Somehow (DNA programming error) his angel wings ended up fastened to the side of his head; and his intellect is of precisely that value that people in the real world used to laugh at: terrific at Harvard - can't figure out how to pack a grocery bag on his summer job. (And of course like most Ivy Leaguers, his knowledge of actual events [i.e.: history] is pretty close to nil. It was a lovely speech yesterday, but we did not "come together" with Germany: we beat their asses flat in 1945 - again - and then were nice enough to allow them a way back into the human race. And NATO did not "confront the Soviet Union" - the USA did. NATO was hiding under a goddam rock for most of the years it took us - that would be US - to win that one, too.)
