A Sign of Hope

"Hope" the German-based musical about, who else, Barack Hussein Obama, lowered its curtain and called it quits after a short run in Frankfurt in 2010.  It seems that even the Germans have limits to hero worship. Thankfully, the production did not spread to London and New York and Paris. It died where it was born in a land of smart people vulnerable to political gimmickry.

Maybe, just maybe, the demise of "Hope" portended the beginning of the end of the world's largest cult of personality. Nope! Not yet. 2012. The Kool-Aid still flows. Who needs a crappy musical when you have the IRS in your pocket?

Still, "Hope" will be retained forever in the cannon of the new religion. http://hope-musical.com/english/index_en.htm Maybe, just maybe, a sequel featuring Eric Holder and his henchmen will blossom. Maybe Frankfurt will host the blockbuster, "Yes We Can"
