FROM THE TIMES OF LONDON

HEAD: He ventured forth to bring light to the world
SUB-HEAD: The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in
action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the
Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the
shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the
wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family,
offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an
African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of
righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a
little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of
Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet
Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard
and said among themselves: "Verily, who is this Child that he opens our
hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?"
