Jon Swift worries (hopes?) that Obama supporters will be disappointed when it turns out that Obama does not actually have supernatural powers. Sara, however, is not worried: Obama's campaign lacks most of the markers of actual cultism. [Obama supporters are just excited at having someone other than a stiff as the Democratic nominee. Besides, as Jon Swift reminds us, the election will be decided not by thoughtful, intelligent people who have carefully considered the issues, but by Scared High-strung Easily-manipulated Egocentric Pinheads. Ain't democracy wonderful?]
Sara further rebuts the Obama won't be Clintonized idiocy.
The Stupid Evil Bastard points us to the Atheist who sees an image of the Big Bang in a piece of toast. [mirror]
The magnificence of Plognark's commentary rises to that of his art when he complains The Stupid, It Burns (like the heat of a thousand suns).
I'm turning the Religious Idiots meme over to arthurvandelay.
In closing, PZ Myers highlights this video showing how we can further intelligent, thoughtful discourse with those unhappy with scientific knowledge.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
