Why Geronimo?

Loved the billboards!
Notice that the nutter billboard misspells "exalteth".....
"The bullet in bin Laden's head also killed the liberal-as-wimp cliché."
Yup. No one can doubt that Obama really knows what he is doing in foreign policy.
And that he's no Dennis Kucinich... a man who votes like he is influenced by the Al Queda lobby, and sees the world in terms of his own imagination and wishes instead of how it really is.
Good show, Mr. President!
I just wanted to say Good Morning and Thanx for the link round up Ifodel ... I'm just getting throtuh these now. The photo at the heading of the "good/ evil" billboard thing is getting more popular these dayz, especially in America's heartland ... which basically is .... a strip joint put's up an ad, then the fundamoralist's run to the rescue, with they "sayeth", "doeth", and "cumeth" stuff ... or disguise it by saying you have a sex addiction and to call this phone number for help ... which is a ministry of course, etc ... I know all their trick's.
Another great set of links - thanks. I particularly liked the one about hitler as an artist. There's a fun book by Norman Spinrad entitled "The Iron Dream" that speculates about what would have happened if he had pursued that profession. (It also pokes fun at a lot of the authoritarianism found in some SF stories).
DMarks: No one can doubt that Obama really knows what he is doing in foreign policy.
Well, some are still trying to doubt, but it's getting tougher.
RC: I bet fundamoralists don't want too many people going to places like strip joints -- they might recognize the fundamoralist sitting at the next table.
Mendip: I've read The Iron Dream. A very odd piece of work -- it basically re-imagines Hitler's career in SF terms, from his own viewpoint. Interesting in places but rather tasteless.
I've noticed unpleasant authoritarian leanings in some older SF. I'd hoped there was less of that now.
