Reader Poll: Harry is Scary

Reader...Did you know that Harry Reid is a Mormon? Should that be scary? Please read the following poll and select the number that IS NOT TRUE about Mormonism

1) Mormonism began with Joseph Smith's visions, and his translations of "golden tablets" buried in Pennsylvania in the early 1800's. These tablets were left there by a civilization that migrated across the Atlantic Ocean. Only a few of Joseph Smith's inner circle actually "saw" these tablets.

(The detailed history and civilization described in the Book of Mormon does not correspond to anything found by archaeologists anywhere in the Americas. The Book of Mormon describes a civilization lasting for a thousand years, covering both North and South America, which was familiar with horses, elephants, cattle, sheep, wheat, barley, steel, wheeled vehicles, shipbuilding, sails, coins, and other elements of Old World culture. But no trace of any of these supposedly very common things has ever been found in the Americas of that period)

2) The Curse of Cain (the black race is not entitled to hold God's priesthood because it is cursed; this doctrine was not abandoned until 1978)

3) Joseph Smith died not as a martyr, but in a gun battle in which he fired a number of shots. He was in jail at the time, under arrest for having ordered the destruction of a Nauvoo newspaper which dared to print an exposure (which was true) of his secret sexual liaisons. At that time he had announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, set up a secret government, and secretly had himself crowned "King of the Kingdom of God."

• Since the founding of the church down to the present day the church leaders have not hesitated to lie, to falsify documents, to rewrite or suppress history, or to do whatever is necessary to protect the image of the church. Many Mormon historians have been excommunicated from the church for publishing their findings on the truth of Mormon history.

4) All of the above are TRUE

The correct answer to today's poll is that all are factually correct. Reader...would you want the man who holds to this religion to be at the controls of the "space ship" we call the United States Senate????

Can Mitch Only Bitch???

*** McConnell became a member of the US Army Reserve during his final semester of law school. After induction at Fort Knox, Kentucky, McConnell was released early from his active-duty military service in August 1967.^[5]A US Senator for whom McConnell had interned wrote a letter in August 1967 to the commanding general at Fort Knox, asking when McConnell would be "cleared" from active duty so as to attend New York University. The registrar's office at NYU has no record of McConnell applying or registering for classes. According to a former campaign manager, McConnell received a medical discharge for optic neuritis (a symptom of multiple sclerosis). McConnell has declined to be interviewed regarding this issue, or to release medical records. Mitch has been an ardent supporter of the War in Iraq


*** In its 2009 report, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named McConnell one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress, stating that "Sen. McConnell's ethics issues stem primarily from (1) earmarks he inserted into legislation for clients of his former chief of staff in exchange for campaign contributions and (2) the misuse of his nonprofit McConnell Center for Political Leadership at the University of Louisville."


*** In 1996, Senator McConnell demanded that President Clinton allow White House aides to testify under oath. On April 1, 2007, Chris Wallace claimed that McConnell's stance on Karl Rove and Harriet Miers testifying under oath in relation to the Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy was contradictory. Wallace asked, "In 1996, you were saying those White House aides should testify in open hearing. These were White House aides of Bill Clinton, in open hearing under oath. Why shouldn't the same rules apply for the Bush White House and people like Karl Rove?" McConnell replied, "And what I’m telling you is the president's going to make that decision."

Boehner Phoenetically is B-O-N-E-R

*** He grew up as one of twelve children, which, in part, explains why he would later so adamantly oppose including funding for those contraceptives in the original stimulus package. (Of course, it's common knowledge that unwanted teen pregnancies ultimately cost far more than sending a box of rubbers to some high school kids, but that would require Boehner to take five minutes of free time to think about it instead of doing all that manscaping.)

*** John's theory on climate change..."The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know when they do what they do you've got more carbon dioxide." While many scientists have taken exception to the 15 things that are factually incorrect about that statement, researchers are most surprised at Boehner's inability to just say the word "defecate."

*** In May 2009, weekly tracking polls indicated that Boehner remained the most unpopular member of Congress , though it is unclear if this statistic factored in his favorability among elderly conservative women or the staff of Jamaica Me Tan in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Who are These People???

Why the gridlock in Washington? This week the Doctor gives us some info about the cast of "characters" in Congress.

Madame Speaker

*** Next month, Nancy will be 70 years old

*** Born in Baltimore, her father was a US Congressman and Mayor of that city

*** Nancy's net worth is measured in tens of millions of dollars...making her one of the richest members of the House

*** Nancy represents an overwhelmingly Democratic district in San Fransisco. Since 1987, she has been winning reelections by overwhelming margins and her last public debate with an opponent was in 1987

Reader...if we listen to the Republicans, Nancy Pelosi is THE obstacle to bi-partisan legislation in the House. The Doctor does not know if this is true (?) However, given that she represents one of the most Liberal districts in our country...can we blame her for pushing a "liberal agenda" This is her job...to represent her "peeps" Our country is nearly 50% Blue and 50% Red (sorry Independents)...should we not have leaders from Districts that represent this cross section? Nancy is basically not held accountable for her legislative (lack of) leadership because of the severely left leaning of her electorate.

Sunday (not so funny) Funny...cause it's true
