    When I think of Obama, I immediately think of Cassandra

    She spoke the truth, and no one would believe her, about the impending doom. She probably wondered -- when will everyone wake up from this weird drug-induced hallucination that everything is going to be great?

    Or I think of Bacchus and his entranced followers dancing in the forest, and ripping to shreds any male that dare interrupt their ritual.

    He makes me want to go stand on a street corner and pass out pamphlets about the impending apocalypse.

    I am completely baffled by the fact the groups that make up Obama's core supporters -- college-educated, making more than $50k, have fallen for his tired bromides and vague promises that will never come true, that they think Messiah will bring everyone together through some sort of magic peace dust.

    Sometimes I feel like the only sane person around.
