This fall under the Now I Heard It All Award. This comes from one of my favorite websites Comics Continuum. Check out this little bit of news:

BARACK OBAMA TRADING CARDS

The Topps Company has announced it will release an exclusive series of collectible trading cards featuring President-Elect Barack Obama. The 90-card set will document, in colorful photos and fact-filled text, Obama's life story. The set will be available prior to Obama's inauguration in January. Each foil-wrapped pack will contain six and one sticker, at a suggested retail price of $1.99 per pack.

"The upcoming release of our tribute to Barack Obama carries on the company's proud tradition of documenting significant and newsworthy moments in time," said Topps CEO Scott Silverstein. " These cards will resonate with the millions of Americans whose passionate outpouring of support provided President-Elect Obama with one of the most memorable and historic victories ever. This educational, entertaining and emotional collection is destined to become an instant classic."

Plates?! Coins?! Now Trading cards?! Is it me, or is this so many levels of ridiculous? Aren't we taking this Obamaphoria a little too far?! Name one other President that had his own set, not just one, set of trading cards devoted to them? It's getting to the point that this Obamamania is getting too scary. Good God people! What will be next? Obama cereal? Obama video games where it shows how many unborn babies he can kill with the stroke of a pen. We've already had an Obama comic book, but they also did a McCain one. However, they are now developing a Michelle Obama comic from Bluewater Comics now that he won the election. Check it out:

What is going on with people?! OK it's historic, but let's think about this word "historic" with the root word, HISTORY.For the love of God, stop drinking the Kool-Aid! It's over. Let's move on.

As long as Topps and Bluewater feel compelled to "documenting significant and newsworthy moments in time," how about a comic book devoted to Sarah Palin, one of the first few women Vice Presidential candidates, or set of cards devoted to the entire 2008 election. Wasn't that historic in itself? Personally, I would love to see Topps doing something more commendable like trading cards featuring members of our troops fighting for our freedom with the proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior program or some other Veterans organizations. Good Lord! But as long as we are making these trading cards, I'll trade mine for Sarah Palin.

DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE

Well it seems the 44th president of the United States has been selected, and his name is Barack Husein Obama. So what does this mean? It means the possibilities are endless on what is going to happen to this country. Abortion will be on the rise. People on welfare won't need to look for a job because President Obama is going to make sure those people get a nice fat juicy welfare check from your tax dollars. Stem cell research will be a go, which means the human race can play the role of God even more, and let's not forget the Fairness Doctrine.
Speaking of the Fairness Doctrine, I like the little spin the Democrats put it on. They're saying that because John McCain got such a raw deal from the mainstream media in regards to election coverage, the Fairness Doctrine would be a way that such treatment will never taker place again. Nice. Now I'm hoping not everybody is drinking the Kool-Aid that these guys are serving. The terrible trio of Pelosi, Reid, and Obama only have one thing in mind when it comes to this little piece of legislation and this is to silence people like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage and other conservative broadcasters. Do you think such affliates like ABC, CBS, and NBC especially MSNBC are going to be affected by this? Please! As long as these affiliates have their lips pressed up against the terrible trio's butts, they won't have any worries. After all, they are the ones that got Obama in the big seat. He owes them.

LOVE YOU SARAH

Now if you think I'm coming down too hard on the Democratic side, let me tell you, I'm not to happy with the Republicans either especially with all the crap they're giving my girl, Sarah Palin. If anything Palin was a major factor in the getting the numbers that McCain got. She was the one who had the guhoonas to go after Obama in regard to Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, ACORN, and such. She lit the fire for the campaign and now they just want to make her the scapegoat for the loss. I find that sort of ironic when in a FOX newspoll, 64% of Americans want her to run on the 2012 ticket for Pres. beating out former Ark. Governor and talk show host Mike Huckabee and former Mass.Governor Mitt Romney. Let me say this. I would not blame her if she declined to run for the 2012 election. With all the crap coming at her, why would she? But I will say this, I would be the first one in line on election day to vote for her. I think she is a remarkable woman who has shown true grit. Alaska is truly blessed. I wonder if they would be willing to trade. Sarah for Blag...whatever his name is. Nah. Sarah's too honest and it wouldn't be a fair trade ...for Alaska.

HOLLYWOOD KNOCKING GOD...AGAIN

It seems Hollywood is at it again. Director Steve Bendeleck (Mr. Bean's Vacation) and writer Steve Blair (I Do & I Don't) are planning on doing a modern day satirical retelling of Jesus' birth in the movie Sweet Baby Jesus. To make matters worse, they are also planning on having the one and only Britney Spears to play the role of Mary for this film. Why Hollywood keeps going after God is not only stupid but also counter productive onn their part. maybe the reason there box office return have been less than stellar is because movie goers are sick and tired of crap like this. Maybe they should follow the example of a little movie called Fireproof , which comes from a small budget where all the actors were volunteers and made one million dollars in pre-sold tickets alone beating out the Shia Lebeouf action thriller, Eagle Eye. God does work in mysterious ways.
