I'm glad it'll happen with a little time to spare before the US election. ;^)

I am generally skeptical about anything as unlikely as this, but I'm always at least a little bit open to the possibility of almost anything.

I've been somewhat bemused to encounter more "ET" talk than usual in recent weeks and months, and have concluded that the extremely unlikely emergence of Barack Obama as a Presidential condidiate might be best explained by his being "planted" here in the most powerful nation on earth by benevolent aliens. (I mean, how much do we know ~ any of us, including Obama himself ~ about that mysterious disappearing sperm-donor father?)

Now, I don't really believe this, but I think it makes for very interesting "food for thought." And, who knows, maybe we ARE living in a science-fictional universe. Things are already pretty goddamn weird, and truth is, after all, very often stranger than fiction.
