In a an announcement today, the Obama campaign announced a new role for Democratic Party vice-presidential candidate "Uncle" Joe Biden. Campaign spokesperson, David Axelrod, indicated that the six-term senator would take a "lower profile" now that the impact of Sarah Palin's selection has now been assessed by campaign officials.

"Joe will still be out there speaking about issues important to the American people - personal integrity, successful foreign policy initiatives as well as sensitivity to minorities and people less smart than himself."; declared Axelrod. "His 36 years of Washington experience best exemplifies 'Change We Can Believe In'. But now that People's Enemy Palin (PEP) has sucked all the air out of the room, Joe will take a less visible profile for the campaign."

"Yeah...like I had a chance of overexposure after Sarah Palin was selected. I could rob a bank, kidnap a baby and hold hostages at a mall. I still couldn't get any newspaper coverage now that 'Lipstick Lucy' is on the scene..."; Biden wistfully noted.

Hey, isn't that Quidam from Cirque du Soleil?


From the Wiki page on Quidam:

Wikipedia wrote:According to Cirque's literature: Quidam highlights our frailties and our anguish in the face of the new millennium that lies before us. It also underlines differences, conveying positive feelings and resentment and confronting our dreams with our nightmares. Quidam is more scripted than previous productions, integrating performance and theatricality to a greater degree, and draws on the emotional relationships between the performers in the troupe.

Sounds just like the Obama campaign...

Invisible man!

Remember according to Uncle Joe unless you want to pay more taxes you are not patriotic.

Comrade Kalishnikov...your observation is profound. "Quidama" is the one we've been waiting for...

"Uncle" Joe Biden! Now there's the Change we've been looking for! I am so enthusiastic that his Excellency, Obamessiah, has created Uncle Joe as his Vice-Minister of Clean-and-Articulate-Speak!

Now with the work of the Party's Organ of Truth, MSNBC-CNN-All-'Bama-Channel, Uncle Joe can replenish the air that PEP has sucked out of the room.

Soon, Comrades, the dead will rise and the Obamessiah will bring the change we so deserve. I feel a tingle coming on…

KGB Kommisar - all taxes are patriotic! Therefore, the most socialist of all, the income tax, must be the most patriotic. All of those that claim to be "fair", like the <a href="https://fairtax.org">FairTax</a>, cannot be. With the FairTax, everyone prospers. With the income tax, everyone suffers equally. Which is more socialist? Of course! There is nothing fair about the FairTax. Only the income tax is fair because the state tells people just how much they are worth. Basically, nothing. But that is because the state knows what is best for the people. How can it be otherwise?

Do not forget the PeoplesTruth^TM - the words of our glorious founder, Marx:

"A heavy or graduated or progressive income tax is necessary for the proper
development of communism." What could be more clear and more socialist patriotic?

Lifted and modified From the Quidam Web Page:


Quidama: The One. A nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past. It could be anyone, anybody. Someone coming, going, living in our anonymous society. A member of the crowd, one of the silent majority. The One who cries out, sings and dreams within us all. This is the "Quidama" that America is celebrating.

A young girl fumes; she has already seen everything there is to see, and her world has lost all meaning. Her anger shatters her little world, and she finds herself in the universe of Quidama, The One. She is joined by a joyful companion as well as another character, more mysterious, who will attempt to seduce her with the marvelous, the unsettling, and the terrifying; Quidama.

Cast of characters: Markos


Markos: is aggressive and weak minded. He is lifeless, as though his body lives on only because his soul refuses to leave it. With his one purpose to argue, and get into peoples faces which he does without thought, for his hero Quidama

Keith Olbermann, The Clown

Keith the Clown brings a contemporary vision of clowning. With subversive, crazy audience participation numbers, tells his own story, bringing to Quidama the joyful, burlesque, and liberated language of clown. This colourful, brash, and crazy world reminds us that newscasting is forever a universal spectacle.


James Carville

James, With his tragically spare hairdo, is a different kind of ringmaster. He is eerie yet charming: part television personality and part substitute teacher with his own renegade lesson plan, a blood thirsty agitator on a mysterious journey.

Kathleen Sebelius

Idiocy in motion, the Kathleen chooses to live in empty space, present and absent at the same time, a companion to the lost campaignl for a little while.


The Undecided Voter

The Undecided Voter has skeletal wings, but doesn't look quite ready to take off. Perhaps he doesn't know he has wings. Perhaps he knows, but can't fly. Perhaps, like Icarus, he has tried and failed. Or perhaps he simply wants to escape this world and its problems.

Sarah the Girl


Sarah is an average little girl. She is brilliant and curious, and she longs for the fun and excitement of U.S. leadership she is told will always lie just beyond her reach.

Comrade Biden is, I think, feeling "under the weather". Sort of like when Comrade Breznev had a cold, or when Deng Shiao Peng was down with the flu. If only the party had some heroic person of gender to step up and take Biden's place.
