New Personality Cult

Remember when China's Red Guards would rampage in Tienanmen Square waving their little red books of Chairman Mao's quotations? I sure do. China now looks back on that entire episode of cult of personality with great embarrassment, as it should.

Now we see the same sort of b*** s*** emerging in the United States. No, seriously. Go here to see an ad by an outfit called History Company for a pocket-sized edition of the quotations of President Obama. The ad observes:
It is an unofficial requirement for every citizen to own, to read, and to carry this book at all times.

Good luck, guys. I will carry your book when pigs fly and liberals get serious about illegal immigration and defense. Let's hope the ad is a spoof.
