He ven­tured forth to bring light to the world | Ger­ard Baker — Times Online.

This arti­cle had me laugh­ing out loud this morn­ing!

Excerpt:

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Igno­rant), when the whole land from the Ara­bian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid bar­ren, that a Child appeared in the wilder­ness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intel­lect. Scion of a sim­ple fam­ily, off­spring of a mirac­u­lous union, grand­son of a typ­i­cal white per­son and an African peas­ant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of right­eous­ness, with only the occa­sional detour into the odd weed and a lit­tle blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the tem­ple in the City of Chicago, argu­ing the finer points of com­mu­nity organ­i­sa­tion with the Prophet Jere­miah and the Elders. And the Elders were aston­ished at what they heard and said among them­selves: “Ver­ily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audac­ity of hope?”
