asphemer! You know that when the savior is chosen by the masses, lightbulbs will no longer be used, by royal decree.

Uhhh…no. We’ll all be bathed in his luminesence and won’t need lightbulbs.

memo to self.. do NOT google lemon party..

adding that he plans to make his Big-O the “peace sign of our generation.”

I know what my generation called it and it was far from a peace sign.

The guy who brought us the O salute is now hitting back with his determination to see his gesture become mainstream. Hi.lar.ious. Here’s hoping it sticks. A great way to give those who are undecided a chance to lean more…

I’m just glad no one has mentioned ‘Two girls one cup’ yet..

I’m surprised that someone hasn’t suggested burning Ann Coulter’s (or any other right wing author) books at an Obama rally..

Hey – just thank heavens nobody mentioned Tubgirl.

Bring it. The visual of cool, laid back, sophisticated academics, confident in their intellectual prowess, throwing down an Obama gang sign to each other en masse, is too delicious. Why not some special colors for bonding purposes? I believe red and blue are already taken.

I think that the democrats gang color is…. green, puke green.

I don’t laugh as much as others here about this business.

I associate it more with stretched-out right arms from the 1920′s and ’30′s (watch the whole thing for “funny” impact) and all that came with it:

Yes, it’s a good idea to humiliate him and all his followers every chance you get. Yes, it seems easy now.

Don’t get too confident just yet.

“Our symbol ‘O’ is about much more than Barack Obama. It’s a symbol of unity, hope, solidarity, and an end to the divisiveness that has plagued this country for too long. It is the peace sign of our generation; a sign for those who are tired of the fear, the hatred, the greed, and the ignorance. There will be resistance, democracy requires it, but we believe that the good in the American people will persevere.

If this wouldn’t be so much in line with the NYT’s Brooks pap on China, I would laugh, or cry, more; alas, I’m already spent for the day on the ‘unity’ and ‘collectivism’ topics.

But the sign – I hope it’s reald, because it could symbolize:

- the hole via which we’re all going to be scroomed royally under the One, the Messiah, and his masters
- the grand arsholes the lefties really are
- nothing
- cypher
- nihilism
- the hole into emptiness
- gateway to Nirvana
- gateway to Marx’s hell
- Lenin’s new home
- Obama is Marx and Lenin
- what Engels envisioned
- plain idiocy

If it’s parody, it’s of the cleverest kind in a long while.

AP, your write-up reminded me again what a special dude you are.
