Rants: Al Gore Smokes Crack and Forwards

I think it must be true. Mister Global Warming needs to visit Iowa! Dude, where is spring? I love sweaters but I'm so over them by now. I'm longing for sandals and Capri pants. Man, I'd even settle for a short sleeved shirt. So back off with you global warming theory!

Okay, now that I'm on a roll....What is the deal with forwards on e-mail? Dog gone, who sits around creating all that nonsense? PLEASE don't send me the ones that say, "If you're not ashamed of Jesus, you'll send this to at least 10 of your friends." Or the one that promises to "grant my wish" if I forward this to every person on the planet. People, do you really think you will get a $100 from Microsoft or prevent gang related activity if you forward something? Randy got one at work yesterday that was a petition to stop Madeline Murray O'Hare from suing congress to take Christian programing off TV. The chick has been dead for years! Randy said there were over 2000 names on the list and it stated if you stopped the petition, all those names would be lost. So know this, I don't make wishes, I pray. I am not ashamed of Jesus but have better ways to show I serve Him than e-mail. And Microsoft can keep their $100...I trust God to meet all of my needs.

Okay, I'm starting to feel better! Have a wonderful day and don't worry...I AM mentally stable. :)

I use to 'reply all' to those forwards with www.snopes.com. But even that did not stop the worst offenders.
As for Al Gore...I am crackin' UP that our children's pastor used the term 'smokes crack'!!! But really, people, weather is cyclical...

The ones about Madalyn petitioning the FCC have been around FOREVER. The original petition that was in 1974 wasn't even about banning all "Christian" broadcasting. The FCC through it out in 1975, because it would have been unconstitutional (it would have violated the 1st amendment). ALSO, Madalyn Murray O'Hair wasn't even involved in it. If we Christians were as adamant about sharing the gospel as we are about stopping people from violating our freedoms, there would probably be a lot more people being set FREE! Let's let Madalyn "rest in peace" and let Jesus LIVE!

Once I got a great email that was an anti-forward forward. It was so hilarious I almost wet my pants. Something to the effect of...thank you friends, now because of all your forwards I can't pump gas without the fear of being kidnapped, can't drink Diet Coke because it can also be used to clean toilets, can't use my cell phone because surely I have huge tumors on either side of my head ready to sprout out at any moment...and on and on....SAY NO TO FORWARDS!
