John Hodgman is one of my favorite nerd comedians. I really enjoyed his exploration of the nerd aesthetic (uncertain, questioning) versus jock aesthetic (certainty, confidence) and ribbing of Barack Obama to determine whether or not he is truly the first nerd president of the modern age. Hodgman reminds us that some have even gone so far as to suggest that Obama is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Not everyone can pull off an oblique Frank Herbert reference. Nice job.
BTW: Did you see your photo in the last piece of UMB propaganda?
