What’s happening to me…I feel so strange!
U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, who has made past comments that raised questions about her religious sensitivity, prayed in a telephone prayer service recently that God would “bring the hearts and minds of our Jewish brothers and sisters into alignment.”
Oh, my…I suddenly feel a strong compulsion. I don’t know why but I want to toss away the religion of my father, mother, grandparents right now…What has come over me? Oh my GOD: suddenly I don’t even like Chinese food anymore!
A Harris spokeswoman said Friday that the Longboat Key Republican, who has advocated electing Christian officeholders, was talking about converting Jews to vote Republican, not to Christianity.
Wait…No..That isn’t what’s happening. For some strange reason despite all of the differences I feel with them and have outlined on that blog that takes up all of my free time I now feel I MUST go out and vote straight Republican.
Why do I suddenly feel so attracted to that photo of Katherine Harris? I thought yesterday I was critical of Donald Rumsfeld, but now I want to be just like him!
Oh..now I’ve decided my life’s goal is to be just Bill Frist! RATS! What station was Rush Limbaugh on again? I don’t usually listen to him but now I feel he’s a genius! And Sean Hannity. He’s the only objective analyst on the radio. (I wonder if the bookstore has any more copies of Bill O’Reilly’s new book?)
Wait! I’ve been an independent voter. Where can this compulsion be coming from? Oh…now I think I know. A spell has been cast upon me — and it’s coming from THIS:
