If I had more time and more art - and the list more patience - I would describe to you the many (and ongoing) email exchanges, phone conversations and dinner debates which have followed almost the same trajectory. My friends and associates are confused and dismayed by my refusal to celebrate with them. Isn't this the grand moment we long dreamed of?

Regardless of the post Iowa outcome, Obama-mania is truly the apotheosis of corporate perception management. All that is solid melts into air, even the appearance (but certainly not the reality) of white supremacism on the largest of American stages.

And it's so seductive that even otherwise savvy folk are drawn towards the vortex of the unreal. The cleverest fall into place in the name of supporting 'hope'. Who wants to argue with that?
