Hoaxes Internet Politics

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

For the first time since August I present to you an Internet hoax that’s currently making its rounds all throughout cyberspace. People actually believe this outrageous nonsense as fact:

Fwd: Fw: Fwd: re Sarah Palin & creationism

Below are some actual quotes by Governor Palin during a series of interviews by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006 when she was running for Governor… PASS THIS ON. As you can see Iʼm not giving up on this, itʼs way too important to us as Jews.

On Creationism:

The simple yet elegantly awkward moose proves God’s creation and not evolution is the source of all life. How could something as oddly shaped and silly looking as a moose evolve through so-called “natural selection?” Is evolution a committee? There is nothing natural about a dorky moose! Only God could have made a moose and given it huge antlers to fight off his predatory enemies. God has a well known sense of humor, I mean He made the platypus too.

On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR:

God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats.

Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoying caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new, at the time, custom Austri an hunting rifle. And guess what? That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great!

On Alaskans serving overseas in Iraq:

Well, God bless them, and I mean God and Jesus because without Jesus we’d be Muslims too or Jewish, which would be a little better because of the superior Israeli Air Force.

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Now approaching its 1ST anniversary – it’s the flagship weekly blog series that needs no introduction:

1.  Once Hurricane Ike blew by well to our south earlier in September the Atlantic and Caribbean tropical storm season began to wind down to nearly nothing. It’s pretty much done and over with now, but we still have to deal with the Gulf Of Mexico tropical storm season for another month or so. Instead of looking southeast for future storms that could possibly affect us look southwest. Remember Hurricane Wilma during the final week of October 2005 ?

2.  Americans are generally gullible. Most of them will believe just about anything that the overwhelmingly left-wing media presents to them. All of the broadcast and cable television networks are rooting hard for the Obama / Biden ticket to win it all on Election Day. That’s why you see little to no negative coverage on either Democratic candidate even though they both have plenty of ‘junk in the trunk’.

3.  If the McCain / Palin ticket loses on Election Day it’s because they couldn’t or wouldn’t stoop as low as the Democrats have done throughout the past decade to get their candidates into the White House. I have seen virtually no television commercials for John McCain. Barack Obama’s heavily-funded campaign has been saturating television advertising with their misleading and outright false commercials since before their convention this past Summer.

4.  I’m looking forward to the return of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ later this Fall. It’s where I walk around my neighbourhood bright and early on Saturday mornings. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then check this out for a recap.

5.  Me and a friend saw “Lakeview Terrace” at the box office last Saturday night. I had high expectations for it, and it was even better than I expected it to be. I was rivetted to the flick from start to finish. It was by far the best movie that I’ve seen at the theatre in nearly 15 months !  It was so good that I plan to see it all over again via Netflix when it comes out on DVD.
