Barack Obama Rides the Coattails of Mildly Popular Indie Band
So, remember that crowd of 75,000 people who gathered together in Portland, Oregon over the weekend to hear Barack Obama speak?
Well, now it looks like most of those people were probably there to see The Decemberists — that incredibly famous band that your poetry-writing nephew listens to — who opened for the little-known senator from Illinois.
And the rest were there to hail godless allegiance to the Soviet Union, which will rise again from the ashes of glasnost.
That explains so much about last night's primaries. Those people in Orgegon probably thought they were voting for Josef Stalin. Or whatever that lead singer guy's name is.
