Revenge of the Nerds

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.

    BTW: Did you see your photo in the last piece of UMB propaganda?
