Poor People Are Ruining Our Economy

In recent news, much of the blame for the housing market crash has been placed on greedy bankers and incompetant government. A shocking new discovery has revealed a far more sinister entity, that is ultimately responsible for this mess we are in. Poor people. A new and unbiased study has now revealed that the housing market crash may actually be due to poor people not paying their bills. These alleged poor people, most likely bent on the destruction of America, were eager to get the money. Yet refused to pay up! According to undisclosed sources, they did not act alone. Reportedly, an accomplice was overheard saying, "Every American has the right to home ownership, no matter how much money they make!." This statement is soo scary, if the poor people take over, economic depression is a certainty. Be on the lookout! This could be one of the poor people that caused the housing market crash.

Oprah Found Dead

Sike!

Someone made up a rumor that Oprah Winfrey died today, and everyone believed it. Here is the article on Digg, that has 850 votes digging Oprah's death so far.

Here are some of the comments:
"Good night, sweet princess."

"just saw it confirmed on cnn. RIP oprah :("

"just saw it on bbc. Sad. i'll miss her"

"May she RIP. :'("

While all these people are getting choked up about it on Digg, Oprah is probably fuming. After all, how would you like it if someone told everyone YOU were dead as a practical joke? Who knows, Oprah may decide to have a show about what it's like, when everyone thinks your dead. Oprah's not dead.

Free Levi Sarah Palin's Daughters Babies Daddy

Run Levi! Run run as far as you can, while you still have time!! Bristol Palin's babies daddy has been taken hostage by the republicans. Ha Ha. FreeLevi.org is a free Levi website that has cropped up comparing Levi Johnston to a political prisoner.

Here is a funny excerpt from that website, "But that doesn’t change the fact that right now Levi is America’s number one political prisoner. But Levi, you don’t have to be –this is the 21st century, at least in the blue states. We don’t have sharia law like in Saudi Arabia, or Alabama, and as much as the Bible thumpers would want it, we still don’t have arranged marriages in America. You don’t have to do this – you have options. You can pull a Juno – f!@$, you live in Juneau! Or you could do what most people do with an unwanted child: give it to Angelina Jolie."

Would Bristol Palin be getting married, if Sarah Palin was not running for Vice President? Are Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston being pressured to get married? Who knows?? Oh well, here is a video of Levi with John McCain...

Hurricane Ike Mystery Ship

The Hurricane Ike mystery ship was uncovered near Fort morgan, Alabama due to the high winds that hit the Alabama Gulf Coast from Hurricane Ike. It is an unidentified ship that was buried deep in the beach sand for years. It appears to be steam powered, and many experts are speculating the Hurricane Ike mystery ship to be dated back to the civil war.

The Hurricane Ike mystery ship is about 150 feet long, 30 feet wide, and is primarily made out of wood. An artifact inside the ship, is an old water pump. A long pipe runs all the way down the center of the ship, and there are smaller pipes near by. The Hurricane Ike mystery ship, was discovered at the 6 mile marker on Fort Morgan Road.

Obama Waffles, what?

Two men who were trying to lighten the mood by selling "Obama Waffles" were asked to leave this afternoon after protesters found the boxes racist.

Men from Tennessee traveled to the Values Voter Summit to sell yellow boxes of waffle mix that portray a caricature of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama with a Muslim turban and says "Point box toward Mecca for tastier waffles." The cover of the box portrays a caricature of Obama's face next to waffles, which three protesters from American Atheists found offensive.

Eric Herrman from American Atheists said the box was racist because it conjures up images of Aunt Jemima, the woman portrayed on a syrup bottle.

"Let's say we sold a pig lipstick product, we probably have to leave for the same reason," Herrman said as he handed out literature outside the Hilton Hotel. "A caribou doll would be considered so sexist."

Herrman two others from the organization said they sent reporters down to look at the waffle mix. When they found out that the vendors were asked to leave, they high fived each other.

Spokesman for Family Research Council J.P. Duffy said that those in the organization did not look closely at the box until someone brought it up. Duffy said the executive director thinks the box is racist and if Joe Biden were portrayed, it would have been fine.

"He thought it was just about Obama waffling on the issues. We had no idea until looking at it closely what was on the box," Duffy said. "It's just that this could be taken offensively."

The booth displayed large posters of what was on the front and back of the waffle box. Several organizations like Summit Ministries and the Witherspoon Fellowship set up booths, but the booth selling waffles was the only satire product.

"We have dozens of booths and we don't know what kind of material they have. Obviously we don't necessarily approve of the material," Duffy said. "We may have given them permission to purchase a booth, but if there's anything like that that crosses the line, we ask them to cease and they did."

Bob DeMoss, who created the product and said he the boxes have been called racist before, packed up his boxes this afternoon.
