And now for something totally different
Okay. So I thought I could handle it till the election. I mean, it is only just a little over a week away.
But I can't.
I can't take one more email. I can't take one more outlandish, outrageous, absurd lie about Barack Obama.
I just can't.
I've laughed till I cried at the daily emails sent to me by my well intentioned neighbor who is convinced that Senator Obama is a Muslim communist terrorist who should get deported, because, of course, he is not an American citizen.
But yesterday I spent the last of my patience with the crazy rumors when I talked to my Irish Catholic, Kennedy-loving mother in law who somehow got herself wrapped up in an email convincing her that Barack Obama is the AntiChrist.
If you don't like Obama because of his politics or his policies or his color or his style or his wife or his gender or his shoe size, then just say so. But please, I beg of you, don't forward internet nonsense. This stuff is winding up in the boxes of the ignorant and vulnerable and it can be downright dangerous. Surely, you haven't forgotten it is a sin to bear false witness on your neighbor.
Firstly, Senator Obama is not a Muslim. I would have NO problem with him if he was, but he isn't. He was baptized in 1988 at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. He hasn't released his baptismal certificate because historically no presidential candidates do.
Interestingly, according to Fox News (and you can take that for what it's worth), John McCain has NOT been baptized. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,296973,00.html
Senator Obama is, and always has been, an American. I know, it is hard for many of you mainlanders to believe, but Hawaii is indeed a part of the US of A. Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii (same as my very American kids). His birth certificate can be viewed online, if you don't believe me. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html
John McCain, however, was NOT born in the United States. He was born in Panama. But you don't see your inbox getting filled up with petty crap about that, do ya? No. You don't.
Oh, and yes, Senator Obama did register for selective service. On September 4, 1980 to be exact. His registration number is 61-1125539-1.

And ya know that crack headed email from missionaries in Kenya about Obama being Muslim and Odinga's cousin? Yeah, that was written by the same crack headed missionaries who claim our flag is satanic. And if you want to align yourself with them, well, then, you're a crack head.

Here's another huge conspiracy debunked... easily. The reason you can't find any copies of the articles Obama published as a professor at the University of Chicago is... drum roll please... because he didn't publish any articles as a professor at the University of Chicago.
Huh.
Senator Obama also really isn't an alien super hero from the planet Krypton. That was a joke.

He doesn't eat live goldfish or huff poop. He loves his kids and his country and Chicago pizza. He wasn't born wealthy and didn't grow up poor. He's just a regular, old middle class dude that done good.
Oh, and Barack Obama never said, “My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.”

Did I leave anything out? If I did, please, by all means, clog up my inbox with it. I haven't anything better to do with my time than play research monkey to all the unpatriotic haters of American democracy who obviously sit around thinking of more insanity to add to the mix in order to avoid talking about the real issues that affect real Americans.
And remember, when you forward that crap, you too are guilty of bearing false witness and will have to atone for your actions.
Start with forwarding this email to start spreading a little truth out there.

Well, on the up side, I at least have one reader left on my blog. I'll dub him Crazy Anonymous Pigeon Man, My Loyal Fan. Or, CAPM MLF for short.
I can't even read this as a comment from the anonymous poster. It looks more like one of those gobbleygook spam messages that plague my email box.
You and I must have the same crazy neighbours. Mine had the audacity to call our town hall and report me for having my Obama sign out 3 days too early!
I've been waiting for your commentary on the election....better late than never ;-) You never disappoint.
CAPM MLF just made my day. I want an LBT now.
