Barack Obama?

Indonesian photographer Ilham Anas bears a striking resemblance to the U.S. President, making him a TV star and a potential target for Islamic fundamentalists.

Target, right, and Rufus

Glenn Beck was spared today at the Pinal County animal shelter in Florence, Arizona. An employee picked  Target  from  the pen  instead  of  Glenn  Beck, and  administered  a  lethal  injection.  

.

“I am heartsick over this,” Ruth Stalter, the county’s animal care and control director, said in a statement. “I had to personally deliver the news to the dog’s owner, and then  Roger Ailes. Everyone is understandably distraught.”

.

The organization that raised the several thousand dollars to bring Target to the United States, has expanded its mission to encourage installation of a microchip  in  Glenn Beck  so  he can be easily traced.  “We are not shying away from this,” said Heather Murphy, a county spokeswoman. “We screwed up, and we’re acknowledging that.” She continued, “but there is roadkill to pick up, and we recently had to pick up 154 cats from a trailer with no running water, in addition to Glenn Beck. These jobs are thankless even on a good day.”

.

Already, one former employee has come forward to say that he almost euthanized the wrong animal on several occasions, instead of Glenn Beck. “They said, ‘Ah, don’t worry about it, mistakes happen,’ and we went on,” the former employee, Jason Melroy, told local television station KTAR.
.

Glenn Beck said all of his lucky escapes are due to the special underwear Mormons wear. "Joseph Smith was right," said Beck. "When I get back on the air, I am going to do an exposé on how this shelter is funded by George Soros. I am convinced my incarceration was orchestrated by the International Jewish Conspiracy. They and Soros are pulling the strings."

.

Glenn Beck still has not denied any involvement with an alleged rape and murder of a girl, in 1990. "If anything," Glenn Beck said, "the time spent in that shelter has hardened my resolve."

A Few Words From Mike Huckabee

"...what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards..."

.

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that's what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than trying to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family."

An Open Letter to Eric Cantor

Eric Cantor is a shondeh

Shondeh of the Week is here.

Mr. Cantor: Judaism revolves around three tenets:

- Judaism holds that to save one life, is to save the entire world.

- Judaism believes our duty is תיקון עולם, tikkun olam - literally "world repair."

- "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn." Rabbi Hillel (c.110BCE-10CE)

So what did Mr. Cantor say? Cantor is the only Jewish Republican in Congress. He believes the American-Jewish community is overwhelmingly Democratic because Jews “are prone to want to help the underdog.” He says it as if that is basically a character defect.

Now Cantor is threatening to repeat Gingrich's government shutdown, if he and his cronies don't get their way. Here is the real Judaism, from the New York Times:

Kindness of a Stranger That Still Resonates

"A donor using the pseudonym B. Virdot offered modest cash gifts to families in need. His only request: Letters from the struggling people describing their financial troubles and how they hoped to spend the money.

B. Virdot was...Samuel J. Stone, who escaped poverty and persecution as a Jew in Romania to build a successful chain of clothing stores in the United States.

Days before Christmas 1933, with Mr. Stone’s gift in hand, Edith May took her 4-year-old daughter Felice to a five-and-dime store and bought her a wooden horse. Seventy-seven years later, Felice May Dunn owns two farms and 17 Welsh ponies. “In my life it made a big difference,” Ms. Dunn, 80, recalled. “It was my favorite toy.”                                                     __________

.

Several years ago, I drove a tractor-trailer long haul. While on the Interstate at night in Connecticut, it started bucketing rain; I slowed to 40mph. Just then, the car in front of me began fishtailing, turned perpendicular and stopped. I was able to stop the truck, which had ABS, literally three feet from the driver's door. All I could think was, 'I saved a life.'

.

I suggest Mr. Cantor learn compassion, and learn to make the World a better place.

Boehner to Hold House Hoedown

WASHINGTON, DC - John Boehner, following in the esteemed footsteps of Sam Rayburn, is going to be elevated to Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives with the victory of a Republican majority. He will celebrate by holding a hoedown in the House rotunda.

.

"This is the best way of celebrating my humble roots," he remarked. "I also will invite my 11 siblings" Mr. Boehner said, as he took a drag on a Camel, his favorite brand. "I worked in my father's tavern, so I will be running the open bar in the rotunda," he confirmed. "We'll only be serving American beer. If you want Heineken, you're out of luck. Same for wine. None of that French stuff. We got California jug wine."

.

Mr. Boehner, perpetually tanned or jaundiced, is relishing the prospect of finally attaining Speaker, after years of being a gofer for senior House members.

Still up in the air is an alleged affair with Lisbeth Lyons, a lobbyist. Mr. Boehner has refused to comment when asked, as has Ms. Lyons. She has not confirmed if she will be invited to the rotunda hoedown. "I bought cowboy boots, just in case," she said. "Do you think his wife will be there?"

O'Donnell in 'The Aristocrats'?

NEW CASTLE - Fresh on the rebound from her defeat by Chris Coons, Christine O'Donnell may be appearing in the Delaware Mountain Community Theatre's production of The Aristocrats.

.

"I know I have spoken out in the past against pre-marital sex and masturbation, but I really need the money" she said, explaining the complete reversal of her fervently held and well known religious beliefs. Christine O'Donnell has gone from Catholic to Wiccan to fundamentalist, back to Catholic, and now Rastafarian. "God always provides a way out," Ms. O'Donnell said.

.

O'Donnell's physical attributes have been well publicized, having been graphically described and read about, by over 1,216,553 people. "If just a teeny fraction of those one million readers buy tickets, it will be a success, and worth it," Ms. O'Donnell said.

.

The remainder of the cast is still being auditioned. Casting calls are being held at Biker Joe's Lounge, in Newark.
