The Buffoon Gods

I have many times referred to the celebrities of America and the Hollywood crowd as the buffoon gods of Mt. Olympus. Zeus and his companions were more immoral than the fools that worshipped them. It is altogether fitting that the 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver should have a mock-up of a Greek temple in the background for the speech given by the “son of Zeus.” Could the decision to have a Greek temple in the background be a Freudian slip?

If this son of a god becomes president will he be another Caesar? Hail Caesar! A god indeed! “There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, but the name Caesar.” He will save us with health care for every citizen. He will visit vengeance on the capitalists, seize their stolen profits, and distribute them among the poor.

O! How the masses swoon. There’s a sucker born every day.
