#rsrh Newsweek declares Obama to be Shiva…

Destroyer of Worlds.

Via Drudge, which unaccountably fails to point out that Newsweek has casually declared the President to be in the process of destroying the universe itself.  This is undoubtedly the harshest criticism of Obama that I have seen all year, even inadvertently*.

Meanwhile, while looking for more on this topic, I came across this:

Wow.  I’m going to have to start reading The Cat in the Hat to my kid, again.  Who knew that it was an allegory for Nataraja?… and if the rest of the world did already know that, please make sure that I get those memos in the future, OK?

*Judging from the cover, the article associated with it will apparently try to argue that the job of the Presidency is too big for one man; which is of course the standard excuse that Democrats use when one of its Presidents has come down with a case of raging incompetence.

Book of the Week: The Trade of Queens.

Because I broke down and eventually read The Revolution Business; gratuitous bashing of the last administration aside (I had Charlie Stross figured as being too smart to auto-date his books like that), it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. The Trade of Queens finishes it all up, which is probably all to the good.

And so, farewell to The Cat in the Hat.
