From the Obama Messiah Watch desk, a dispatch from Alice Walker, the Tolstoy of our time, who warns that if America does not vote for Barack Obama, it will only show the world what a racist, backward country it remains:
If Obama were in any sense mediocre, he would be forgotten by now. He is, in fact, a remarkable human being, not perfect but humanly stunning, like King was and like Mandela is. He is the change America has been trying desperately and for centuries to hide, ignore, kill. The change it must have if we are to convince the rest of the world that we care about people other than our (white) selves.

ROFL! Oops! That should have been, "Obama". My Freudian Slip is showing.
Sweden do not have the worlds higest suiciderate rate!
It newer had, not ewen close! It is simply a rat in the pizza story!
I belive it originated with one of your presidents in the fiftis,
to score some domestic political point aganst welfare.
Forgive my english spelling.
Anyway, if Sweden did have the highest suicide rate, could you blame them? The government forces them all to watch Bergman films and listen to ABBA, constantly! It's like North Korea, except with meatballs in cream sauce!
(Kidding, kidding. I love me some Swedish meatballs. And Liv Ullmann. But not "Winter Light" and "Persona").
I kind of prefer my Bergman to your Woody Allan!
Oh sure -- Allen was never worse than when he tried to be an ersatz Bergman.
