I own this t-shirt, thought up by the National as a little fundraising gimmick for Barack Obama himself. I love the National. I'm pretty down with Barack. But did anyone in the National or on the Obama marketing team realize that the song "Mr. November" contains the lyrics "I'm the new blue blood / I'm the great white hope" ? I mean, not to read too much into it or anything, and not that election politics are anything but reading too much into it or anything like that, but isn't it a little bit ironic...
Now is when I wish blogs could accurately convey that 'really, you really did just do that' kind of quizzical look.
Also, only middle-aged white men seem to comment on it.
Also, what the fuck, Russia.
