On the Obama-Osama-Ohmamamia saga.....

So the world has shrunk. The global and the local are fused. It's always been fair game for federal leaders to diss state governments, and for states to diss the feds, but intercontinental dissing has generally been off-limits (excluding of course the Castro/Chavez/Latham hothead types). Most peculiar then to see the Obama-Howard fishslapping dance. Transcribe it, frame it and put it in the Tate Modern because this my friends is the trippiest piece of performance art I've seen in a while. We've not been treated to such freeform interpretive commentary since PK's 'recalcitrant' call. My more serious sentiments are best captured by The Australian's Geoff Elliot: here.
