Below is a copy of an email I received recently which is followed by my response.

Am I wrong in sensing a new Obama smear campaign? I have watched the ranting and ravings of Senator Obama’s pastor on [youtube.com] and found it not only unpleasant but unchristian. (Why should I be surprised at that in a church of such black Protestantism.) Others ( Read more... )

WTF? Did you know that there are 11 planets in the solar system now?! Including Pluto! What the hell happened? Are we picking up drifters now? Some no-account planets brought home by that bastard child Pluto? My whole universe is in a tizzy now?
