With the robocalls accusing Sen. Obama of this or that atrocity*, I'm surprised that none of them have called into question his education in Cook County Democratic politics....

*Full disclosure -- I may have met Bill Ayers while Obama was in kindergarten.  That was the kind of guy who used to hang around Ann Arbor's lunatic fringe back in the Dark Ages when I was in college.

There are some really strained websites out there that I stumbled onto.

Seriously weird.

All I know is, I'm more worried about Obama's friendship with Richard Daley the Younger than with other associations like Rev. Wright or Bill Ayers . . .

As near as I can tell, the "real" point behind the anti-Obama robocalls is to call him a scary n1gger without actually saying the word.

If the target audience actually knew what Cook County was, they'd probably connect it with Richard Daley (a white guy) or Belushi and Ackroyd as the Blues Brothers (two white guys, who happen to make Nazis look like idiots).

Ann Arbor? I lived in Ypsilanti for 8 years.

1960s. Hence the title of these meandering maunderings.
