This morning, I saw a photo of Barack Obama huddled in conversation with Edward Said — some formal dinner. At first, the photo made my blood run cold. But then I thought, “No, you must believe in The One: He was surely refuting Said on the nature of the Middle East. Said is saying, ‘The Zionist entity is the source of all trouble in the region.’ And Obama is saying, ‘I’m sorry, professor, but that kind of thinking is what is keeping the Arab world in its mental chains.’”

Yeah, that’s the ticket.
