He ventured forth to bring light to the world | Gerard Baker - Times Online

Quote:
He ventured forth to bring light to the world

The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world.

Read European news sites. That is not far off from the vast majority of them.

We need more expatriate Brits over here making hilarious stuff like this.

Apparently The Times doesn't like their Prime Minister "the Leper" too much.

The Associated Press: Obama says New Yorker insulted Muslim Americans
"I do think that, you know, in attempting to satirize something, they probably fueled some misconceptions about me instead."

Well would you look at that. He said right in your article that he knew it was satire. It's not like he didn't GET it.

He got on his high horse and his followers flapped in the breeze. As Jon Stewart said "it's a &^%$#@! cartoon!"

But back to the Times article ... spot on!
