The King is Dead


The right choice has been made! Thank you, America! A Black Man in the White House, what will they think of next, hey? I bet my arse that in the distant future, the story of Barack Obama will evolve into an epic piece of American mythology. The man himself will likely be remembered as some kind of superhero-like character who used his enormous brain to single-handedly solve every problem that faced humanity in the early 21st century. Whatever... I kinda hope he doesn't fix everything though, we don't want him to make things too boring.

About a year ago (although it still seems like yesterday), many Australian's experienced a similar feeling of elation when we finally rid ourselves of the Howard government after many years of conservative rule. Aussie hip-hop group, The Herd, wrote a song about the occasion. Non-Australian's may not get all the references but you should be able to get the general gist of it. Flobots are an American hip-hop group that have a lot of similarities to The Herd. Check 'em out.
