Its a great irony (at least, to me) that the Greatest Islamophobic State in the world today is most likely going to elect a black President in this coming November (trust me, McCain will not win, not by a long shot). I wonder what the missionaries, Christian xenophobes and Islam-haters in the country has to say to that notion of thought happening.
Very interesting read indeed from Alexander Cockburn about the realities of “modern” America. Note especially this:
…the suicide rate among middle-aged Americans has reached its highest point in at least 25 years. The rate rose by about 20 per cent between 1999 and 2004 for those aged 45 through 54 - far more than among younger adults, whose own suicide stats are also on the rise.
The previous high was in 1982, a year when there was a terrible farm crisis in the Midwest.
Look at me doing the jig after reading the news that Obama has won. Now that its confirmed that Obama has won the Iowa contest. I have a good feeling about this win. I think the people of the United States of A are going to see their first African-American President (and a Democrat to boot) after that stupid Elephant fool in the White House leaves office when his term expires.
If it wasn’t obvious to you before, it certainly is now. Its not that we do not know about this Christian State before, but this is certainly damning evidence.
