Hamster Wheel of the Day

Remember the apocryphal story circulating the news and internet about Clinton staffers performing all sorts of pranks as they left the White House?

I'm Australian, and it's worth noting that John "Lying Rodent" Howard was so reviled by the electorate, that not only did his party suffer a massive swing and lose power at the 2007 election, but he lost his own seat.

When Frasier relays the details of this dream to his brother (a fellow psychiatrist) Niles wryly asks, “Are there images of cigars, bananas, or short, blunt swords?” This deadpan joke about Freudian latency in my opinion describes the source of some people’s animosity and criticism of President Obama. The vitriol goes back nearly two years when Senator Obama began his run for the presidency. People all over the country during the primary season and through the general campaign expressed their concern about the possibility of someone like Obama becoming President. Once he was elected, these feelings metastasized into the Birther movement for those people whose bigotry stands out overtly. For others who congregate in Tea P
