Obamalinks IV

[pallas_athena]

Today is Edgar Allan Poe's 200th birthday. The Underpants Monster has already blogged this in superb style, so I'll be content with offering you this link describing the phenomenon that is The Poe Toaster. Okay, and maybe this other one with some good resources and images.

Meanwhile, I have saved the pearl, the pink and the prize of all my Obamalinks to liven up this dull Monday. Read on, before we all fall into the grip of boring reality:

Barack Obama and the Pirates of Wichita.

A cry went up. The Audacity had pulled astern of us, and dropped anchor, and pinned us with her swivel guns. I heard a snap of cording, and a thump, and then the man Obama stood on our deck, still gripping the rope he had swung over on.

We stared. Perhaps it was the fact that he was nine feet tall; perhaps it was his eyes, which were as gentle and compassionate and fierce as a mother bear’s; perhaps it was his armor, each chain link of which had been forged from the smoking remains of the Liberty Bell. Not even the Ronpaul’s man thought to raise a hand against him.

If that amuses you, there's more.

"The only ones likely to rescue us this far out were traveling Romnists, and they would only save stranded sailors if they agreed to become one of the Pope’s salt wives."

Coffee, meet nose.

The Pirates of Wichita. Oh my gods, why have I never seen this before?

It completely rules, doesn't it?
