Sign of the Times

A sad commentary on the nature of the age:

[T]he president will not stop at the Golden Temple, a Sikh holy site and one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions, because visitors typically wear headscarves, turbans or Muslim caps.

Obama was to visit the sprawling golden complex in Amritsar, “but the plan appears to have foundered on the thorny question of how Mr. Obama would cover his head, as Sikh tradition requires, while visiting the temple,” wrote the Times.

Don’t blame him. Why cause yourself trouble by providing the dumb shits at home the final proof you’re Mooslim? Especially when the wingnuts will go to great lengths explaining how Sikhs are Muslims, Muslims are jihadists, jihadists are fascists, fascists are Nazi, Nazis are socialists, and therefore Obama is a an islamo-jihadi-fascisto-socialist Hitler for going anywhere within 500 miles of Amritsar.

Yep, too much trouble altogether.

Though the thought of Pamela Geller’s head exploding does have certain appeal.

[UPDATE: Didn't see Jymn's post below about wingnut head exploding. Obviously we have a weird psychic channelling thing happening, will have to investigate further. In the meantime,  I'll settle for self-immolation.]
