Support the “No Child Left Behind From War Act of 2008″

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Children are our greatest resource.

Education is our most valuable tool.

The fact that we are not using our greatest resource and most valuable tool to win the Global War on Terrorism is yet more proof that we, as a nation, are a bunch of weak-willed Gumbies.

That is why I hereby propose the “No Child Left Behind From War Act of 2008.”

The U.S. government currently has two programs that are in dire need of modification - the No Child Left Behind Act, and the GI Bill. If these programs are not fixed, quickly and sternly, America will lose this current Global War of Civilizations. This is not acceptable at any cost.

Republican Presidential candidate John McCain has made an astute point in regards to modernizing the current GI Bill - If the U.S. starts offering too much education to veterans, no one will want to be a soldier anymore. McCain envisions a new GI Bill where troops will be forced to “earn” their education dollars by serving longer and longer stints in the military.

“It is important to do that because, otherwise, we will encourage more people to leave the military after they have completed one enlistment,” McCain said.

As for No Child Left Behind, one of its biggest drawbacks has been the fact that it has basically weeded out children that simply are undeserving of an education, as many children have either dropped out or been forced out of schools due to poor grades.

“We Americans can’t afford to have a third or more of our kids not getting through high school — how can we have this?” Colin Powell recently said. “Some places have a 70 percent dropout rate. We can’t have this.”

Mr. Powell’s assessment is absolutely correct. Having such a high dropout rate - and not using it as a way to fight terrorists - is a crime of the highest order and a national shame.

The “No Child Left Behind From War Act of 2008″ will basically splice the NCLB and the GI Bill together, in a way that will both improve education for veterans, while boosting competition in the nation’s schools. And it will do this while bolstering the armed services, and saving billions of dollars in taxpayer money.

Here, in layperson’s terms, is how the “No Child Left Behind From War Act of 2008″ will work:

- All American children will receive a free education from the U.S. government until the age of eight (8) or through third (3rd) grade.

- Children who finish third grade with a grade-point average of less that 4.0 will be taken out of school, and inducted into the military.

What the No Child Left Behind From War Act of 2008 will accomplish:

1) It insures that the U.S. military will have a fresh, eager, young batch of recruits every year to help combat the global swarm of terrorism.

2) It insures that all U.S. schools will meet the strict requirements necessary to continue operation. Within four years, as only children with perfect GPAs will be allowed to be educated, more and more schools can be combined, with the unused schools being made into barracks for the Department of Homeland Security’s new “Kid Corps.”

Then, for each year of service to his country, the child will receive three months of government-sponsored education. This educational benefit can be accrued for up to 40 years.

For example: An 8-year-old finishes third grade with a GPA of 3.8. As a failure, the child is then transfered from the school to the “Kids Corps” division of the U.S. military. After just 40 years of service, that child can then retire from the military at age 48 and go back to school, for a full 10 years. The end result is that underachieving 8-year-old will, 50 years later, be a 58-year-old high-school graduate that has served 10 enlistments fighting terrorists.

Additional Benefits:

1) In keeping with the success of faith-based programs, military educational benefits can only be used at such quality schools as Bob Jones University, Oral Roberts University, Brigham Young University, Steve’s School of Scientology, etc. This will guarantee that our soldier/students will receive wholesome educations following their decades of duty, thus easing them back into society, ready for a career in the service industry.

2) Those already in the military will receive no additional educational benefits, and in fact have their current benefits taken away. This will help keep the nation’s military strong, as experienced soldiers will have little recourse but to continue re-enlisting until they retire, or are killed in service to their country. This will also save an immense amount of tax payer money.

3) When the act is made into law, children over the age of eight will be forced to take a test. Failure of this test will mean the students, regardless of age, will be transfered to the “Kid Corps.”

4) Should a child ever see his or her GPA drop below 4.0, they will be immediately transferred to the “Kid Corps,” again leaving our grade schools and high schools filled with only the best of the best.

The United States is a nation at war. And this is no normal war, it is an indefinable war of civilizations against an enemy that’s willing to use any advantage it can to destroy us all and feast on our entrails while we’re still alive. They have the know-how and the will. The only question is when they will strike. When will these bloodthirsty terrorists decide to band together as one and force us all into a lifetime of slavery and death? This is a question we just don’t have time to answer, educational needs be damned.

That is why the time is now for the “No Child Left Behind From War Act of 2008.” NCLBFWA2008 will take our nation’s greatest resources and tools, combine them, and create an unbeatable fighting machine of children, adults and the elderly. And when the time comes for those that served to be rewarded, they will receive the education they deserve and that we can afford.

Osama bin Laden threatened us! Why isn’t the government terrorizing us!!

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Looking through the Los Angeles Times recently, I noticed something that terrified me to the very core. Osama bin Laden has threatened Israel and its allies.

“We will continue our struggle against the Israelis and their allies,” Bin Laden said in the 10-minute audio released to coincide with Israel’s 60th anniversary and as President Bush was wrapping up his visit there. “We are not going to give up an inch of the land of Palestine.”

Now, this isn’t what frightened me. What truly chilled my bones was this - it was on page B6!!!!

Are you fucking kidding me?? Osama bin Laden has just threatened to obliterate every last man, woman, child and cute little bunny on the planet, and we can’t even get it on the front page??

WHAT IN THE NAME OF FLYING FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!!!

Listen, I have a seven-year-old nephew. All he knows in life is that when Osama bin Laden says something, it’s on the news 24/7, he shits himself for four straight days, hides in the closet for another two days, then he gathers up enough courage to go down and spit on the front lawn of the Indian family who lives down the street. Why? Because he’s American and that’s all he knows. Bin Laden talks, he shits, hides and spits in the vicinity of someone who looks vaguely terrorist-ish.

But now, on Israel’s 60th anniversary, bin Laden, talks smack and we’re all acting like it’s no big whoop. My nephew is totally head-fucked now. He doesn’t know what to do. Hell, the Indian family down the street from him are even confused.

Listen, when Osama bin Laden speaks, I expect my leaders to go bonkers-shit insane and start screaming about wars of civilizations, disembowelments and how Islam is the religion of death. I expect the Homeland Security to create a separate Homeland Security just to protect the original Homeland Security. I expect the terror-alert system to be cranked up to Mauve (”Incomprehensible Terrorist Threat”). I expect the Patriot Act to be tripled in size and voted through before anyone reads it. I expect Muhammad Ali to be hung by his balls.

WHY AREN’T WE BEING TERRORIZED BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!!!

I want President Bush to stand if front of the White House holding Barney and tell the American public that everything’s NOT going to be OK, and we’re all fucked and that the evil IslamoDogEaters will devour each and every dog you love. And I want him to mispronounce “devour” and then smirk and say something like “Ride ‘em Cowboy.” Then we can all feel just that much better about the $700 Trillion we’ve spent to buy Iraq for Exxon.

This is bullshit, I tell you, grade-A bullshit. If there is one thing I demand from my leaders, it’s consistency. And since Sept. 11, 2001, if Osama bin Laden has so much as farted, every right-wing pundit reads the Book of Revelations out loud. Hell, I’m willing to bet the private companies that run interrogation for the U.S. these days are barely torturing their captives any more than normal right now.

This country has been run by one simple premise for the past seven years - if Osama bin Laden, or even someone who sounds like Osama bin Laden, says something, we as a nation take a huge steaming crap of terror because our leaders demand it of us.

If we can’t count on our leaders to scare the shit out of us every time bin Laden does anything, pretty soon, we’ll be ignoring him outright. And then, Iran will have won. It’s as simple as that.

So for the love of all that’s holy, let’s get on it. Fox News, write up some new “Osama Speaks” music that sounds threatening. Replay the Twin Towers falling on a continuous loop, only interspersed with occasional clips of Saddam Hussein, bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Michael Moore. Whatthefuckever. Just. Do. Something. To. Frighten. Us.

A great opportunity to be terrified, put Reynolds Wrap on our windows, and hide in the cellar eating franks and beans from a can has passed us right by. We can’t live like this. Fuck, my nephew is actually starting to look at the Indian family down the street like they’re humans. He’s only seven for Chrissakes, how will he ever learn to dehumanize billions and billions of people if we just ignore random Osama bin Laden tapes?

This nation’s going right down the shitter, I tell you.

Statement from William K. Wolfrum: “I will refine your milkshake”

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

William K. Wolfrum made this statement to all his supporters at 3:30 p.m.

As an American, I’m always on the lookout for endeavors that would be considered heroic. This is generally easy enough because any and all American endeavors are heroic, by definition. But this time, I see that the country is in need, and I will fill that need.

You see, recently, President George W. Bush has stated several hundred times that there have been no new oil refineries built since 1976 and that America could really use some new ones. Bush never points out that no one has offered to build a refinery since 1976, but such lapses are to be accepted from the President, who is busy with other activities such as not golfing.

This is where I will heroically step in. I will build an oil refinery.

Now sure, there will be naysayers, saying nay, as they are prone to do. But I am serious about this. Some may look at my record and see that I have no experience in the oil industry, no knowledge of engineering, and have even failed miserably in attempts to build simple models of sports cars and the such. But I am an American. And everything an American sets out to do can be done.

This project will by no means be simple. However, having recently seen the film “There Will Be Blood,” I feel I have the gist of the oil industry. To put it in layperson’s terms, there’s a lot of milkshake out there that needs some refining. And I plan on refining the holy hell out of it.

I will need help, of course. Primarily I’ll need one of those no-bid government contracts. For say, $300 billion, to start. And if we could make it one of those cost-plus deals, well, that would be just great.

But I’ll also need help from many other Americans. This is the beauty of my plan. Not only will I build a refinery, I will put Americans to work. Because I’d have to assume I’d need a lot of workers to build an oil refinery. Welders, especially. That just seems like a no brainer. Lots of welding needed to build a refinery.

In the end, I envision one hell of an oil refinery. People will bring me oil, all crude and disheveled, and I will refine it. And people will say “Wow, that sure is some refined oil. That sure was a great idea to build an oil refinery. Especially after Exxon, Shell, BP, etc., refused to build one since 1976.”

So my friends, I hope you work with me on this massive project that will save America. Together, we can build a refinery that will have Americans paying $.50 a gallon at the pump and a good steak will only cost a nickel. All because of my refinery.

I have already begun the planning stages for the refinery, and have found the perfect location for it, which you can see by clicking here.

Thank you for your time and I have retained counsel in this matter.

Book Excerpt: “When Your Nation Hands You Fascism, Make Fascism-ade”

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Below is an exclusive except from my upcoming book “When Your Nation Hands You Fascism, Make Fascism-ade” which will be released in the Fall of the year I finish it and published by the publishing company that wins the inevitable bidding war.

Chapter 4
1.
Fascism is not a four-letter word

It was the mid-1930s when Adolf Hitler jauntily strolled through Vienna with genocide in his heart and loving on his mind. Hitler had just taken to wearing the minuscule mustache that would eventually become his trademark. Then known as the Hafenhagenstache (Half-Weasel Mustache), Young Adolf was but following the current craze. At the time, the smaller a man’s mustache and the more perfectly centered it was a sign of virility. Gossip magazines of the time were full of pictures of young men with facial hair that barely covered the philtrum, with such captions as “Guten Gott, das dude gottan gam” (”Good God that dude’s got game.”)

Ironically, it was Hitler himself (who, despite lamentations to the opposite, was not a Fascist but a social Democrat in the mold of Ted Kennedy and Sean Penn) who laid waste to the Hafenhagenstach. Because while the mustache itself was guilty of no crimes whatsoever, it’s proximity to the genocidal dictator who kick-started World War II made the Hafenhagenstach strictly “verboten” (Not cool).

Such is the situation with the word Fascism. According to Wikipedia: “In contemporary political discourse, the term fascist is often used by adherents of some ideologies as a pejorative description of their opponents.”

This is unfortunate, as many great Americans, including Prescott Bush were, in fact, Fascists. Thus the great name of Bush has been sullied by a simple word. Keep in mind, the word “Fascism” has committed no crime, and only gets a bad rap due to its association with bad Fascists, such as Mussolini, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton and Michael Moore.

This creates a conundrum of sorts. The United States of America is now a kick-ass Fascist state, yet everyone is utterly mortified at actually using the word “Fascism.” This is not something that should be a problem, however. One need only look at the Hafenhagenstach. After the Hafenhagenstach was sullied by Hitler, new facial hair styles came into being that took its place, while implying the same thing. The handle-bar mustache, mutton chops and the “Amish Look” have all ascended to take the place of the Hafenhagenstach. One look at a person with mutton chops, a person can quickly make two oft-accurate assumptions - One, the dude can party, and two, the dude is undoubtedly a kick-ass Fascist.

For Fascism to become “Non-Verboten (Not Not Cool), it simply needs a rebranding of sorts. Basically, a name change is demanded. Some examples of potential name changes include “Americanism,” “Patriotism,” or “MileyCyrusism.”

Watch how easily this works, by looking at the definition of Fascism at Merriam-Webster:

Fascism is a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

See how bad that sounds? Now let’s try it a different way:

MileyCyrusism is a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

Much better. After all, how can anything associated with the adorable Miley Cyrus be bad? Americans are by no means ready to be known as Fascists. But being known as MileyCyrusists is something that would quickly catch on, allowing Americans to feel more comfortable being part of a current American system that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

To help prove this point, the archaic and misunderstood word “Fascism” will be replaced with “MileyCyrusism” for the remainder of this chapter.

The 10 Steps of MileyCyrusism

Author and journalist Naomi Wolf created a stir when she chronicled America’s move to MileyCyrusism in the article “(MileyCyrusist) America, in 10 easy steps.” Once again, semantics trumped reality. Because while Wolf was not incorrect in her assessment, her verbiage left much to be desired. Mileycyrusism was once again painted as some horrifying futuristic nightmare, as opposed to the fact that it’s a current reality in the United States. But think about it. If you live in the U.S., you are currently a MileyCyrusist. Do you feel any different? Probably not, because you’ve come to accept your position in life, and there’s a Wal-Mart right around the corner where you can not only get a job as a greeter, but you can get Ramen and sweatshop-made sneakers for little more than eight hours work as a Wal-Mart greeter.

Basically, MileyCyrusism ain’t so bad. But according to Wolf, the way the U.S. has gotten to this point has been through an awful barrage of events. But it’s all just semantics. Take a look at the “10 Steps toward (MileyCyrusism)” and you’ll see how much words matter, and how things may not be quite as bad as you may think. First, I will show you how Wolf described each point, then I will show you how a true MileyCyrusist should interpret these steps:

Wolf

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens’ groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

It all sounds so threatening the way Wolf puts it. But if you take away the partisan spin, you’ll see that these 10 steps toward MileyCyrusism are truly positive:

MileyCyrusism

1. We’re good. They’re evil
2. Emphasize resort living
3. Employ the strong
4. Keep an eye on things
5. Keep open dialog with the people
6. Catch and release in fishing = good. Catch and realease with people = Great!
7. Celebrate individuality
8. Work toward making a stronger media
9. You can’t smile if you’re complaining
10. What do you call 100,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? MileyCyrusism in Action!

You see? We’ve moved toward MileyCyrusism with nothing but good intentions. And now that we’ve achieved nearly complete MileyCyrusism in the United States, it’s truly self-defeating to fear admitting it to ourselves and others. You are a citizen of the greatest nation in the history of history. Now is not the time to cringe and whimper over semantics. So stand strong and tall and announce to the world “I am a MileyCyrusist!” You’ll feel better, and more attuned to reality.

Coming Soon: Chapter 5: Why IslamoMileyCyrusists aren’t real MileyCyrusists.

Report: Faith-Based Initiatives sending Americans straight to Hell

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

HELL — Despite a commitment to “Faith-Based” programs, a new report from St. John’s University shows that there are more Americans going to hell than ever before. In a retroactive study, the report shows that new U.S. entries into Hell have shot up more than 2,000 percent over the past seven years alone.

“This is just fucking awesome,” said Satan in a telephone interview.

The report breaks down the reasons for those being spent to Hades, with Pride and Greed ranking as the top two. The report also takes a look at personality types who have been sent straight to Hell over the past seven years, with “Dittoheads” and “Torture Apologists” being the most popular new members. Satan said it’s been a boom time in Hades.

“We’ve been growing by leaps and bounds,” said Satan, taking a brief respite from gorging on the entrails of Milton Friedman. “We’ve been expanding like never before.”

Satan went on to add that Halliburton has received the majority of the expansion contracts, most coming through a no-bid process.

“They really know what their doing and are the only company I can see that has the ability to make the changes we need,” said Satan.

Many believed that the emergence of “Faith-Based” programs, as instituted by U.S. President George W. Bush, would eventually slow entrances to Hell to a crawl. Instead, it’s been a virtual stampede. Some experts have claimed, however, that such a result was easy to predict.

“Let’s see, No Child Left Behind leaves behind children, the $6-billion Reading First program has left more children unable to read, abstinence-only programs have led to higher teen pregnancy rates, etc., etc.,” said a despondent Jesus Christ from a bar in Sacramento, Calif. “I’m pretty sure if the Bush Administration started a ‘Nipple Protection’ program, the U.S. would be a nipple-less society inside of six months.”

Still, while more and more Americans face up to an eternity of Hellfire, there have been some positive results. Notably, shares of Infernus Industries have risen more than 300 percent over the past quarter alone.

“Seriously, this has just been fucking fantastic,” said Satan.

I am 62 percent Muslim, therefore I am 62 percent more likely to be tortured

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

My friends, it is time I admit to a hidden truth. I am 62 percent Muslim.

I’m not sure how it happened. Deep in my heart, I believe Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all quite similar to Scientology - as cults. The “Big Three” just has the advantage of having been around so long that people accept them as respectable. But they’re all the same to me.

Nonetheless, it turns out I am 62 percent Muslim. Which makes me 62 percent more likely to be enslaved and tortured in a U.S. internment camp like Guantanamo Bay, or somewhere in the hills of Romania. Hopefully, I’ll catch a break as despite being 62 percent Muslim, I am really, really a crappy Muslim. Hell, I’m eating a pork sandwich as I type this.

But I respect the fact that 62 percent of me is a non-believing, non-practicing Muslim. I’m not sure what the rest of me is, but my latest trip to the doctor leads me to believe a good portion of the other 38 percent is pure cholesterol.

Anyway, I just wanted to be open and honest about how I break down on a percentile basis when it comes to being a Muslim. Feel free to find out how Muslim you are at Are You a Muslim?

President John W. McCain: Wikipedia entry, 2015

Monday, April 28th, 2008

From the year 2015, an excerpt from the Wikipedia biography of President John W. McCain:

“When McCain won the U.S. Presidency (controversially winning nine states by one vote each), the United States had reached lows it had not seen since the Great Depression era. With the nation at war on four fronts as he took office (Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Alabama), McCain quickly responded by taking an 87-day holiday and changing his middle initial to “Dubya.”

Upon returning to office, McCain continued to do little but show old movies of himself to people visiting the White House. It was under these circumstances that the U.S. reached full recovery.

It was Sept. 2009 when the “American Miracle,” as many have taken to calling it, began. First, the dollar strengthened based on absolutely nothing. Job creation also skyrocketed, as business owners around the nation decided that hiring people could be a way for their companies to stop hemorrhaging money. Acting on this news, oil prices plummeted to $42 a barrel, and the price of gas at U.S. pumps averaged $1.28 a gallon.

Health insurance rates plummeted based on the “well, everyone else is doing it,” economic theory. Wealth inequality closed dramatically as the poor were not anywhere near as poor and the rich were just slightly less rich. All U.S. infrastructure simultaneously strengthened in 2010, based on what McCain called the “successful privatization of the U.S. infrastructure.” Critics pointed out that no private companies had done anything, and that it had all just sort of “happened.”

Not long after the American Economic Miracle came the American Military Miracle. Basically, based on the news of the strengthened dollar, radical Islamicists all spontaneously gave up and supported a democratic system with a Freidman-inspired economy in Iraq, Iran, and Syria and promised never to do terrorism again. Alabama chose to continue to its Civil War battle, however, albeit it peacefully.

McCain never admitted to knowing how it all occurred, instead lavishing praise on the Conservative Ideology. “I’m a Conservative, so I knew along everything would come together,” said McCain in 2014. McCain also pointed to conservatism for the victory in the drug war, as everyone stopped doing any type of non-legal drug, all stating that they were too high on life to get high on anything else.

Former President George W. Bush was quick to take credit for most everything, however.

“I always knew my legacy would show my greatness. Now, as I live my legacy, I only look forward to an even better legacy in the years to come,” Bush told the New York Times in 2014 from his compound in Paraguay. Still, Bush was unable to exactly explain how the “American Miracle” took place. “First off, I think by sheer force of personality, I created a better world. Secondly, God.”

The McCain Presidency has been called the “Second Camelot” by many, as the public enjoyed peace and prosperity. McCain’s vibrant personality and jovial personality gave Americans a standard bearer for how to react during bad times. And by just thinking more positively as a nation, as some government officials stated, everything just magically got better.

Whether a critic or a fan, few can doubt that John McCain was the greatest U.S. President of the 21st century. Without having a plan, without actually doing anything, McCain saved the United States of America.”

Report: Bush, Cheney in W.H. while thousands die in wars, economy tanks, civil liberties crushed, etc. - also, Hillary in W.H. when Bill had affair

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

WASHINGTON — New found evidence has shown that President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney were officially in the White House when two wars were ordered, leading to widespread death and a complete embarrassment for the nation as both wars turned into horrible failures while leaving the nation’s military in shambles, according to experts.

The new evidence also points out that Bush and Cheney were in the White House as the nation’s economy tanked, home foreclosures went through the roof, the federal deficit exploded, widespread corruption occurred, oil and gas prices hit record highs, and wealth inequality widened substantially.

The evidence also points that Bush and Cheney were in the White House when Habeas Corpus ceased to exist in the U.S., torture became legalized, and eavesdropping on Americans became commonplace.

When asked for comment, Cheney said simply, “So?”

Also, the entire mainstream media has jumped on the possibility that Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton may have possibly been in the White House while her husband Bill was having an affair more than 12 years ago.

Statement by William K. Wolfrum: I denounce everything everyone has ever said, ever

Monday, March 17th, 2008

William K. Wolfrum made this statement to all his supporters at 3:30 p.m.

This year, more than ever, being a Blogger is the most important job in the world, and I say this without a whit of hyperbole.

However, being a top-notch Blogger has many responsibilities. Such as, one must be entirely clean from even the whiff of scandalous statements. There is no way a blogger can get his or her message across if someone, somewhere said something that offended someone else, somewhere else.

That is why today, I, William K. Wolfrum, officially denounce everything everybody has ever said, anywhere, ever.

I take this action because my staff has informed that people can be offended by a wide range of comments from “The Pope is a Bastard” to “Hey Sally, good morning!”

That is why I felt it necessary to what’s now known as a “mass denunciation” of all comments ever made on this planet. Please note, I also denounce my use of the phrases “The Pope is a Bastard” and “Hey Sally, good morning!” and apologize for using them and hope people will see that I was just using them as an example.

In fact, let’s be honest, most the things I’ve written, said, and even thought throughout my life have been controversial and offensive, to say the least. I denounce all of it, effective immediately. I hope my self-denunciation shows how serious I am on this effort to distance myself from all things offensive so that the nation’s dialogue can continue.

I’d like to point out that I am firm in my denouncements. I am not in any way trying to sneak a secret message across to the media, where reporters or fellow bloggers could grab a statement from here and use it as something to denounce me for. My denouncement is all-encompassing, and done with complete and utter honesty, and, in fact, includes a complete denouncement of this Statement of Denouncement.

I hope this statement clears things up about my beliefs of the statements of others. Because during this time of great importance, it’s vital we are all able to focus on real issues, like Eliot Spitzer’s recent bust on prostitution charges.

Note: I also denounce my above usage of the words “prostitution” and “Spitzer.”

Thank you for your time and I have retained counsel in this matter.
