    Given the punditry of recent days, if his name is Osama, you'll be having a President Osama...

Are Americans that clueless that they can’t tell the difference between Obama and Osama? One’s a terrorist and the other’s a democrat – I suppose Republicans do have a hard time telling the difference though!

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s last name is spelled “Osama” on some 300 absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County hilltowns.

The image is just shocking, how could three people miss it? Or did they … Republicans after all:

Republican officials were apologetic. “We have three different staff members who proof these things and somehow the typo got by us,” said Republican Commissioner Larry Bugbee. “We really apologize.”

Yes, we’re all sure you do. After all, a black Senator running for President can be quite difficult to distinguish from a bearded robed muslim extremist hiding in Pakistan Afghanistan.

You really have to wonder what Osama thinks of son number, well whatever number Omar is in a family of 19 children… How do you remember them all, do you have a little ditty to remember names and birthdays?

He looks like a hippy and his message isn’t far off (or out). He wants to be a peace ambassador for peace between muslims and the west. Isn’t that too disparate groups? One is a religious group encompassing significant sections of many countries but not all, and the other is a term indicating the first world west of the Iron Curtain, and their allies.

I imagine Osama, if he’s still alive (and truth be told I doubt it), must be muttering curses under his breath about his wayward son. Just imagine the hilarious goings-on in the bin Laden household as retainers see Omar on TV and call Osama, ‘Hey boss it’s your peace-loving hippy of a son again…’ These days he’s probably even getting more air time than his dad :)

He may want peace, he may dream of peace, but until the moderate Muslims of the world stand up to the violent, illiterate, misogynist radicals in their midst, he won’t get it.
