On a Scale of One to Muslim, How Muslim is Barack Obama?

July 25, 2008 AT 04:34PM | Comments (0)

From Indecision 2008...

This Fox News poll is headlined "Does Barack Obama Get Better Treatment by the Press." I'm assuming they mean "better treatment than John McCain," not "better treatment than Lindsay Lohan," although that is certainly a question worth asking, if we are being fair and balanced.

At any rate, buried deep in the .pdf of the poll results -- but not mentioned in the accompanying story -- is this gem of a question...

Some people believe Barack Obama, despite his professed Christianity, is secretly a Muslim. Others say that is just a rumor and Obama really is a Christian as he says, and point out he's attended a Christian church for years. What do you believe -- is Obama a Muslim or a Christian?

Muslim: 10%
Christian: 57%

I guess the remaining 33% think Barack Obama is Jewish. Which kinda makes sense.

I mean, Jesus was a Jew, right?

Is Obama Bad for Black People?

There are a lot of people a President Obama would be bad for. Racists, John McCain, The Joker, other racists. But black people? Could a black president be bad for black people? [SPOILER ALERT] No. But CNN is ontop of the story anyway. They're ontop of it so hard and good. And on last night's Daily Show, Larry Wilmore gave them the credit they deserve.

Obama Gets Heckled at Israel's Western Wall

July 24, 2008 AT 05:00PM | Comments (0)

From Indecision 2008...

Barack Obama's Rainbow Tour, so far, has been an incredible success... with a few bumps here and there.

For example, before departing from Israel -- a country so holy that all of its citizens are constantly on the precipice of being carried away by God -- Obama stopped at the Western Wall to look solemn for cameras, pretend to pray and leave a personal note to God in a crack of the wall. (Unfortunately, I don't think anyone told Obama that God only picks up on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so his missive will have to wait.)

While he was there for the hallowed photo op, he attracted a healthy-sized crowd of mostly supporters, with one notable exception...

[O]ne man at the Wall began screaming: "Obama, Jerusalem is our land! Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale!"

He kept yelling this for Obama's entire 10 minutes at the Wall, refusing to stop despite repeated entreaties to do so from the crowd... The heckler, not an Obama fan, continued yelling.

Well, that's jumping to some conclusions. We don't know for a fact that the heckler wasn't a fan. He could have been trying to sell Obama on a really good deal on a Syria, but with Israeli parts. It's a very good deal, you won't find it anywhere else in the region.

Who Said It: Bush or Batman?

From Indecision 2008...

Can you guess which of these quotes -- provided by Philadelphia sketch group, Secret Pants -- belong to our president, George W. Bush, and which belong to Batman from his 1960s TV series?

It's harder than you think...

The old guy came closest to getting a perfect score.
