Columns are Evil

OK. I have read enough comments and news stories lambasting Obama for having a stage design resembling an “ancient Greek temple” for his acceptance speech — enough for the rest of my life. I can’t believe how many people, McCain’s campaign included see something like the photo to the right, in a political setting, and instantly think gods and temples and get bitchy and outraged about it.
An “ancient Greek temple” like the Lincoln Memorial? The Jefferson Memorial? The National Archives? The Supreme Court Building? Or maybe even the U.S. Capitol itself?
Washington DC is just crawling with Greek architecture. I’d think people might have noticed that at some point or another, what with many of these buildings appearing on various forms of currency and not being terribly obscure for anyone with a modicum of education. I guess they are ancient Greek temples too and therefore evil in some way? Or could it be that for a very long time, Greek architecture has been something of a symbol of democracy and government in the U.S.A.? No, it couldn’t be that! It must be because Obama fancies himself some sort of pagan god!
I’d say it’s hard to believe people could be so stupid, but it isn’t that hard to believe, seeing as I actually know people in my own life who still believe very strongly that Obama is some kind of Muslim Manchurian Candidate out to put all the women in burqas and convert us all to Islam. Who cares about the issues when there are “ancient Greek temples” and “secret Muslims” to get outraged about.

Clearly, the positioning of the pillars is a signal to his alien overlords on Mars. Mark my words, as soon as he’s elected it’ll be War of the Worlds for real.
It’s sad I am actually amazed I haven’t heard someone spouting that yet.
November will not come soon enough. I am so tired of the stupidity of the average American voter.
Clearly you weren’t looking.

Now if he can just identify the alien who abducted my hover mower maybe I can get it back…

No wonder the US government is so desperate to get Gary McKinnon alone. The aliens need to find out how much he knows.
Or maybe, just maybe, people everywhere look for aliens everywhere because they really want to meet one and justify all those silly things they did as children.
Looking through the 58 signs of being abducted by aliens, I have determined that I too have been abducted … even though there are perfectly rational explanations for all the “yes” answers I have. Obviously, the aliens implanted those rational answers in my head!
I have a friend who thinks Jesus was an alien. Seriously. We don’t mention that anymore, because the last time she mentioned it, I couldn’t contain the loud guffaw of laughter.
I am going to stop now. I have real work to be getting on with.
