Just found this very strange and very awesome story in some blog: Barack Obama vs. the Pirates of Wichita.
It can best be summed up as an alternative history/steampunk epic rendition of the 2008 presidental campaign, with lots and lots of references to American politics.
Apparently, some guy decided to write it as a parody to some of his fanatically pro-Obama friends. The thing is, though, that he's an outstanding writer. I get strong Cordwainer Smith vibes from reading the whole thing.
