The World According to DUBYA

Then God spoke all these words, saying:

Original: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Updated: I am the idiot, your President, who brought you into the land of Allah, into the land which had no WMDs.

O: You shall have no other gods before me

U: You shall have no other Presidents before me – maybe Puppeteers Karl Rove and Dick Cheney – But not other Presidents.

O: You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.

U: Don’t use the Lord’s name as a swear word. Use a real cuss word like shit or sonofabitch, but never Goddamn. Mama will warsh y’er mouth out with talk like that.

O: Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy.

U: Don’t work on Sunday. Unless you’re planning strategic attacks around the world and hoping to buy a “My president went to Baghdad and all he got me was this lousy” t-shirt.

O: Honour your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

U: Yea, though I walk through the Rose Garden of the White Palace, I don’t forget my Mama and Daddy and the way they told me not to slouch or chew with my mouth open.

O: You shall not murder.

U: Don’t kill people. Get someone else to do it for you.

O: You shall not commit adultery.

U: Be faithful to your wife. Even if you were drunk or high at the time you met, proposed or stood at an altar with her.

O: You shall not steal.

U: Don’t take stuff that don’t belong to you. Unless no one will ever find out.

O: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

U: Don’t falsely witness your neighbors’ bear against anything.

O: You shall not covet your neighbour’s house, wife, slave, ox, donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbour.

U: No coveting the house next door. Also, no coveting the neighbor’s wife, slave, ass or anything else over there. (psst, Karl, what the hell does covet mean?)

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
