Sorry, Ptolemy, but Copernicus is on the speaker phone.
George W. Bush was the Birth of American Presidency in the 21st Century.
All future Presidents are George Bush.
All candidates are trying to be George Bush.
John McCain is the New Bush.
McSame as the Old Bush.
Hooray!

a face to the ignorant comments. remember normal readers of Slog. this pathetic loser lives on the east hill in kent in a shitty little apartment on the 3rd floor.
@2: Whoa!
You know what's weird? I've been having exactly the same thought. This is the first time in modern history when the biracial son of divorced parents with a complicated personal history would have a shot at the White House and, on the other side, we've got a crude old man and a woman with five kids and, soon, an illegitimate grandchild. The whole idea is totally unprecedented. As one of the millions of American children with divorced parents and a complicated family history, I have to admit that I find the break from textbook nuclear families in federal electoral politics to be incredibly liberating.
I'm shocked that we are so much on the same page about this. Of course, my analytical model didn't include a thesaurus or any self-conscious wordplay around reproduction, but otherwise we're as one mind on this.
John Bailo's just another name for nothing left to lose.
I'm not positive -- but I think this is the same Levi who knocked up bristol palin:

kinda cute, in a reckless way
@%5: "break from textbook nuclear families "
But that's exactly what the McCain-Palin candidacy is about. They are an "extended" family that puts those ties above the urbian, antiseptic, controlled, materialistic whinings of Obama-Biden.
A young mother is not "put on welfare" she is absorbed into a larger working family structure.
The Obamas are the typical yuppies who see everything materially, not spiritually.
It is Obama who is retrograde.
It is McCain who is avante garde!
"four republican presidencies that end in Bush," did you say?
I don't get it. Is it just me? Am I exceptional stupid?
Make that "exceptionally."
Take it all back. I am exceptional stupid.
@6: Not a chance. He's already got a kid, and from the sound of his comments a girlfriend too, who is not Butchie Palin or whatever her name is.
@12, gosh, Fnarf...don't you think you might be a little primly naive here? Don't guys, well, umm, CHEAT every now and then??? And does making one OOW baby preclude him from crafting another?
@13, I doubt very much that the mysterious Levi cited here has been crafting his Myspace page for the past year just for the purpose of disguising his true interest in Bilbo Baggins, er, Bimbo Palin. If Daddy Levi has a Myspace page, you can friggin' bet it's deleted or private now. The ONLY thing about the Myspace Levi that suggests he's the one is his name and residence.
@2 - Kent's East Hill just got a little scarier.
Fnarf, the girlfriend posting in the comments is the mother of his little boy, Cooper... but her profile says she's single, as does his. The cached version in Google implies there was a breakup, as there were more lovey-dovey comments from her previously that have since been deleted.
Not that this means anything -- I don't see any indication that this is the Levi in question -- but I wouldn't say that the current state of his MySpace page automatically eliminates him.
This election has also brought in Alaska and Hawaii from the margins of the map. That may not mean much to people on the mainland, but it should.
