Ace writes to opine that this Obama mash-up to Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” deserves far greater viewership than it’s received. Unfortunately, I still don’t know how to embed video here.

well..i do think that is more watchable better than mccain attemptin the beachboyz.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 7:47 am #
do u know wat else i noticed, Dan?
the ppl in Obamecstasy are mostly young…and attractive..as opposed to say, this.
this not a new divide in America– the young hip an pulchitrudinous vs the old, homely and heavy, hehe.

You forgot popular- all the cool kids like Obama.
Comment by Dan Collins on 3/22 @ 7:49 am #
Well, sure, nishi. Obamecstasy is a manifestation of the narcissism common to the young. After all, he wears a suit of mirrors.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 7:50 am #
hahaha, oh i lurvs u guyz.
gtg, rides here.
Comment by JD on 3/22 @ 7:56 am #
young and attractive? give me a break. we all saw your thighs nishi. plus, those patchouli smelling non-bathing Marxists running around like Baracky is the second coming are far from attractive, unless incense and BO is your thing.

Nice.
I think this one is brilliant…

I love that the video ended with the GK Chesterton quote “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything” … something I’ve said several times since Obama has moved from running for President to running for Messiah.

He may have the heart of the young now, but by God things’ll be different by the time he gets out of the Army. He’ll start making movies, he’ll get married, get fat, eat fistfulls of pills and the next thing you know he’ll have an intestinal blockage the size of Panama. And damn if it ain’t hard for the kids to relate to a guy who needs mechanical help to take a shit.
Comment by Pablo on 3/22 @ 8:18 am #
That is a fantastic mashup, Vladmir. Was Cake prescient? Or was a Barry O inevitable?
Here’s an interesting bit of trivia from Wikipedia.

Ironic, isn’t it? If Obama is the new Savior, then that would make you guys Philistines. Bet you wish now that you hadn’t been so down on them. You can kinda see where they were coming from now, eh?

“We all get to choose what to believe in, and what to serve, Ardsgaine.”
True. I thought there might have been a suggestion in your post that there is something a little scary about the masses worshipping a charismatic man as a god. I’ll just register my agreement and move on.
Have a happy Easter.
Comment by Dan Collins on 3/22 @ 10:22 am #
No, you’re quite right about the irony, Ardsgaine. I just think that that goes with “the human condition” no matter what one believes in. It’s rather Godel-y.
Comment by bjtexs on 3/22 @ 10:28 am #
Hey, Ardsgaine, you unrepentant heretic! How’s it hangin’?
Comment by Ardsgaine on 3/22 @ 12:04 pm #
Hey BJ, how’s it going? :)
Me, I’ve been sick as a dog for over a week. The whole family’s got it. If Obama would cruise by here and heal us all by laying on hands, I’d follow him around like a puppy dog. As it is, I realize now why the undead hate the living so much. Fuck all you non-sick bastards. :)
Comment by bjtexs on 3/22 @ 12:11 pm #
Actually I was away taking care of my 87 year old mom who could really use the changetudinous hopylicious healing power of the Obamessiah.
Don’t be a stranger now. Arguing religion and faith with nishi is a poor substitute for our past nuclear wasteland kerfuffles. Something about facts and historical perspective, don’cha know! :-)
Hope you are feeling better.
Comment by Dan Collins on 3/22 @ 12:14 pm #
Yeah, Ards. Sorry you’re feeling so crappy.
I recommend you megadose with Emergen-C.
Comment by Ardsgaine on 3/22 @ 12:39 pm #
I wish your mom the best, BJ. She must be a tough lady to make it to 87.

Thanks, Dan. I’ll add that to the shopping list I’m putting together for my sister.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 4:53 pm #
haha, ima historical idiot.
history is soooooooo booooooorrrrrriiinnnng
YOU are arguing faith and religion….im arguing evolutionary theory of culture, sociobiology, and math.
;)
Comment by happyfeet on 3/22 @ 5:00 pm #
Here is a story about history and faith and religion. It was kind of fascinating really. Or at least really nicely done. You can start at paragraph 5 and skip some blah blah blah though. But the rest is all elegant and Occam’s Razory.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:20 pm #
here is the Sufi teaching story of The Three Jeweled Rings.
i kinda like it more better.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:32 pm #
i mean really…searchin for blackdaddy?
its far more likely O stayed in that church out of defernce to an old race warrior.
kinda like i defer to the old coldwarriors at work.
Comment by happyfeet on 3/22 @ 5:33 pm #
That’s a good story too. But except for cultures what encourage men to wear jeweled rings. Maybe it’s a South Texas thing. But I get the point.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:33 pm #
deference
geez
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:34 pm #
Enoch wat do you think?
I love Stephenson abune ‘a thing.
Comment by happyfeet on 3/22 @ 5:35 pm #
Well. Ok. But it’s Occam’s Razory I thought in that it readily encompasses both Baracky’s and M’chelle’s healthy opportunistic streak.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:43 pm #
feets…..i totally agree that Mchelle likely digs the blackliberationtheology.
but i think O stayed in that church for a number of reasons.
one of them being respect and deference for a old racewarrior, that served on the lines before O was born.
the other being….his kids.
i dont have kids….yet.
but i imagine i would do almost anything to immunize them against humilitaion.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:45 pm #
and btw creole….O’s kids would have been in sundayschool during any hatespeech.
havent u ever been to a service?
Comment by happyfeet on 3/22 @ 5:48 pm #
I would have been totally humiliated to go to the hatey church. Can you imagine little Misha or whatever bringing one of her prep school friends home for a weekend, and this girl is all filled with love for Jesus and what have you and asks little Misha if she can just go to church with her? I think little Misha would be like, um… they had to close the church this weekend cause a pipe broke. Yeah. Water went like everywhere.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:50 pm #
feets, i been to those churches.
lil Misha’s friend wud have had the sweelest time ever in sundayschool.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/22 @ 5:51 pm #
serious, the kiddielets are not mainstreamed with adults.
Comment by happyfeet on 3/22 @ 5:58 pm #
Oh. Ok. But I still kind of question the fortification against humiliation part. And you forget they started this hatey church thing way before they had kids.
Comment by happyfeet on 3/22 @ 5:59 pm #
And really, hasn’t having their own Pastor Wright screeching all over tv like a hatey banshee not been … pretty humiliating?
Comment by B Moe on 3/22 @ 7:32 pm #
true scientists are not arrogant..we are humble….but we are easily frustrated…that the twodigit subspecies will never “see the beauty”.
By God, nishi, you are truly a piece of work.
feets, i been to those churches.
those churches?
Comment by Pablo on 3/22 @ 7:48 pm #
nishi, you may be many things, but “scientist” is not one of them. And I’ll be damned if I can figure out how you could be a mathematician. That requires a strict adherence to logic, and recognition of inescapable facts. You don’t seem to have the chops for that.
Comment by McGehee on 3/22 @ 7:56 pm #
At the risk of bringing down the wrath of God(win), I have to ask: Nishi, is your last name “Mengele”?

And really, hasn’t having their own Pastor Wright screeching all over tv like a hatey banshee not been … pretty humiliating?
yah…likely it has likely been awful since the utubes.
:(
but he never preached for them like that.
adults only.
Comment by Pablo on 3/22 @ 10:00 pm #
And you know this how?
Comment by happyfeet on 3/22 @ 10:06 pm #
That part about the kids is probably true, now that I think about the videos. That hadn’t really occurred to me before. At my little Lutheran church, Sunday school was before service, not during. That’s odd to me, how the hatey church does it, cause the kids get deprived of the socialization part of having to sit through shit they’d rather not. That’s a very important lesson for a kid to learn I think. But in this case it’s probably just as well.

pablo it is just too long…the kiddos just cant sit thru 2 or 3 hours of inspiration.
they have crafts and playgrounds an stuff.
i’ve been to lotsa churches.
actually that was one of my first epiphanies when i found out the good fathers and nuns were lyin to me.
i spent the night at a friends and attended her methodist service…and lo! i dint burst into flames when i crossed the threshhold of the alien church.
;)
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/23 @ 2:25 am #
my favorite one was how the eevul little protestant grrl wanted to experience holy communion, so she pretended to be catholic to recieve the host and held the host in her mouth and went out into the vestible.
then she took it out of mouth and broke it in half!
blood came pouring out like a fountain!
and drenched her favorite dress and her hands and shoes!
and she could never get the stains out!
Sister Mary Margaret told that one with especial relish.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/23 @ 8:03 am #
i guess the good thing about Monsigneur Grahaeme was that he didnt really have any special fondness for young boys. I actually think he didnt much like children at all. He wasnt all hatey on whitey, but he sure did hate protestants.
He really only liked his pigeons i think.
if we looked out the third floor classroom windows in the morning after mass, we could see him walking on the blacktop of the church parking lot in his long black dress surrounded by a throng of pigeons, tossing seed and murmuring his next weeks gospel to them. It seemed to me he was at least a thousand years old.
He especially loved to tell us about purgatory, where we would all walk a dusty rocky track barefoot around an enormous pit of fire (that led straight to hell btw) with all our sins in an enormous backpack bending us over from the weight of them. whenever someone earth said a prayer for us then the angels wud take one sin out of the backpack.
OF course i had to ask wat happened to anyone that had no one to pray for them left on earth.
The good monsigneur said they wud just have to stay there until the end of time, like the unbaptized babies in limbo, and then they cud get judged.

and before you all start with, well islam!!!!!!
i do think mainstream al-Islam needs reformation.
but you lot screaming for it is profoundly counterproductive.

actually, yes.
because of the biological basis of belief.
tell me mcgeehee, when did screamin at summone about how horrible their religion is EVER net a conversion?
think martyrs, pograms, crusades and conversion by the sword.
Comment by Pablo on 3/23 @ 9:40 am #
Did I say lynching? I meant crucifying, you fucking white devils. You’re Jews aren’t you, you messiah killing bastards? Man, I hope God smites you all dead before the day is out.
Um, bless you all, go now in peace, out.
Comment by nishizonoshinji on 3/23 @ 9:43 am #
there is a really big clue about my conversion in that anecdotal story.
there is no “original sin” in al-islam.
man is born sinless, but forgetful.
now i can finally sleep in the silence of the babies crying in limbo.
Comment by Pablo on 3/23 @ 9:44 am #
Who’s screaming? And when did yelling about someone’s race ever net a conversion?

But you think the Catholic Church should allow women to become priests I bet. Additionally, I bet you would like the Church to change its take on contraception, abortion, etc. I bet this is why you rebelled so. If only the Church would MODERNIZE! I mean it’s soooo olde school and boooooring….
Also, am I to take it that your brain is soooo small as to believe that Science and Faith are mutually exclusive? If so, you are a serious intellectual lightweight. Now go get me a beer…
Thx Matt

how many people have you turned from Christianity to Sufiism?
none.
we dont proselytize and i havent really met anyone here that wud qualify. expect maybe feets.
i dont pray for any of you to convert, sorry.
i dont want u. ;)
Enoch, have u read Snowcrash?
i think jesus, moses, muhammed, buddha, they were all neurolinguistic hackers.
the servents of Asherah like the pharisees and the sunni always wind up corrupting the message.
the theocons seem to me like servents of Asherah…Wright and Hagee certainly as well.

no…i dont care really.
yours is better for u, mine is better for me.
Comment by Enoch_Root on 3/23 @ 2:41 pm #
nishi – yes. read it, but very long ago. it was decent, but not one of his best in my estimation. Though, I will now need to re-read it as you have piqued my interest with your thesis.
Sufiism sounds interesting. We also believe it is very much possible to experience oneness with the Creator while in the physical manifestation. Most folks don’t think of it this way, but the Church is Mystical in its very nature (by definition).
