Isn't it great when one of your elected officials puts your city on the map? I'm sure there are many people thinking about my district with questions like "How can they be so stupid as to elect this guy?"

My congressman, Steve Cohen. For years I've heard his supporters talk about how smart he is. Well, yeah, I see just how smart he is. Not only making with an idiotic analogy regarding Barack Obama and Sarah Palin, but lifting the idea from DailyKos! While watching the video, take a look at Mr. Cohen's hair. Undoubtedly, the tremendous heat generated by the workings of his massive brain is causing an updraft.

Where to begin? Even if you leave out the fact that Jesus is God and Son of God, there are a few points to make (to be fair, these are mostly culled from other people's comments and are not original with me):

• Jesus was not a community organizer. He was an itinerant preacher with some devoted followers. His focus was on God and on relating to God properly. I'll bet you can't find one instance of him trying to help someone make contact with the government to get anything.
• Where Jesus did address people bettering their lives, it was always in the context of what they should do, not in what they could get others to do for them.
• If anybody was a "community organizer", it was Barabbas, the captured revolutionary who was freed while the enthralled crowd was chanting his name.
• Pilate voted "present", and so allowed the innocent to die.
• Jesus was bound to no organization. He clearly had a reform agenda, and wasn't afraid to stand up to his fellows.

Okay, that's enough. I need to get going.
