Last Friday CNN ran a story on the above stain, a worthy investment of media resources given the collapsing economy and an inexplicably close election. Apparently clients at the One Stop Body Shoppe weight loss clinic, see Jesus in the brown form caused by water damage and this keeps them honest about how much they’re eating during the week. It didn’t occur to anyone at the news station to ask these people why Jesus would chose to appear in the form of an icky blob but then again, someone thought this was worthy of reporting, so I guess when your standards are that low you stop asking a lot of questions. I suppose we might all be happy that people generally acknowledge meaning can be found in abstract forms, though when the exercise resembles identifying a passing shape in a cloud, its value is questionable.

I posted that CNN video on my facebook account a few days ago. If you are wondering why the presidential race is neck and neck just watch the video and pay attention to such timeless quotes as “believing is believing.” Yeah, that says it all.

I know. That’s where I found it, (though I wasn’t sure what the linking etiquette was in this case).

For the record, the search query believing Obama brings back a litany of right wing bullshit.

Oh I don’t give a crap about the link.
Hollywood wants us to believe in this shit as well. I live in the boonies in upstate New York and my wife and I went to see a film in Indian Lake. I love these small out of the way theaters. They were showing “Henry Poole Is Here” which is about jesus appearing in a water stain on the exterior of a house. The alleged effigy drips blood throughout the movie. The film infuriated me. The fact that they are selling this hokum to the public by using the magic of fimmaking is in and of itself disgusting. Religion has so much sway over the electorate of this country. So many people believe in the rapture, the day of judgment, heaven and hell, the second coming of jesus, the prophecies and historicism found in the old and new testaments. We are so fucked.

Well, with the economy in shambles, people are likely to see Jesus in just about anything, ’cause they’re desperately hoping for a saviour…

Personally, when I look at that brown water stain I see my uncle Lester looming over my bed at night, right before us having one of our secret visits. Praise be!

From what I understand, the polls are taken primarily through land lines, which are owned usually by older voters. Cell phone users tend to be a younger demographic and more pro Obama. The news channels, especially Fox, know all this, but want it not to get out since a lopsided race makes for poor ratings.
I think Obama is going 2b a victim of watch out what u wish for. It might be bad for a good person to be head of such a bad country, remember, they elected Bush/Chaney twice.

The Hill: There’s no way polls are still taken primarily through landlines. Even my mother has a cell phone, and my parents are about as rural as you get.

Actually, the last statistics I heard had 49% of households still have landlines. Connectivity is not a word they know. I have never been polled, nor has anyone I’m asking who has a cell been so. Moreover, I have a son at the U of MI, and that’s pretty much the rumor he’s heard. How’s that for a credible source?
Landlines still have their place since they are more secure and not prone to eaves dropping from frequency scanners. I think banks still use them too. I guess the only way to know is call Gallop and Qunnipinaicanackackakak.

The Hill,
Please take the time to provide links for your statements so I don’t have to go searching through the web to figure out whether or not I can approve your comments.
Pollster has a full article on the subject of why landlines are called over cellphones and how this effects polling.

Please clarify what polling has to do with the video posted.
