I got this today, and I thought it was funny:

A PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT


BY SENATOR BARACK OBAMA (D-IL)






My fellow Americans,

As your future president I want to thank voters of all political
stripes for their mindless support, despite my complete lack of any
legislative achievement, my pastor's ties with Louis Farrakhan and
Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, and my blatantly liberal voting record
while I present myself as some sort of bipartisan agent of change.

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal
behaviour somehow qualifies me for the presidency after 8 years of
claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is
a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political chicanery.

I would also like to thank the Kennedys for coming out in support of
me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK
started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped
Martin Luther King Jr., they both slept with Marilyn, and Teddy's
negligence caused the death of a young girl. I'm not going anywhere
near the Kennedy cousins, especially Michael Skakel.

And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of
meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the
White House.

Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or
achievement, but because I make people feel good. White people who
vote for me get some relief from their racist guilt.

I say things that sound meaningful but don't really mean anything
because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have
meaning, then that means you have to think.

Americans are tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain and
open up the heart.

So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don't think, just
do. And do it for me.

Thanking you in advance.

Cool

That's me

Is Barack "Patriotically Challenged?"

Ok, first there was the flag pin thing where he refused to wear one. I could almost stomach that if his excuse wasn't so weird.

Lapel Pin Story

Second, he has refused to put his hand over his heart when he hears the National Anthem. This is just completely lame.

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171

Now, there is apparently a Cuban flag in his Houston headquarters.

Maybe all of this is nothing, but it sure seems like this guy doesn't like America. What kind of change does he actually want? So far, he has said he wants the Bush/Cheney administration to change but that a given no matter who wins the election.

Dr. J is coming to town

Dr. Jackson will be speaking next week at the Darwin Day celebration. Information on the celebration can be found here. I would encourage everyone to attend no matter which side of the debate you are on. I am a huge fan of hearing both sides of every argument and letting people present their cases. Dr. J is amazing and you'll be shocked at his depth when debating. FYI he won't mention the Bible once so be ready for pure science.

Incase you missed the show; it was awesome!

Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson doubts the official reports of 9/11. I mean really, either the government is a bunch of stupid idiots, as he normally claims, or they are incredible Lex Luthor-type evil geniuses with Democrats and Republicans working in complete harmony behind the scenes. I am all for people choosing a political party and picking on issues but try not to be a complete idiot Willie.

AUSTIN — Texas icon Willie Nelson said on a nationally syndicated radio show this week that he questions the official story of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York City.

"I certainly do," Nelson said Monday when asked by talk show host Alex Jones if he questions the official story.

"I saw those towers fall and I've seen an implosion in Las Vegas, there's too much similarities between the two. And I saw the building fall that didn't get hit by nothing," the singer-songwriter said. "So, how naive are we, you know, what do they think we'll go for?"

On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 men hijacked planes, crashing them into each of the World Trade Center's twin towers in New York City, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.

Nelson, who turns 75 this year, said if he were president, he would "stop the damn war, it's just that simple."

"The way I heard it, the 15 people from Saudi Arabia hit us in New York and we go jump on Afghanistan," Nelson said. "I never could figure that one out in Iraq."

Nelson's publicist would not comment on the remarks.

Jones, an Austin-based talk show host on the Burnsville, Minn., Genesis Communications Network, is sometimes described as a "conspiracy theorist." He regularly rails against globalism, the United Nations and World Bank on satellite and Internet radio.

A friend in need

So, I have some friends and family members who are missionaries. These people serve their beliefs in the most self-sacrificial way you could ever imagine. I am glad that God has not yet asked me to be a missionary when I see how hard these people work.

All that aside, my family tries to make it a point to support several different groups of these people. It is often amazing that whenever we have a little bit of extra money one of our groups has a special need. We were recently blessed with a little extra money and when the time came to choose who to give it to I told Mrs. Dude "Just wait, someone will need it within the next few days." True to form, we received a request from one of our friends in Malaysia. They have the, very legitimate, need for a car and are trying to raise $5,000. The vehicle they are wanting to purchase is the Proton Wira pictured above, let's see if we can't help them out.

I don't normally ask for money but if you have it to give, now is the time.

The Super Bowl

This was the worst Super Bowl ever. I didn't really care who won, but I did kind of want to see a perfect season. I also think Tom Coughlin is a jerk so it was hard to watch his team win. That said the game was hugely boring an don top of that Tom Petty has to be the worst "performer" ever. Is that guy even alive? He barely moves and the microphone was so big I couldn't tell if he was even singing. To make it worse my wife invited over some friends and non of their husbands came with them but all their kids did. This means that ten feet from my tv three women were yelling and cackling for hours. Meanwhile, upstairs the five kids over the age of four were tearing the sheetrock of the walls down to the studs and then putting it back. At least it sounded like a construction project. The two babies decided to throw elmo toys and blocks at me downstairs while this was going on.

I hated yesterday.
