Republican Top Ten

You know you’re a heartless conservative when…

1. Your car is bigger than your house.
   
2. You did not see the movie about gay cowboys.
   
3. You think they should nuke Pakistan and Afghanistan because you always get them mixed up.
   
4. Your hobbies include polluting the environment, hunting endangered species, disenfranchising voters, and oppressing poor people.
   
5. You’re sure Hillary Clinton is the Antichrist.
   
6. After someone suposedly flushed a Koran at Guantanamo Bay, you’re looking for a Gitmo toilet because your toilet can’t compete.
   
7. You love Halliburton.
   
8. You think Ronald Reagan has a sexy body.
   
9. You have not seen “The Day After Tomorrow” but wonder how global warming causes New York to be coverred by snow.
   
10. The only thing that outnumbers your Bibles is your guns.

They say, if you are young and conservative than you have no heart, and if you are old and liberal than you have no brain. As a twenty-something ultra-conservative Republican, I guess that makes me heartless.

All you need is ...

You live. You learn. You forget. You get Depends.

Single-Wheeled Pedal-Powered Vehicles

Chris Hatch
http://www.UnderJC.com
October 26, 2007



To whom it may concern,

The word "unicycle" is no longer politically correct. Hence forth, please use the term "single-wheeled pedal-powered vehicle." The term "unicycle" is often associated with clowns, and as a person who rides a "single-wheeled pedal-powered vehicle," I find its connotation offensive. Many people who ride "single-wheeled pedal-powered vehicles" are NOT clowns, and therefore the term "unicycle" casts a wrong and hurtful impression.

Also note that people who ride "single-wheeled pedal-powered vehicles" are people first and riders second. Therefore they should not be referred to as "single-wheeled pedal-powered vehicle riders" but as "people who ride single-wheeled pedal-powered vehicles."

In addition, the term "juggling" should be replaced with "prop manipulation artistry", and the term "balloon animal" should be replaced with "inflated latex resembling livestock."

Sincerely,



Chris Hatch

2. When your Christian friends are running late, you worry that you missed the rapture.
3. You insist that you are both a child of God and maturing in your faith.

8. When someone exclaims "Jesus Christ," you think it is the Second Coming.
9. You've fixed at least one vehicle by laying hands on it.

Reviews

John Dilbeck of Random Neurons Firing
"firstRSS, by Chris Hatcher, is an outstanding plugin for syndicating (publishing) RSS feeds in your WordPress 2 pages... I tested several solutions before I found firstRSS, which worked the best and was, by far, the easiest to use... Thanks, Chris, for an elegant and easy-to-use way of syndicating these feeds."

David Gilmour of David’s Exc-el Blog
"What has to happen for people to 'get it'? ... But what if you could put a little RSS feed reader right inside your blog post? The firstRSS WordPress plugin lets you do just that... Maybe, by enabling a kind of RSS 'show and tell', firstRSS could help us demystify the whole thing?"

Craig Babcock of RSSolve
"One such application is FirstRSS, a nifty RSS aggregator plugin for Wordpress developed by Chris Hatcher. Ultimately, it was his solution that I preferred as it was the cleanest and simplest to use."
