"How did I grow these giant pumpkins? Well, son,
have you ever heard of 'Enriched Uranium'?"
A confidential analysis by staff of the UN nuclear
watchdog has concluded that Iran has acquired
'sufficient information to be able to design and produce'
an atom bomb, only 64 years after the United States
did the same thing. Impartial observers are wondering
why it took Iran more than a half-century to try to equal
the United States' ability to kill hundreds of thousands
of people with just a couple of bombs, like it did in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

"'National interest'? Do you honestly think that I,
the world's smallest chameleon, give a flying
fig about 'national interest'? 'National interest'
is a fiction invented by humans, who need it to
believe that they're part of something big,
even bigger than me."

Before Glenn Beck came along, the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints had been unsuccessful in converting
other Christian fundamentalists to Mormonism. But
with Beck, the Church now has its greatest apostle to
the Gentiles since Brigham Young.

If you really believed the American flag to be sacred,
you would treat it with the same reverence which
orthodox Jews show toward the Tetragrammaton,
YHWH (which they refuse to pronounce, even when
it's translated into English as 'God'). You would
think the flag is so full of extraordinary power that
touching it would lead to your immediate destruction
and even gazing at it would render you totally blind.
