History in the making…

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Before a crowd of cheering thousands, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois laid claim to the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday night, taking a historic step toward his once-improbable goal of becoming the nation’s first black president.

Just in case you weren’t paying attention as history was unfolding, GO HERE for more video excerpts, etc.

I opened my mailbox this evening and amongst a stack of junk and bills was a token of appreciation from the throat and lung cancer fairies, RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. Sent with love and care, the high quality, glossified and colorful box with a hip design was chalked full of…well, we’ll get to that in a minute…

Dig the presentation:

Pretty cool, huh?

But uh, I’m not a smoker, so how did they get my address?

Well, you see, now comes the part where I have to admit I am somewhat of a hypocrite (and a ‘baby’ liar) for some of what you just read just a few words ago.

Truth is. . .

Since I first learned of the Pope Benedict XVI/ Islam Controversy over his usage of the quotation . . .

Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.

. . . I have been outraged. Not because I am of Islamic faith, but because the last thing that the Western hemisphere needs at this point in time is a highly ranking representative of the Roman Catholic church spouting off medieval quotes about the so called evilness and inhumanity of Muhammad and his followers. Talk about the definition of a “shit starter”; we should paste a picture of the pope’s wrinkly ass right next to it.

And let’s keep it real – true, he apologized, but we all know that he’s really not that sorry about what he said. If you’ve even remotely followed this guys steez, you already know the deal.

Not surprisingly, in response to the Popes speech, Muslim extremists are declaring war on all “cross bearers” and claiming the war will not cease until all are converted or fall to the sword. And even though I am not a Christian, if the day were to come, I would be treated as such because I live on American soil.

Aren’t we living 2006? When is this “The Empire Strikes Back” shit going to end? Never . . . I suppose.
