The 2008 Presidential election is now a battle of mythic proportions, according to the folks at the
Daily Kos.
Perseus had help from the gods. Does it not feel as if some
special hand is guiding Obama on his journey, I mean, as he has said,
the utter improbability of it all?
The
instructions to not directly look at her, but to look at her reflection
in his shield. What is Obama's shield, in essence? I propose it is
his belief in hope, redemption, and his ability to channel the
essential goodness of the American people. The Perseus myth clearly
indicates he should not confront his opponent by face-to-face,
tit-for-tat combat.
Of especial significance for me is
the star Mirfak, the elbow of Perseus's sword arm. At some point, he
does need to utilize his elbows, and when the moment comes, cut
strongly and swiftly.
And lastly, let us not forget that the comet is BLUE.
So let us have hope, the gods are on our side, and the Hero will prevail. [emphasis added]
Thanks to NRO's Jonah Goldberg for highlighting this amazing bit of lunacy. The Left has utterly lost its mind during this election cycle. God save us when they lose in November, and I am more and more believing that they will lose. People are generally not that happy when their gods are slain.
