A year ago a bored digital doodler photoshopped youngblood Zero into a primitive voodoo chieftain. Read here. This was a sacrilegious defacement of a sitting president that caused great frenzy among liberal media pundits and droids. They yelled RA-A-AACIST! and no doubt it was – at least in their minds.
My mind saw it differently – I thought it was art imitating life.
Last weekend, in a fine example of life imitating art, President Nada showed he’s up for the job as the nation's Witchdoctor-in-Chief. While stumping for local Dem crash-cart candidates in Cleveland, Ohio, Zero feverishly strived to work his spell on a dazed electorate. The jury's out if he’s still got the magic, but he gave it hell trying – if nothing else, his stage presence scared the bejeezuz outta me.
So, is he or is he not the Voodoo high sheriff? You decide. All I know is after nearly two years of bailouts and trillion-dollar jello-shots, all we got is a second-rate illusionist and a buncha faded T-shirts.

“I put a spell on you” is a wacky, goulish rhythm and blues ditty. Bette Midler, Nina Simone, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joe Cocker, Eric Burdon and a slew of other pop musicians all covered the tune, but none did it better than the original writer and singer, "Screamin’ Jay Hawkins." Screamin’ Jay was one-of-a-kind, the best.
Memo to Zero: If you’re gonna do a Dr. Zulu routine, at least learn from the best. Otherwise cut the crap and start acting presidential.
