Obama killed his ex-wife and slaughters puppies on the altar of Cthulhu…? Close but no cigar
They say there is no rest for the wicked.
Not that I’m saying Obama is wicked but the world sure won’t leave him alone – and it’s not just things that have to do with his new job.
No, like any successful sports star, the commercial world at large is more interested in his selling abilities than in his actual performance.
In Obama’s case, that means that he is asked to endorse even more products than O.J. Simpson was before he killed his wife.
Ex-wife, I mean. So, Nicole – not Michelle. I know the W.W.W. is the favourite place to launch and breed all the new paranoid conspiracy stories but I’m not suggesting Obama killed his wife, or any or all of the ex-wives he may or may not have had.
As far as I know, he’s also not into buying puppies to slaughter them on the altar of the great God Cthulhu – although that does come close enough to the topic of today’s column, since one of the organisations that is seeking Obama’s endorsement is a church:
Along with the speculation on what kind of puppy Sasha and Malia will choose, where the kids will go to school (it’s Sidwell Friends), and, oh yes, who will be appointed to the White House staff and the Cabinet, the matter of where the Obamas will choose to worship is drawing a lot of interest in Washington and elsewhere.
One of the candidates could be the Washington National Cathedral. It’s the place where, in recent years, presidents have gone for the inaugural prayer service the day after being sworn in, where ex-presidents are mourned at their death. Until recently, the cathedral has been mainly a place where people from out of town have come to worship and marvel at the beauty of the stained-glass windows and exquisite stone carvings.
I’m not sure what the man himself thinks about the idea but the whole “Worship and marvel at the beauty” schmeer would work perfectly well for all those Obama worshipers, of course.
