Obama, repudiates ...

I get confused.

Did Obama repudiate Paula Abdul?

Or did Eliot Spitzer turn Mormon and move to Texas?

Dick Cheney - Fly Fishing

Here's the real scoop. Cheney is standing next to a nude woman and grabs his rod.

Despite his title, he's not skilled at vice.

If he was fly fishing, did he catch his fly?

Some say Cheney was fishing.

Some say he was looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Red Skelton Interprets the Pledge of Allegiance

Analysis:

1) The Pledge of Allegiance is actually a loyalty oath created after the Civil War. The key phrase is "one nation, indivisible". It was intended to exclude anyone who thinks that states might have the right to secede from the union.

2) Children as early as kindergarten are expected to recite the oath. Red Skelton thinks he knows what it means to pledge an oath to a flag, but 5 year olds can barely pronounce words like "allegiance".

Red Skelton apparently cited The Pledge 100s of times before anyone told him what it meant.

3) Mennonites, like Dad, are anabaptists. I thought that meant "against baptism". It actually means they object to children being baptised BEFORE they are mature enough to have the intelligence to consciously decide that they want to be baptised.

If you follow the logic, anabaptists would object to immature children pledging allegiance, with or without the phrase "under God".

Makes sense?

Pillory Hillary?

Chelsea Clinton was asked if her mother's credibility was damaged by the way she handled the Monica Lewinsky affair. This suggests that Hillary still has credibility -- having embellished the story about sniper fire in Bosnia.

I remember a morning news interview on a show like NBC's Today Show or ABC's Good Morning America. Hillary pleaded for the public to defer judgment about Bill until all of the evidence was in.

Like OJ Simpson on the prowl for the real killer, Hillary is still waiting for enough evidence to surface. If we don't prejudge Bill, can we still pillory Hillary?

They're all a bunch of guppies.

Tony Blair is no Winston Churchill.
George W. Bush is no Ronald Reagan.
Hillary Clinton is no Margaret Thatcher.
Barach Obama is no Nelson Mandella.

John McCain has a tiny dose of Harry Truman's straight talk style and Ross Perot's military street cred.

They might be whales but they act like guppies.

Clinton says: Obama hates America

Bill Clinton, in a McCarthyite moment, suggested that Obama hates America.

Regardless of your politics, I think we can all agree it comes from an unimpeachable source.

"A Purpose Driven Life"

According to Mitt Romney, A Purpose Driven Life refers to those who do not have faith.

This contradicts the definition used by Rick Warren in his book of the same name.
