Granted, it's probably (okay, certainly) not true. But if that crazy person who runs Atlas Shrugged is right and Barack Obama really is the son of Malcolm X, that would make my day. Honestly, who wouldn't give Malcolm props for that one? And think there's anyway we can fit Tupac into the bloodline? Or maybe Obama actually is Tupac? You know that whole shooting was some bullshit, right?Incidentally, I see no reason to stop with Malcolm. History is full of great Xs for Barack Obama to be related to. Professor X, which would explain why millions of white people lose their minds in his presence. Weapon X, which would explain the adamantium grafted onto his skeleton. XML, which would explain why it's so easy to structure his data. I'm sure there are others. And if anyone felt like Photoshopping Obama into an X-Men uniform to a) help illustrate this post and b) brighten my day, I'd certainly be grateful.Update! Reader Robert J. Kelly comes through, turning Obama into Cyclops, field leader of the X-Men (the picture is now atop the post). And it makes sense: What is Obama's practiced into-the-distance gaze good for if not controlling the optic beams that will result from a horrible accident while touring a ruby mine? And check out more of Kelly's work at Namtab.com. It is, if anything, even more awesome. OBAMA X.
