Harassing Calls from Obama Supporters in PA Need to Stop

Since I have posted some dissenting views to Obama's nomination on myDD, based on the fact that a) he does not have a comprehensive health care coverage plan and this affects me directly and b) I have had Department of Labor disputes with an associate of Senator Obama that I have had to escalate to the Federal level because institutions in the State of Illinois are not taking action against anyone related to the Senator who are engaged in illegal activity. I have a right to protect my rights and get back wages I am owed.

Maybe those of you who are harassing me and have rich parents don't really understand what it is like to be bilked out of two months pay. I have a right to fight for my wages.

I want to let all the Obama supporters out there who I have told to stop contacting me with your threats. I don't want to talk to you. You ruined that relationship when I was working with you on the campaign in PA. Your elitism blew it for Obama. I have now escalated this no contact by contacting the police about this.

Maybe some of Obama's people out there do not know what it is like to not have health insurance or what it is like to actually be poor and pay for school on your own. That gives you no right to harass anyone who does not have the same degree of opportunity that you have in life and expresses their views freely about it.

This is the kind of behavior that is dividing the party. Harassing people when you have been told not to contact is illegal.

Obama campaign, your supporters are getting you into trouble. I have made a complaint to the DNC today.

My battle buddy from the Army is working for the McCain campaign. If Obama's campaign does not intervene immediately, in addition to escalating these issues, I will take all the dirt directly to him.

Quite frankly, most of the Obama people do not behave any differently than entitled Republicans and that is what is pissing off Hillary people.

Stop calling my phone. You know who you are.

I am about to undergo serious surgery for removal of a cyst, paying for it is a concern and it has attuned me to the issue of national health care and the lack of a plan coming from the Obama camp. I have a right to do that.

You youngsters need a good spanking so you can get some sensitivity in your blood.

A Strategy for Hillary Supporters

If Barack Obama does end up getting the nomination, Hillary Supporters need to have their issues heard.

I know that, for myself, if Barack Obama does not adopt a more comprehensive plan for universal health care that covers adults, I will vote for McCain. That is my sticking point and if he cannot differentiate himself with a more robust plan, then there really is no difference in my mind.

Many of us who support Hillary are far more nuanced on the issues because we have been in this game longer. The elitist accusations of the Obama camp are also largely true -- but this can all change.

If Barack Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee, then he at least needs to adopt some issues that are tride and true Democratic issues. He also needs to separate himself from the corruption in Chicago. I mean, we are talking about a city where my stepbrother got special treatment in his rape case because his mother was a state employee. In another instance, when he came into my house and stole things from me, his mother showed the arresting officer her State of Illinois identification card and they let him go.

He went on to rape a woman a month later.

We have genuine concerns about Senator Obama. What will happen to all of the investigations into corruption in Chicago if he is president? Will we sit four more years without any plan for comprehensive health care?

At the very minimum, if he cannot adopt a more comprehensive plan for health coverage, we should en masse, vote for McCain to show the Democratic Party that we want a candidate with a difference.

There are many things that I like about Senator Obama. However, he does seem elitist in that he does not really extend a conversation to the full span of Democratic Party supporters. Many on his campaign staff have been downright rude, elitist and condescending. The Penn students who advanced the campaign in Pennsylvania flaunted their sense of entitlement. They absolutely refused to do any outreach to areas outside of Philadelphia when I brought them organizers from rural Pennsylvania colleges. That is a fact.

Some things need to change with the Obama camp if we are to get on board with change. I'd like to but I and others need to see a few changes.

I have worked most of my life as an art director in advertising. I will be developing a series of marketing pieces centered around rallying Senator Obama taking on some of the core issues that made us Hillary supporters. I will be posting these materials online as well as form letters for us to send to the DNC and to his campaign.

And this is Democracy, Obama supporters, we have every right to rally around dissenting issues without harassment - especially and issue as important as Universal health coverage.

I can be contacted at editor@zeitgeistreport.com. I will send a link to the website with the materials over the weekend and also post it here on Mydd on Tuesday of next week.

How to be Patriotic and Left-Wing: A story for unsure Democrats

I write this letter to my countrymen with a true passion for the possibilities this country can produce because I am a testimony to those possibilities. I want to explain how one can be left and patriotic at the same time.

We sit at one of the most important junctures in our experiment with Democracy and our tampering with the possibilities of human existence beyond birthright. I write this letter with true patriotism in my heart and an appeal for others to act on that existential, unblemished patriotism.

First, let me tell you who I am. Let me tell you what America has produced in me.

I tell this story because I received one of the most fearful calls today that one could ever hope to receive: the call from a medical facility that I have a cyst on my brain. That cyst is accumulating liquid around it. While there is a possibility that it has been caught early and is operable, the existentialist heart and mind - an urge between Kierkegaard's Christian existentialist and Sartre's secular humanist existentialist - I have developed intellectually because of the possibilities this great country has produced drives me to write this tribute.

My biological mother was a heroin addict. I was taken away from her and adopted by her social worker. My mother recovered from her addiction and went on to live a productive life that provided most of the savings for the part of my college education that I did not pay. She worked for my education despite the fact that the so-called system took me away from her. Her blood and my biological father's blood came from so-called oppressed people: my father being a Puerto Rican of Black skin and my mother, a mixed Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jew with the last name of Starkman. My mother's parents rejected her because my father was black but she spent her whole life still fighting for the possibilities that I could achieve.

I was blessed by God to have survived inutero addiction - three days on life support as an infant  - and went on to attend grammar and high school enrolled in gifted and talented programs and honors courses.

In third grade, I learned about the importance of civil disobedience in the history of the United States from a Mexican-American grammar school principal. I believe this is the story where my love affair with America starts, and this is not just because the daughter of migrant worker is the notch I can carve on my heart as my first childhood kiss.

During the wintertime at grammar school, our class would send letters, along with corrected homework, to the children of the Cortez and Lopez families in Texas. In the spring and early fall, the children of these families attended our grammar school. In the winter, they left for warmer climates where they would - as early as eight years old - join their parents picking crops in farmers' fields. Our principal presented this situation as a fact of everyday life, a normal course for some children. After all, most of my classmates came from Polish, Serbian and Bosnian parents who worked in Chicago's steel mills and they had dropped out of school to support their families. These parents repaired their cars at the garage shops of Black shade tree mechanics and gave us drunk lectures about the ethos of patronizing the businesses of `good black people' - at least, that was the regular lecture we received from the Polish truck-driving father of my friend Tommy. "They are like immigrants but no one calls them that," he would say.

Then one day, men in black trench coats were going to come to our class to see if the Cortez and Lopez children were really attending classes at our school. Yes, Immigration and Naturalization Service actually wore black trench coats.
The day before they came, the principal of the school pulled aside every single brown skinned child in the school and told them that the next day, they were going to have to lie - lie to the government. I was pulled aside and so was my friend who had parents who came from Lebanon. I was told by the principal that the next day at school that when the teacher took attendance, I was to raise my hand when the teacher called the name `Juan Cortez.'

At lunchtime that same day, that principal came to our classrooms and explained what the brown-skinned people in the class were going to do the next morning. He explained to us that in third grade, we would be breaking the law by lying to the INS. He also explained the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, he explained that he had marched with Cesar Chavez and he explained what it meant to him to be a Vietnam Veteran - he explained to us at that small age that to participate in civil disobedience was to participate in Patriotism.

I will never forget raising my hand, shaking, and saying `here' as the teacher called a name that wasn't me. I will never forget looking the immigration agent in the eye as I broke the law so my friend Juan - a friend I walked home from school with everyday in the warm months - could beat the statistic of most migrant workers who never make it past the sixth grade. I don't know about Juan but his cousin, Leticia, who was the first girl I ever kissed, graduated from college.

This is the sort of experience with the United States I have in my soul.

That same principal would pull me aside every morning I was teased for being part black by older students and tell me, "you can do well at school no matter what color you are, don't forget that. The people who hate you are the ignorant ones."
When I moved from that district and began to attend a parochial school where the math teacher asked me, "What does a little black boy like you need with math?" I took the fortitude seeded by my first principal and the single mothers of my friends from that first school into that battle. I still managed to maintain a B average despite being beat every day for the color of my skin.
After having my hair lit on fire at that parochial school, I transferred to Thornwood High School, taking a bus from out of district and ditching police who were trying to catch African-Americans students at the end of the bus line who were using illegal addresses to attend a school where they could escape gang violence in the city.

When I went to Thornwood, the school was under going  a drastic racial  change. Instead of running from the problem, the administration came up with the edict of `Dare to Care' as the school motto where the more privileged students were given the directive to help the less fortunate academically and socially. I am proud to say that my Alma matter boasts a 96% graduation rate at a 75% African-American school with 38% of students at the school from households below the poverty line.

At the school, I had the same coach as Eddy Curry of the Knicks, Coach Gary Haupert. I was reminded of what `Dare to Care' means when I read Coach Haupert's detailed notes from track and cross country meets, a single page for every meet, written to every player where he related our victories on the field to academic and personal victories. He told me how running with asthma was an allegory for overcoming life's difficulties.

How can one be disillusioned with America or the possibilities for American education with leaders like that in one's life? I never knew Yale or the University of Wisconsin, Madison even existed until I met my teachers at Thornwood. My adoptive parents did not guide my applications to top schools nor were the applications to Harvard of my honors classmates guided by parents - my public school teachers did that because parents could not.
These were teachers who not only introduced us, the sons and daughters of working class folk, to the possibilities of the United States but also the criticism of its shortcomings and better realities by introducing us to the writings of Jim Kunstler, pre `Clusterfuck Nation.' The smiley faced water towers on his first website were my everyday reality. They were the subject of a thesis by a Yale art school graduate my art teacher used to boast about, (hence the Kunstler reference on the site.) "The people at Yale were aghast when they saw those towers." She had dedicated her life to pushing the sons and daughters of steelworkers beyond their mundane possibilities and this involved cajoling us out of our comfort zone - a great American tradition that has bred upward mobility.

As the results of the great Americans I have known, toiling for the less fortunate, I have had the privilege of working with Anthony Shadid of the Washington Post, a man so dedicated to the American experiment of Democracy that he dreams of the same possibility in the Middle East in his book "Legacy of the Prophet." I have been able to sit four chairs away from Anna Wintour of Vouge, covering fashion shows for a New York newspaper. Many of my privileged leftist friends look at fashion as superficial. They have never had the real privilege to understand the possibilities of identity encapsulated in fashion for a poor, young black gay man from a Chicago ghetto who sees American fashion as a symbol of American freedom as some of my childhood friends did.

Getting on the list for J. Mendel's Bryant Park show is a large leap where I come from: a leap a Brixton youth or Mexico City youth would never had due to classist attitudes in other countries.

Every year, especially under the Bush administration, I have seen those same type of dreams dwindle. I could blame it on Republicans but that would be unfair as I have also gotten many breaks from Republicans who take the American dream to heart. It would also be unfair because I have seen a nefarious elitism infiltrate the Democratic Party as well. It belies the tradition that gave myself and Juan Cortez possibility in America.
When I did my first college internship at Leo Burnett advertising agency an art director there told me, `the America I grew up in did not penalize you for being poor and trying to do better." I have seen that creep in my own life.

My battle with health care has been made fun of by elitists who call themselves liberals. My battle to pay for an education has met with dismissive ears by those who use issues for their own advancement. I have seen a general depersonalization that is more an embodiment of the Reagan attitude than the Democratic Party.
When I joined the Army, I did so because my sense of patriotic duty was so deep I felt I needed to stand with countrymen in a war I disagreed with. I also was motivated by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. I signed up to be a 74 Delta so I could evacuate New York in the event of a terrorist attack. Blind faith? Maybe. But a blind faith I am proud of and backed by the stories I have told.

Recently, I have had to deal with employers who have not paid me and upon requesting  justice, I have found a system so convoluted and so cynical, the reverberations of these lapses in the rule of law on the individual patriot were deemed unimportant. This is an unfamiliar America to me. This is part and parcel of corruption in Chicago but moreover, it is the product of George Bush's American government that just doesn't work, period. It has begun to mirror the stories my Mexican friends have told me about their government - that is a comparison they have made in the past 8 years.
(See Financial Times article:)

It saddens me that this is an acceptable state of affairs to many and I suppose that this is because we have been hammered into an isolated country where every person for his or herself is the only acceptable way of life, despite the human toll.

As we as Democrats to the polls in November, think of these stories and claim your patriotism.

How my Health Care Changed my Mind About Obama

I got a call today from Underwood Hospital that told me a CAT Scan had discovered a cyst on my brain. I just got insurance, though my university but I don't know if it will cover the operation.

Fortunately, I had started a business with a woman in the United Kingdom a number of years ago. While the business never worked out, I am still eligible to use the NHS there, which is where I will probably go for the operation as I don't trust the fine print insurance in the United States.

This got me to thinking about the fact that we are about to give into a nominee for the Democratic Party who has no mandatory plan for adults to have health insurance. He basically has no plan at all if one considers the fact that his plan to cover children is basically already in effect in most states as the CHIP program. It is kind of a cop out.

One never thinks of that unless one is faced with a situation like mine.

But it gets more personal than that and this is why I am asking those of you out there who know that Hillary is the better nominee to rally the DNC NOT to nominate Obama.

I had been without any insurance after the company owned by a friend of Barack Obama -- the childhood neighbor of Jesse Jackson Jr., Kendall Lewis -- cheated me out of two months of wages. When I was hired by this company, Cherryone Web Design, I was lied to about eventual health insurance. Because I had to go into my savings after not being paid wages, I could no longer affect the individual insurance on my own.

I went to the University of Wisconsin on a full Pell Grant. I was born to a mother who was a heroin addict. In addition to pursuing a graduate degree now, I work for a program in North Philadelphia that teaches entrepreneurship to teenagers. In addition, I have been helping one of those teens found an organization which she seeded the idea for: a program which provides peer counseling, psychiatry and legal counsel to inner city teens who are in the criminal justice system and want to turn their life around. The program would also provide exposure for inner city teens to the legal profession.

Evidently, I am not change enough for Barack Obama to provide health insurance to as an adult. I guess I needed a mother who worked for the Ford Foundation and a father who might have been absent but had a position at Harvard to pay for my tuition to Columbia.

When I filed a complaint with the Department of Labor in Illinois against Cherryone, I was never called back by the judge for a scheduled hearing. There seems to be a pattern of this kind of thing in Chicago, as long as a person has an association with Barack Obama. Cherryone a company which has 72 separate complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau and has 19 complaints with the Chicago Police for credit card fraud. Even Michael Jordan's old personal photographer has complained to the police about money they stole from him.

I was not going to pursue charges with the Public Corruption division of the FBI because I would have had to name the possibility that the Obama campaign had been preventing investigations in Chicago which might have stained the campaign. Now I have to think of my own health and what the corruption in Chicago has meant to my life.

I have gotten wind of other individuals who have filed charges against his campaign. I plan to do the same.

Barack Obama is just another Chicago pol as myself and others have been asserting on Mydd. I tried to subjugate to his popularity and hope for the best but the corruption in Chicago eventually affects real people and I am one of them.

Obama's backers have been callous to this fact, reinforcing the elitist claim.

I believe that if Barack Obama is nominated and wins the presidency, there will be scandals in Chicago that will come out too late in the game. Those people like myself who have addressed these issues with his campaign - and I addressed this personally with the former aide to Congressman Lipinski at his condo in Washington, DC - have not even found a concerned ear in his campaign.

Again, Senator Obama's campaign, the corruption in Chicago affects real people. Why should I just stand by and accept this without your campaign answering this robustly?

I will be writing a letter to this effect to the DNC. I encourage the other last-standers for Hillary to do the same.

If Obama's campaign finally addresses the fact that individuals involved with the senator are involved in unsavory activity that belies the 'for the people' legacy of the Democratic Party. This is why Hillary is fighting so hard for the nomination.

I am going to take this experience as a last-stand reason to fight for her.

Obama needs to directly let Democrats know that he will work against the corruption in Chicago, even if it means that he has to break relationships there. If he cannot promise us that, those of us who were for Hillary should fight for her tooth and nail.

Obama must answer to corruption. I am one person who is going to ask that Federal authorities investigate his campaign stopping investigations into cases to halt questions about his friends.

I am sorry to do this but ultimately, in the world the Regan created, we have to stick up for ourselves. Obama is certainly not the candidate who wants to change that Malthusian climate.

I can't wait to watch all the Obama people start making fun of me because of the cyst. Send those to the DNC as well.

What was never said about Wright and Race by The Media

Sometimes, maybe all the time, average people are smarter than the media elite talking heads.

I want to bring up the question why didn't more white voters fall away from Obama in Indiana, as the media commentators seemed to have predicted.

What was never discussed as far as the perspective of Rev. Wright - and this is why I believe it didn't have as much impact as the beltway blowhards thought - is he comes from and preached in an extremely segregated city.

I think the reason so many Americans were not as impacted by the Obama association to Wright was, in private conversations, people contextualized where he was coming from as far as American black anger. In private conversations, I think many people resolved that the anger he projected was unique to the City of Chicago, a place where one still sees a great deal of racial separation, even in social situations.

Wright gave many pause and it might have hurt Obama more if he was actually from Chicago born and bred.

I believe the polls reflected a temporary turning away from Obama because of Wright but when all was said and done, the close race in Indiana revealed that many returned back to supporting Barack.

I do not think the question, in the case of Indiana or Pennsylvania is 'why didn't Barack close the deal?' Pennsylvania reflected voters questioning Obama from the perspective of hidden racial resentment and covert anti-Americanism. Had Indiana's primary been held in the same week, I think Hillary would have won even more handily.

What I think we are seeing with Barack Obama is a trend where voters who may feel typically uncomfortable with him hesitating at the shock of certain unfamiliarities but then they eventually feel comfortable supporting him. I think the trend of atypical Obama supporters becoming typical will advance as the general election nears.

One other observation that the media failed to make is many of the Northwestern counties in the Hoosier state that ended up supporting Obama are repositories for white suburban flight from Chicago. Many Illinois relocates there come from the famously segregated South Suburbs and fled suburbs like South Holland in the late 1990s. Most of these counties are solidly Republican, solidly evangelical Christian, like Lake County, and the Democratic race will not reflect the proper voting patterns in any way as many dyed in the wool Republicans stayed home as their candidate has already been chosen. Given these counties composition and history, Obama really did remarkably well.

What really needs to be discussed as the general election nears is Obama's conversion factor.

If a battery of crazy African-American ministers continues to come out and dominate the Obama chatter, a new one every month alongside another Obama associate with polarizing left-wing views, the Democrats will have a problem. This is the fear of many Hillary supporters and super-delegates. At the same time, Obama's ability to brush off these marginal characters and disassociate himself from them should also be taken into consideration.

As a Hillary supporter playing devil's advocate I have to ask myself will she do as well brushing aside Bill's long list of absurd second term clemencies which include a long list of outright crooks.

Overall, I think we can say that America has reasoned away Wright because I think, to a large degree, in our private conversations that the media isn't privy to, these things are being contextualized. Wright's segregated Chicago does not reflect America as it is today, especially it's other urban centers, Texas included.

Lots of those white rural voters have sons and daughters in the military. On those bases, those white rural, elderly votes have mixed race grandchildren - unlike many of the upper class media types who have nary a black friend. They don't even chill with John McWhorter, he's even too black for them.

There is a big part of the story being left out and as the Dems choose a nominee, these stories will become the currency being discussed behind closed doors as votes continue to split down the middle.

This is why citizen blogs are going to become so important in choosing the nominee. We are the only people close enough to reality these days to report it right...or Wright. Choose which one.

GOP Got Names of People Tipping FBI in Chicago Investigations

In 2003, I assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigations in an inquiry into money stolen from a Federally funded program by employees of the Latino-based non-profit I worked for at the time.

I was one of the people who was required to verify the use of the funds to the Department of Education. About three weeks after I began to meet with investigators, I received a call from a member of the Illinois Republican Party who wanted me to meet with her in Oak Forest, Illinois about any associations these people had with Democratic candidates.

I have no idea how the GOP got my name but they were seeking information on Democratic elected officials who had ties to suspected members of the FALN and the Puerto Rican independence movement so they could use the information as election dirt.

The reason I am bringing this up is because alleged associations between FALN members and Barack Obama has begun to appear on a number of right wing blogs. As many politicos know, Illinois is the state-side hotbed for the Puerto Rican independence movement and it is almost impossible to deal with leaders of the Latino community without dealing with members of the Independence Party.

I can tell any reader here from personal experience with these people Barack Obama has avoided any associations with Puerto Rican Independence people like the plague - it is the reason he lost half of the Latino vote in Chicago.

For all intensive purposes, when the GOP operative contacted me, I was a criminal informant. I have no idea how they got my information but I do consider it a breach of security.

I suspect as the Right tries to advance this issue into the general election, we are going to hear about members of the GOP getting a hold of information in regards to Federal investigations that was supposed to be protected. They have been trying to advance the FALN issue since the 2004 election.

Most of the individuals who have been under investigation since 9/11 reside on the island of Puerto Rico and have nothing to do with the Clintons or Obama. I have seen blogs, including the DailyKos, that have tied the group to both Democratic front runners. Here are a  few:

http://conservablogs.com/velvethammer/20 08/02/26/obamessiahs-church-terrorist-sy mpathisers/
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/19/ 205334/656/131/499210
http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp ?art_id=12909
http://flapsblog.com/?cat=431

The people who stole money from the non-profit I worked for -- run by Governor Ed Rendell's Banking Secretary, Lydia Hernandez -- had no political affiliation. Instead, they used the presence of Puerto Rican Independence sympathizers as a front for stealing the funds because these non-political individuals knew that any Federal investigation would be diverted automatically to 'independistas.'

I do not know if the GOP contacted others who were involved in the last string of investigations - theft of Federal Funds was reported in seven cities according to the agents I worked with - but they most certainly contacted me and promised me favors if I could give them information tying the investigation to elected Democrats in Illinois.

I felt the need to peep this after I saw this issue begin to grow on the Republican blogs. I have known for a while that the Right Wing was going to use this as a major issue, implicating Democrats are sympathetic with terrorism. I walked off my job at the New York Sun after the former immigration reporter published an article, mostly plagiarized directly from two articles I had translated for her to use as sources. The she wrote article tried to implicate that Puerto Rican independence activists who have advocated violence were similar and equal to Al Queda. As a Puerto Rican, I found that offensive. Furthermore, it was an insensitive treatment of an issue that is complex and very sensitive to our community.

I disagree with violence as a means for Puerto Rico's freedom but I also disagree with using a sensitive subject in a glib manner for political ends.

We will see more misuse of the FALN cases. I am posting this to specifically answer to the fact that Barack Obama has nothing to do with these people in Chicago.

I have also been waiting for the day to spring this on the GOP. How in the heck did they get informant's names or anyone cooperating with Federal investigators on cases?

I found it problematic back then and still find it problematic.

I am posting this so that anyone can use this testimony to counter any further blog postings associating Democrats directly with the FALN.

There are Puerto Rican politicians who deal with independence operatives but they are from both parties because the issue of independence is a major issue on the island of Puerto Rico, it cannot be avoided for the sake of seeming patriotic; that would be like avoiding Pharma lobbyists on K street.

Our biggest enemy in this election is the Right Wing half truth machine. Let's counter it however we can.

Obama's Common Sense Talk on Gas Tax is What Won It For Him

The media will most likely not give credit to Obama's stance against the gas tax holiday as the cause of his win in North Carolina and narrowing the margin against Hillary in Indiana but that is what brought him back from the losses in Pennsylvania.

Ask any trucker or logistics expert and they will tell you that the U.S. infrastructure is in shambles. By taking a stand against the gas tax holiday, Barack Obama became the only candidate to address this important issue of America's infrastructure.

As a Hillary supporter, I was pretty disappointed in her pandering and expected this to affect her showing.

This is an election where the American people want straight talk and people are expecting to have to tighten their belts in the next eight years. As a matter of fact, I would say that people are ready to see the country move out of the era of senseless greed and into one of collective sacrifice; the former has not made us a very happy group of people.

At least we can say that we're not like the Brits who voted out a great Mayor of London, Ken Livingston, like a bunch of big babies because they wanted more credit and wanted to stick it to Gordon Brown for not giving it to them.

This victory was, in many ways, a sign of the American electorate maturing.

Let's just hope now that it seems that Barack Obama has sealed the nomination that he won't be assailed by the right-wing arsenal of attacks that have been prepared for him in the general election.

I also look forward to seeing the sequel to "Obama: The Post-modern Coup." I want to find out how the Pritzger family fits into the Obama conspiracy rubric.

Congrads to the Obama camp. That SOB better not forget the South Side when he gets to the White House. How about a Harold's Fried Chicken, a Docks Fish, a Leon's Ribs and a Los Comales Tacos all opening up in DC as the first Obama executive order?

Obama will win because has better conspiracy theories behind him

I have this theory about who will win the presidency: the person who has the greater amount of wackier conspiracy theories floating in the ether about him or her will win the presidency. It seems that the book "Obama: The Postmodern Coup" has made the mainstream light of day. Evidently, the Jews, The Ford Foundation and Zbigniew Brzezinksi (whoever the hell that is) are behind his candidacy.

My sick sense of humor wants to see him win just so we can see more crazy ideas see the light of day and so we can see how crazy the ideas can get.

I do have one question: do conspiracy theorists deliberately employ horrible graphic design for their book covers or do they just not know any better?

The Ford Foundation, that's rich.
