...So now, we have the main feature. Obama the alien being, a Muslim in reel one, a radical Christian in reel two, a liberal non-bowling elitist in reel three and, next, now, the ultimate culmination that only sputniks, UFOs, mushroom clouds and Rosa Parks could deliver. Attack of the 50 Foot Negro. There goes the galaxy.

...Leave be those small-town voters who may or may not be "bitter" about getting the shaft for the last 30 years. It's Hillary and Kristol who are apoplectic that their particular Boomer projects straddling two American centuries just haven't been the Moonshots they'd hoped for. They've got nukes. And Flag pins. And the 50-foot Commie-Alien with a real map to the moon must pay.
