Maureen Dowd, as I've said before, is one of my favourite columnists in the New York Times. Her latest column introduces a new term, apparently coined during The Anointed One's recent tour of Yurrup - "Obamafied" - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/opinion/27dowd.html
It looks like a done deal-we are all about to be Obamafied by the end of the year.
The alternative looks a but grim..getting McCained !

"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
off subject but completely fascinating (as it comes from me.).I once met Mathew Freud..a gorgeous young blue eyed, 15 year old slim youth in London many years ago and the great grandson of Sigmund Freud. I was working on a newspaper and when a photographer presented a snap of young Mathew cuddling a girl-I wrote the caption : A Friendly Freudian Slip " !..which I though fantastically clever even though I got fired three months later.Your typing fingers seem to be prone to Freudian slips, dear Mr O'Booze.
