Posted May 12, 08 5:15 PM CDT in Technology,  Politics 

(Newser) – A new pastime rocking the Twitter-verse is to envision the many ways life will become perfect when Barack Obama wins the presidency, the Wall Street Journal reports. A few examples:

  • When Obama wins... Charlie Brown will finally kick that football.
  • When Obama wins... people will stop making bad remixes of Billy Jean.
