  1. Funny yes, but if I were McCain I’d sue his ass for using the approval bit at the end. I wonder if he could get into trouble for that.

  2. Who knows? Maybe McCain did approve it.

    On a more serious note, did you hear that Jesus was palling around with Arabs, and even more worryingly, that he was actually born in the Middle East? I heard he was a Palestinian.

  3. Absolutely brilliant!

    Woody Guthrie once wrote a song called “Christ for President” which he never recorded. It was covered by Billy Bragg and Wilco on their album of Guthrie songs “Mermaid Avenue”

    Here are the lyrics:

    Let’s have Christ our President
    Let us have him for our king
    Cast your vote for the Carpenter
    That they call the Nazarene

    The only way
    We could ever beat
    These crooked politician men

    Is to cast the moneychangers
    Out of the temple
    Put the Carpenter in

    Oh it’s Jesus Christ our President
    God above our king
    With a job and pension for young and old
    We will make hallelujah ring

    Every year we waste enough
    To feed the ones who starve
    We build our civilization up
    And we shoot it down with wars

    But with the Carpenter
    On the seat
    Way up in the capitol town

    The USA
    Be on the way
    Prosperity bound

    And here it is on Last.fm

  4. I loved it too! Spread the word about this Jesus character! He’s dangerous! ;-)

  5. Don’t get me started now, Reverend. I’ve been trying to leave comments on your loony religious site all evening without success. Blogger is down again, quel surprise!

  6. I have had no problem putting up posts on my loony site – check out the latest post – I am quite proud of it (says he modestly) :-) BTW I just got tickets for Ireland V Canada n Thomond Pk – Do you want to meet up for a pint before/after the match?

  7. Not blaming you. It’s stupid Blogspot that keeps crashing.

    I’d love to meet up for a pint, but aren’t you just a bit worried that one of your parishioners might drop dead in protest at your meeting with heathens? (Like the last time).

  8. I can always argue I’m engaged in missionary activity and that the fate of your immortal soul depends on my presence!

  9. Now, now Bock, Jesus didn’t have anything to do with Arabs, he’s a decent family man. But I heard that the finacial crisis happened because he kicked the money lenders out of the temple. And some say, now don’t spread this around, I’m not 100% sure about it, …but.. some say that, ..well… he’s a jew.

  10. Well, see, there’s the problem. If you look into the background of Jesus’s family, turns out he’s a Palestinian. In fact, it turns out all these Jews are Palestinians. In fact, it turns out there’s no difference between them and the rest of the Palestinians, who turn out to be, in fact, A-Rabs.

    They’re all A-Rabs.

    Well Gosh-darnit, if that ain’t the darnedest thing.

    Very un-American, if you ask me.

  11. Looks like we’ll just have to nuke the whole lot then. I just can’t understand why people in other countries can’t be more patriotic towards the US. I mean, after Richard Nixon killed Napoleon in world war two and saved the earth, you’d think people would kinda be eternaly indebted to the US. Just look at those ungrateful Eye-raqis after we gave them liberty in operation Beautiful-Freedom-Liberty-Greeted-With-Flowers. The mind boggles.

  12. They’re all A-Rabs.
    Well Bock yes and no..
    They were originally Egyptian construction workers who revolted against their bosses and fucked off across a swamp called the reed sea (not the Red sea as we were led to believe). They stole their boss’s gold and crossed the Sinai dessert. They came to a verdant valley and then Moses said “This land is our land! because God appeared to me in a burning bush (Burning Bush !! now there’s a thought Dubya) and told me to take it from these Palestinians. So they are a-rabs but not Palestinians. They’re actually Egyptians.

  13. Well theres a good deal of evidence to suggest that the tribe of Abraham originally came to Palestine from the Arabian penninsula.

  14. Ah, but they weren’t always in Egypt, were they? I believe they were led there by a guy called Joe, who might well have been a plumber.

  15. Are u sure it wasn’t Joe Sixpack and I think hes was a Polish Doctor pretending to be a plumber. Himself and Paddy the Plasterer had a contract on pyramid building prior to the credit squeeze.

  16. Oh right. I see. It was a pyramid scheme, was it?
