/edjumuhkashun-reform-part-3.html) and soon we will be indoctrinating the youth to our purposes!
Behold, the Cleansing of the Mind! Dissent becomes Intolerance, Free Speech becomes Hate Crime, and True Diversity becomes Social Stigma! The New Status Quo will be once again under siege by the New Sub-Culture of Conservatism (boo...hiss)!
It's all relative! Nothing can be seen as wrong! There is no such thing as evil! Multi-culturalism erases the hated evils of judgment from our society!
How I love moral relativism. All systems of belief are equally valid, so we don't have to have ethics. We can just have tastes and we can boo all the Rethuglicans who are bigoted and prejudiced for insisting on ethics. For that's just not on.
And since we believe that all systems are equal why not just be as hedonistic as we want? And when that gets boring, it's just a short trip to nihilism.
Frankly I think that we will continue on in time that is frozen, so that even the electronics stand still. Eventually before the end of the (elected) term of His O'liness entropy will continue to the point that even the electrons and neutrons decay and the entire universe will be composed of a few photons.
After that time we will see the rest of the Rose Law Firm billing records and we will have full disclosure about who paid for the college of His O'liness and where he was born.
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us--if at all--not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
Change the conjunction in the last line and it could be on a cenotaph for the Clinton White House.
Haven't read that since high school in 1973; and that, gentlemen, exhausts my knowledge of English poetry. Literally read more in Latin than English but I was struggling with the syntax and vocabulary of the Virgil and don't remember that.

Which, if I remember, is paradiorthosis of "I do not trust the Greeks, even bearing gifts."

And not a peep about a possible spike in abortions.
After Barack Obama won the presidential election on Nov. 4, 2008, supporters around the country celebrated in bars, in parks — and maybe, in the bedroom. Bloggers wrote about champagne and hope, and noting that voters of child-bearing age tended to go Democratic, predicted a baby boom.
Nine months later, babies born out of that election night euphoria should be making their way into the world right now. If an Obama baby boom is true, that is.
“It’s romantic idea," says Dr. S. Philip Morgan, a professor of sociology and demography at Duke University, "but don't bet on it."
Voters of childbearing age might tend to go Democratic, but Democratic voters of childbearing age would also be more prone to getting abortions, what with all that bad economy and unemployment stuff and whatever else might make another mouth to feed inconvenient right now.
Quote
While Obama won by a landslide in the electoral college, "by the popular vote, only 52 percent of the population was celebrating." The other 48 percent would have been affected in the opposite way and may have been in no mood for making whoopee.
. . .
Still, people like to speculate that somehow the memorable night of Nov. 4 was different. After all, Obama himself was born in August 1961, nine months after John F. Kennedy was elected in November 1960.
Because we all know that's exactly when--and why--Stanley Ann and Barack Sr. had the sex that resulted in Dear Leader!

I was born exactly nine months to the day after John Glenn's first orbital flight. My theory is that Mom and Dad, in a fit of patriotic fervor, had their own launch party. By strange coincidence, it was also one year to the day before Kenndey was assassinated. It was also Thanksgiving Day. That's why I'm special. Or a turkey.
The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans
of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent,
by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant
pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other -
until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's
official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
