4 thought

This is my 44th blog in my 4th year of blogging in the wilderness. 44th is also the position of our new President Obama in U.S. history. The thought occurred to me that he is America’s placebo. His harmless message of hope and change gave humor to hopeless citizens, flattered and pleased souls and psyches and provided the control in the experiment called socialism in America. The price of this pleasure (placebo) is an alternative reality; Obama is the alternative medicine for what’s ailing Americans. I noted too that a placebo in the Roman Catholic Church ( mine) is the opening antiphon of the vespers for the dead. Who could have guessed the appropriateness and irony of this definition? Obama - one of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse - will be ‘responsible’ ( his re-defined word choice for socialism) for putting free market capitalism permanently to rest.
