Hi, my name is John. I'm a hopium addict.
It's true. Yes, I'm a journalist. And that led to the harder stuff. Then one day, Barack phoned the Tribune and called me "bro."
Now, I'm addicted to hopium.
So if you're addicted to hopium, or you're worried that your loved ones might fall prey to its power, then please click on this link for the hard left's Moveon.org commercial for Barack Obama.
"I never thought it could happen to me," says a shaggy blond-haired surfer dude in the ad, a guy who should have carried a bong.
"I've been living with it for a while now," says a young woman, talking as if she'd contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
That's how they discuss hopium. Like a disease. But they have nothing to be guilty about. It's not some disease that cranky old Republicans can't get because they stopped having sex.
It's hopium.
Once you see it, you won't be the only one addicted to hope. You'll all become addicted—you, your family and friends, even your pets, except for various crustaceans in your aquarium, which are immune. But you and yours are not immune. You'll all become hope-heads, together.
It's America's most powerful drug. Once on hopium, you won't care if Iran has nukes or if taxes are raised during a recession or whether Obama keeps flipping and flopping on everything from foreign wiretaps to withdrawing troops from Iraq.
Who cares? Relax. Hopium is your friend.
Just ask Republicans. They sure could use some, especially now that Republican Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted on corruption charges on Tuesday. But like lemmings, Republicans are stubbornly jumping off his bridge to nowhere.

Is this really humor? What a stupid article.
As I have posted in the past most Obama supporters wouldn’t past muster and they certainly are airheads.
hopium funny.
As usual, John Kass nails it beautifully. Great article.
Great find!! I’ve shared it with a bunch of friends via email.
You’re a bundle of joy. ;)
Yea, you too.
Thanks!
Thats the one
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune—without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
-Emily Dickenson
I share your opinion.
I was hoping for a little humor, or at least some wit, myself. After reading it I realized that I was hopeless and gave up hope.
Barack “O’Brahma” voters + Hopium = lobotomized vegetable matter.
I even went back and read it again after another poster thought I was lacking some humor, but I still didn’t get it.
It’s flat. The author is terrified that he is crossing some kind of line. He’s pulling his punches.
For the LSM this is the great depression and there ain’t never gonna be happy days again. That party is so over.
