The Camp of the Saints wins three whole internets!
Granted, this is a bit of a cheat: because Bob supports this blog so well, I emailed him the whole enchilada, plus some of the background notes. Also, I gather he's familiar with the original work that I'm abusing.
Nevertheless, here is an excerpt, just in case you want to borrow from his impressive ego-massage technique:
Short Review: Love it!
Full Review: Smitty has taken the classic story of the tragic Greek king and meshed it wonderfully with the spirit of the story of Barack Hussein Obama to form an amusingly witty take on the current political scene, complete with the classic theme of vaulting ambition. It is an old truth that Hubris begets Nemesis [When the Fates are against you, watch out.], and we have been living through seven long months of Hubris Gone Wild. The time is right for a corrective and Smitty supplies it, if only fictionally. We may find, however, that he is our Delphic Oracle.
