Chicago Tribune Endorses Obama!

For the very first time in its 161-year history, the Chicago Tribune has endorsed a Democrat for President of the United States. In a lead editorial to be published tomorrow, Barack Obama earns the paper's support.

Well, Duh! It's a Chicago paper, and Obama's a Chicago boy! Plus, even Christopher Taylor Buckley, the (now former) columnist for, and one of the owners of, the highly conservative magazine and website, National Review, founded by his late father, William F. Buckley, Jr., felt the need to endorse Barack Obama for President this year! He did so in print, but NOT anywhere in the pages of National Review magazine; and yet, that publication's main editor still accepted his resignation as a columnist which he offered more for the sake of "good form" (in reaction to the e-mailed outrage from the magazine's core subscriber base over his endorsement) than because of any REAL desire on his part to stop writing for the magazine he partly owns!

This year has seen (and will continue to see) a great many strange things happen! The collapse of the housing/real estate market in the USA, and of the related collapse of the global financial industry, and of the global stock markets, and the nature of the Presidential election in the USA, are all just bizarre aspects of these "end of days" times that we find ourselves living in! Thank God we have Sarah Palin to lead us toward, and otherwise further, the coming of "the Rapture!"
