No, seriously

Book cover: The Gospel of Barack Hussein Obama According to Mark

This is a real book. You can buy it on Amazon. (And I’m figuring since at least two of you bought Obama Chia Planters last Christmas, this book is a natural for readers of Living Freedom.)

It is apparently not a parody. Or at least not an intentional one.

And the writer, according to his Amazon blurbette, is a pastor on … wait for it, wait for it … Wall Street.

You see, this is another example of why I simply can’t write satire any more. The world is already so perfectly self-satirizing.

    I had a nice comment written, but self-censorship kicked in… Suffice it to say I think this is hilarious on a couple of levels.

    Awww, Kent. C’mon. Brighten our day. After all, it was a nice comment, right? 🙂

    The cover remind me of that famous (infamous?) poster of Che Guevara. Apropos, no?

    “Nice” is in the eye of the beholder. Hehe.

    Obama is my hero. I revere him like a god, and hang on every word that drips like myrrh from his perfect lips. In other news, I’m built like a Grecian statue and have gorgeously full, wavy hair.

    One or more of the above statements is untrue..

    Well, most Gods are arrogant and spiteful so you may not be too wrong there. Thing is, these kind of Gods can die, from what we know of anyway.

    As for wavy hair, I don’t know, haven’t seen you, maybe you do have wavy hair. Quick, go check in the mirror. ; )
