Obama and Shellack

The word Shellack is interesting. Here it is defined:

shel·lac also shel·lack (sh-lk) n.

1. A purified lac in the form of thin yellow or orange flakes, often bleached white and widely used in varnishes, paints, inks, sealants, and formerly in phonograph records.

2. A thin varnish made by dissolving this substance in denatured alcohol, used to finish wood.

3. An old phonograph record containing this substance, typically played at 78 rpm.

tr.v.

1. shel·lacked also shel·lacked, shel·lack·ing also shel·lack·ing, shel·lacs also shel·lacks To coat or finish with shellac.

2. Slang

a. To strike repeatedly and severely; batter.

b. To defeat decisively.

Here it is in a sentence: “No amount of turpentine will cut the shellacking we will get in November of 2008.” Obama is going to be president and there’s nothing that we can do. Sen. John “I want to be in Iraq for 100 years even though I know nothing about the economy or the First Amendment” McCain has no sense of strategery.

I predict we’re going to lose 20 seats in the House of Representatives and at least 7 in the Senate. It seems we have to learn the hard way before we return to our Au+H2O roots.
