But the point of your post is true enough–just mentioning the word “Obama” guarantees you great discounts and wonderful treatment. A friend of mine was at a bar with a Brit, and they found out he was American. The entire Italian family, Mama and all, came out with tears in their eyes to hug my friend. In part it’s a fascination with Obama, but it’s also a frustration (in Italy, at least) with their complete inability to get rid of the same old kleptocrats who’ve ruled their country for decades.

Heh. I’m still gonna be polite while I fight him tooth and nail on the issues that matter to me where I believe he’s wrong.

I can still slip a rhetorical shiv in between the ribs while being polite about it.

And I’ll welcome the spoiled brats back. Keeps my powder dry for when next they run away. Remember – the moral high ground is a great place to site your artillery.

Oh, so that’s what that is. I thought it was a face painting gone horribly wrong.

Kris,

yeah, best wishes to you. Funny, but I had only glanced at your gravatar and thought it was a pen and ink well..

I’ll swing over and follow all the sordid details…
