Oh, for cryin' out loud...another Nazi reference?

(cue breathless voice)

The theory is almost too perfect to be true. Barack Obama, the son of politically progressive parents, was born Aug. 4, 1961—almost nine months to the day after John F. Kennedy was elected to the White House. Is it possible Obama was conceived on that historic night?

And if so, could history repeat itself? In the hours and days since Obama's victory, many of his exhilarated supporters have been, shall we say, in the mood for love. And though it's too soon to know for sure, experts aren't ruling out the possibility of an Obama baby boom.


More silly and banal journalism from People, er, Newsweek here.

Would we be so impolite to add that there were similar shag-a-thons that led to a baby boom in the wake of Hitler’s bombing of London during WWII? Apparently, we would.
