So, Barack Obama has not (yet) been revealed as America's new alien lizard overlord in disguise, or even the Antichrist. (Will the Antichrist be capable of placing his/her hand on a Bible, I wonder? Maybe he can, but with wisps of smoke emerging from under his palm.)
But enough silliness, and no further snide remarks (apart from saying that the largely unseen invocation prayer by Gene Robinson a couple of days ago really was outstandingly awful,) and instead let's all be happy that the most powerful nation on earth remains a robust democracy which manages transitions of power peacefully and with considerable grace.
Hear hear. About this time two years ago lefties were all speaking darkly about George Bush wanting to become a dictator and not holding elections, and now I'm seeing a few righties beginning to talk the same way. Statements like this are shrill, hysterical and absurd, and bear no relation to the truth. Good luck to Obama, he'll need it.
