“All you can do is smile at the absurdity of these things piling up,” said someone who spends much of the day with Obama.

I don't play golf, but I am sure there is a version of this maxim in that sport as in others: sometimes you make your own luck.

As for absurdity, I dunno, there always seems to be a certain hubris in the universe. One of my favs going around has to do with when Obama creepily mocked his political opponents (including the American people) after healthcare reform passed:

"I'm not exaggerating," Obama told the crowd, "leaders of the Republican party, they called the passage of this bill 'Armageddon!' Armageddon. End of freedom as we know it. So after I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling, or some cracks opening up in the Earth. Turned out it was a nice day."

Those attending the rally burst into laughter and applause.

"Birds were chirping, folks were strolling down the mall," the President continued, "people still had their doctors."

Ha Ha, cracks opening up in the earth? Well, of course, about a month later, a rather huge crack opened up in the earth under the Gulf of Mexico and oil spewed forth, turning the oceans red.

Now that's pretty dramatic Theatre of the Absurd, I'd say!

I wonder outloud sometimes if Zeros game of choice was shooting pool (instead of Golf) and smoking cigars just how much slack he’d be cut then? (well he’s too stupid for Poker)
