Another catch phrase for the sixties is: How I leaned to stop worrying and love the bomb (Dr. Strangelove). We can no longer love the bomb but we can vote for Obama, the object of much Strange Love.

What will you do during your vacation from history? I think I’ll watch “Seven Years in Tibet” seven times, with US being the Tibetans. The entire Chinese army is on the march and the Democrats in Congress respond by all going “AUMMMM” at the same time. They’re trying to create a Harmonic Convergence to keep away the Harm but they are all in different keys. However, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (now called The Hope and Unity Choir Director) does look lovely and ageless in her saffron robes. And we will find the answer to that ageless question: “What if they throw a war and only one side shows up?” We could ask the Tibetans, but who will believe that bunch of losers?
