Crazy Christians Copy Crucified Christ

Today is Good Friday and for the great mass of unwashed heathens, or Muslim readers who frequent this blog let me explain the significance of this day. Good Friday as the people at Wikipedia explain it as "a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary."

Well some current fans of Jesus take this opportunity every year to reenact the crucifixion of Jesus. People actually line up for the opportunity to have spikes driven through their hands and to be suspended from a cross. Don't believe me read about it here - go on I'll wait.....Kooky Crazy Christians Copy Crucified Christ

See - crazy eh? Well one thing the article did not tell you was that this years crucifixion festival(?) has a new corporate sponsor. Home Depot will no longer be sponsoring the nailing of people to the cross. This years festival is sponsored by the US Government.

Yup Obama and his band of merry men have provided the monies needed to run this years crucifixion ceremony. They have also been kind enough to provide several busloads of excess Iraqi and Afghan prisoners to practice on. Bless their hearts. Abu Grahib must be getting full....

Now the crazed Christians have all the nasty, stinking, dirty, heathen, enemy combatants to practice their crucifixion skills on. This years festival is sure to be a smash hit thanks to the good old US of A.

Politicians and a steel cage match

Well Canada will soon be thrown into the drudgery of another election. Our TV's will soon be plastered with politicians selling their special brand of snake oil. The press will be digging into all the dirty corners of the candidates closets. Exposing episodes of seedy bathroom encounters and frilly lingerie. Prime time television runs the risk of being interrupted for special bulletins on a nightly basis of candidates snipping ribbons at the tractor factory.

There has to be a better alternative to this nation wide state of confusion that will soon strike our nation.



I'd like to see politicians tap into the current Mixed Martial Arts craze and have elimination tournaments to find the next member of Parliament. Throw two candidates into a steel cage and have them battle it out for supremacy. It would be a round robin format - if you win your match you would move onto the next round. This would continue for each specific area until only one candidate remained.

The best part of the whole program is that we the voting public, get to see politicians beat the tar out of each other every night until election day. Now that makes for some good TV.

It probably would not take long for this steel cage format to be the standard for all levels of government. People may pay attention to their local municipal politicians if they knew there is the potential of a steel cage match every few years.

To use this format in the current US situation I'm not sure how I would predict the cage match between McCain and Obama. Obama is younger and likely has better stamina and quicker reflexes, but McCain is a wily veteran and is sure to have learned a few tricks during his stint as a POW so I'd put nothing past him.

You know Vegas would love the format - can you imagine the wagering. Finally people would have a reason to pay attention to the election. More focus would be on candidates conditioning and diet, as opposed to foreign policy and taxation programs.


Do you have a better option? If so let me know.
