Win one for American xenophobes. So, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States on November 4, 2008. As it happens, in Chicago the winning lottery numbers the very next day — November 5, 2008 — were a very ominous 6-6-6. You know, because clearly Mr. Obama (and not his successor) is the person who will herald the end times. So, now that he’s got free time on his hands, don’t let your guard down.
