This caption doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but who cares? BUNNIES!!1!
I read a bizarre diatribe on one of the political stories in the local paper’s online section which said that Barack Obama was the Antichrist. I believe that people have been accusing their political opponents of being the Antichrist since the whole Avignon “multiple Popes at once” thing, and so far none of the people so accused have turned out to be the Antichrist. You’d think people would learn—but they don’t. It is always tempting to say that the people you disagree with are evil, when in all probability they’re being backed by different players than you are. Or they’re just stupid. There’s plenty of stupid to go around.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI tried the link for the Obama article; it didn’t work. Maybe it’s been taken down already? I read that 12% of the electorate think Obama is a Muslim. For some of those, it probably not a great leap to the Antichrist.
Weekly World News published an article in 2001 on how to tell if your boss is the Antichrist. One criterion: The Antichrist never takes off his shoes in public. Presumably, he doesn’t want you to see his cloven hooves.
I can adapt this to a problem for my logic classes: I have never seen Obama without his shoes on. Can I logically conclude that Obama is the Antichrist?
The link is to the main page, because I couldn’t find the article that I was referencing. It was actually published a couple of weeks ago, and I didn’t bookmark it. There are a ton of Obama articles, and scanning the comments for each one is an exercise in mindless tedium.
There are a bunch of people in the office. I’ve only seen a couple of them take their shoes off. This must mean the office is full of Antichrists. OH NOES! PANICK!!!1! *ahem*.
