And now a word from Sting, political scientist and mystic
More proof that leftists/liberals/progressives are a bunch of uninformed self-involved jackasses:
NEW YORK (AP) - Sting isn't a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world's problems.
"In many ways, he's sent from God," he joked in an interview, "because the world's a mess."
But Sting is serious in his belief that Obama is the best leader to navigate the world's problems. In an interview on Wednesday, the former Police frontman said that he spent some time with Obama and "found him to be very genuine, very present, clearly super-smart, and exactly what we need in the world."
"I can't think of any be better qualified because of his background, his education, particularly in regard to Islam," he said.
Still, Sting acknowledged the president had a "difficult job" ahead of him.
The British singer, who released the seasonal album "On A Winter's Night" this week, said he's fascinated by American politics, Obama, and also by Obama's opponents on the right.
"It's aggressive and violent and full of fear," he said of the backlash against Obama. "They don't want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there."
Sting, 58, said he's hopeful that the world's problems can be dealt with, but is frustrated that "we seem to be living in a currency of medieval ideas."
"My hope is that we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color," he said. "We are here to evolve as one family, and we can't be separate anymore."
Mo. Ron.
So, Sting, God sent Obama, but He doesn't send global warming/climate change.
Oh, and shove your 'one family' clap-trap crap. As IF, buddy. Hey, don't stand so close to me, huh?
Sting has always had intellectual delusions. He used to mock the Clash for their schoolyard Marxism, in his view and has flouted his agnosticism or atheism, most pointingly in his single "All This Time." Listening to his all the crap he babbles I can see where Juanes got his inspiration. I do have to say, however, he puts on quite a show.
I hereby propose that anyone who takes someone like Sting seriously on anything other than music (or whatever the ostensible relevant talent may be) be officially declared an idiot. It would only be recognizing the blatantly obvious.
Lord, I am SO sick of celebrity bullshit, and even more sick of anybody who falls for it or plays along with it. Get these fucking pretentiou, deluded assholes out of my face and into some studio, stage or whatevre, but make them STFU about anything they're NOT qualified to pontificate about or meddle in. BASTA.
I couldn't stand this bing-bong-bass player's fabian socialist gasbagging in the early 80s when he had coupla hits.
Today, I just ignore this guy who jets around the world, blows megabucks on recording studios in Hamptons mansions that guzzle megawatts, and who then scolds us about 'saving the planet'.
The First Ammendment says he can gas off about his brand of English-style 'soft' communism and I can ignore him and his diddy-bop little Fabian-commie hymms.
But I want to puke all over my topsiders at the thought that people actually believe this washed up rodeo clown.
And he's apparently a sly blame-shifter as well, in the commie tradition. Since when is this 'right wing' opposition so 'violent', hmmm?
Don't Stink's fellow travelling marxist killers hold the world's record for mass mayhem and murder - two hundred million and counting?
How very commie of him, to accuse decent people of doing what he and his fellow travellers do.

"we seem to be living in a currency of medieval ideas..." this from a pampered overrated quasi-talent who PROBABLY lives in a medieval castle he's bought with his capitalist-generate income...
"Lord, I am SO sick of celebrity bull..." - you and me both.
I had one song by him on the iPod -- oh, there it goes, into the cyber-deletion black hole. Moron. More and more, I refuse to contribute anything to any of these people. My good old Cuban mom says if you take the microphones, the pyrotechnics, and the staging props away from these celebrities, you got nothing left - no voice, no show. "In my home town (she says) had they shown up, we'd be throwing tomatoes at 'em." Mommy was raised in Las Villas. No clue where they stacked their tomatoes, but I've heard stories like this - and have no doubt they really did that.
we should try it.
AAAGGHHH! I made a mistake. The above is interesting about the movie, but the one I really wanted to refer you to was a review of a new book about the undead. So sorry.

Hope that works. If not it's a review of a new book on Dracula in NR online.
