GETTING HIGH FOR THE END TIMES

Surely this must be a sign of the end times.

Pat Robertson has come out for the legalization of marijuana.

"I'm not exactly for the use of drugs, don't get me wrong, but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot, that kinda thing it's just, it's costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people. Young people go into prisons, they go in as youths and come out as hardened criminals. That's not a good thing."

-- Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson on a recent segment of his 700 Club television show.

SIGNS

I was in Dallas the other day when there was an Amber alert.  The electronic highway signs read:

Kidnapped Girl

Slvr Ford Focus

Call Police

And I thought how I'd hate to be driving a silver Ford Focus that day. 

At a Tulsa beauty salon the sign reads:

Waxing $5 and Up

So I wonder how they price?  Does it depend on your level of hairyness or how good a job you want done?

I'm just askin'.

NIXON, ON TAPE

From some newly released Richard Nixon tapes, Nixon on the Irish:
"The Irish can’t drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I’ve known gets mean when he drinks. Particularly the real Irish.”

Nixon on Italians:
“The Italians, of course, those people course don’t have their heads screwed on tight. They are wonderful people, but...” (Voice trails off."
 
Nixon on Jews:
“The Jews are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality.”


 

CHAPPY CHANUKKAH

Tonight is the first night of the Jewish celebration of Hanukah, or Festival of Lights.

The story of Hanukkah is told in the Book of Maccabees.  That book is not part of the Jewish bible.  However, it is part of the Catholic bible.  But Catholics don't celebrate Chanukkah.  Go figure.

(How do you spell Chanukah?  Any way you want.)

KRISTALLNACHT.

I put my electric menorah in the window tonight and lit the first bulb.  So now the neighbors know I'm Jewish. 

There's an old Jewish tradition from the old country that when the goyim find out you're Jewish, they come around at night and break your windows.
