John McCain meets The Obama Slama Jama.

Enough mourning Dubs fans.  We can pour some out for our fallen soldier Monta, but now’s the time to lift our glasses for the (finally official) Democratic Nominee for President of these here United States of America, Barack Obama! Yes, there are bigger fish to fry - especially when that fish represents the future of our planet. You remember our planet, the small blue-green orby-thing in the Milky Way Galaxy that won’t have any fish left in its oceans if we let John McCain become president.

I don’t know about you, but I want a candidate who won’t just beat John McCain, but will smash on his wrinkled little dome.  I’m pretty sure that if McCain tries to meet Obama at the rim, this will be the outcome. The idea for this piece of photoshop craftsmanship from FTBer, G. Dolin, came from this interview I saw with Spike Lee yesterday on the convention floor. Mr. Lee seemed very ho-hum about the whole thing until the interviewer asked him about his T-Shirt, which had a cartoon on it that Spike described as “Barack Obama taking it to the hole and dunking on McCain.” You could tell by the tone in Lee’s voice that the basketball analogy hit home.

And so it is for the rest of us, especially those of us that got to experience the “We Believe” movement here in The Bay, and for folks like FTB-er D. Turman who was in the house when the original photo of Baron Davis posterizing AK47 was snapped. We know that anything is possible and that we can upset the setup if we, not only “Believe,” but show up to the game to blow up the decibel meter. Let’s send some of our Bay Love eastward to Invesco Field for tomorrow night to get that place roaring, and make sure the crowd just gets louder all the way ’til November. Don’t trip fam. Basketball can wait.
