Obama's wait problem?
Now that "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy" has picked Joe Biden as his running mate, the question remains: Why did he wait till late last night - this morning, really - to announce?
Traditionally politicians announce things late on Friday that they don't want to get too much attention (because it's a dead spot for MSM cycles). Assuming Obama had made his pick by Thursday, announcing it that night would have been a night-and-day difference in how much it was ballyhooed.
So why pick this dead spot for this high-profile announcement? The answer, obviously, is that in announcing on August 23rd, Obama is signalling to Robert Anton Wilson devotees that he's planning a Discordian administration.

You're crediting Wilson? Malaclypse the Younger is going to come out of his grave and eat you.

It's true. Obama's been getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from grass-roots Discordian cabals (and Discordian organized fundraisers.)
For worshipers of chaos, we're surprisingly organized.

You're reading the signs backwards. They say ILLUMINATI.
