Picture of the Day - The Return of the Monkey God



















A little while back, I noted that Barack Obama carries, among other things, a small monkey god for luck. He brought it out again on the campaign plane the other day. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)

Well, I just thought this next bit was an interesting tie in.

The prayer meeting was held in support of Obama's presidential bid in the U.S. elections later this year. Priest Brij Mohan Bhama will send the statue to Obama next week, devotees of the temple said on Tuesday. (REUTERS/Vijay Mathur))
