Reflections From a Murky Pond

In days gone by American men went to the barbershop for their basic grooming needs. It was a ritual of sorts, if placed within the context of postmodern neo-primitive spirituality, a “male mystery.” There American men gathered at the barbershop, bonded with each other, and “talked of affairs,” largely irregardless of their relative social position or beliefs.

This could, if this ritual had survived to the modern day, have led to some interesting conversations…

George Bush and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barber shop.

As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.

As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Obama in his chair reached for the aftershave.

Obama was quick to stop him saying, “No thanks, my wife Michelle will smell that and think I’ve been in a whorehouse.”

The second barber turned to Bush and said, “How about you, sir?”

Bush replied, “Go ahead. My wife doesn’t know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.”

Yep. It might have led to some odd exchanges indeed.

Many people believe that Obama is a Muslim. His shills declare that he’s Christian. His choice of pastors is evidence that he’s a cultists of Black Liberation Theology. Yet some few of us think his religion is based upon personal spirituality.

One thing I find certain though; Obama is deeply committed to the core tenets of his chosen faith.

And Thou Shalt Blame Bush For Thy Failings

Well…So many people gravitate to religions that make them feel good and Obama just found one with tenets he could work with.

Vindication, much like revenge, is a dish best served cold. That is never more true than in politics.

The Vindication of President Bush

Obama and the domestic enemy of America can shuck and Jive all that they want to, but that sort of political tap dancing won’t change the simple fact that Obama couldn’t have successfully ordered Osama in Laden’s extermination without all the groundwork that was laid by President George Bush Jr. and which Obama either chose to- or was forced to by his campaign coterie to abide by.
