is July 4th and all Americans, regardless of race, religion or  political background will take the time to reflect on that which makes  America the greatest country in the world. As we light the BBQs, play  ball with the kids in the park and watch fireworks we will be reminded  of the incredible feats countless Americans overcame to create this  great nation, and the sacrifices so many have made to preserve it. The  4th of July holds a special place in the heart of every American and  today I'd like to take a moment to talk about one 4th that has stood  above all the rest in my mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the summer of '61 and my parents sent my down to McComb,  Mississippi, to stay with my Uncle Charlie. Uncle Charlie was a salty  fellow. He swore worse than a sailor and always seemed to be covered in  grease of an unknown origin, but deep down he had a kind heart and truly  cared for my cousins and I. I remember he'd pull out that handkerchief,  blackened from the grease stains of a thousand days, and whip his hands  with it as he spit yellow check-juice through his front teeth onto the  dusty Mississippi ground. He liked people to think he was a tough  customer, but deep down he was a big softy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't think I ever told anybody but growing up I thought Uncle Charlie was the finest man that ever lived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a hot and dry summer, much like the one we're in now. With the  fire risk at dangerous levels that summer, fireworks displays were  banned in the tri-county area and it looked like all hope was lost for  having a real 4th of July. We moped around for days at the thought of  missing out on that fireworks display and couldn't seem to muster up  enough energy to go do the things boys our age normally did in the  summer months like play in the creek or go for a bike ride. It seemed  like all was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uncle Charlie, he noticed we just weren't the same and he knew why. When  the 4th rolled around we could barely get ourselves out of bed. Mid-day  rolled around and us boys were still in bed, trying to make it through  the miserable day without getting up when Old Uncle Charlie came  bursting through the bedroom door and shouted at us to "GET OUTTA BED,  YA HEAR? GET OUTTA BED!" We whined and complained but he wasn't having  any of it and soon the sheets were ripped off the beds and we had no  choice but to get up and get dressed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a quick meal we were in his old Ford pickup heading down a dirt  road through some farmland to a destination we didn't know. He pulled up  in front of an old rundown shack in the middle of nowhere where some  ancient-looking man in overalls sat rocking back and forth in a rocking  chair cradling a shotgun in his lap as an equally lazy-looking smell  hound sat with its head dropped over the top step like a sack of onions  placed carelessly on the side of the porch. Uncle Charlie went up to the  man and after a spell they went inside while us boys sat in the car and  swatted at the flies and other various insect-life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After about fifteen minutes Uncle Charlie comes out carrying a burlap  sack full of oblong objects and tosses it in the bed, producing a hollow  THUD. We didn't ask him what was in the bag because we all knew he  wouldn't tell us, but based on that stupid grin he had on his face we  knew we'd enjoy it. After a quick trip back into town that produced  strawberry ice-cream cones for everyone we headed back home where Aunt  Mavis had prepared BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, fresh lemonade and  strawberry shortcakes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These gestures were all nice but it still didn't make up for the fact  there'd be no fireworks this 4th. The boys and I played grab-ass in the  backyard as the sun retired over the horizon and made the sky a gradient  of blues and purples and oranges. Uncle Charlie sat there at the picnic  table the whole time chewing on a long piece of grass with that same  stupid grin still painted across his face. Eventually rose from his spot  with great effort and made his way to the pickup, pulling that burlap  sack from the bed. We gathered 'round instantly and looking down into  the void of that bag as he held it open for us. Fireworks. That's right,  Fireworks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He took us out into a field not too far and we shot them off. For about  five minutes or so it felt like we were watching one of those big-city  fireworks shows we'd seen before. When we ran out we weren't sad because  we all appreciated what he'd done for us. We rode in that pickup with  the same stupid grins plastered on our face as Old Uncle Charlie. It was  truly the greatest 4th of July any of us would ever experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all thanked him modestly, the way a young boy might, not getting too  excited, but deep down I knew that day Uncle Charlie was the most  generous man in the world and I was truly a lucky boy to have this man  as my momma's brother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happened next is pretty vague and images and memories come in and  out, sometimes without context or explanation. I hope I can remember it  thoroughly...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we come up on the road we normally turned on to get to Uncle  Charlie's he keeps going straight and about ten or fifteen miles down  the road he finally takes a turn onto this bumpy dirt path. None of us  said anything until about six miles down the road when we'd probably  been thrown into the air by the ruts and potholes in this road no  fewer'n sixty times. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Where we goin', Uncle Charlie?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;
"You'll see" he replied with that stupid grin. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened next, but I just can't quite remember it clearly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We pull up at this gate in the woods and he gets out and opens it,  drives us through, gets out again and closes it behind us, then gets  back in and continues down the road. 'Bout maybe two more miles we come  to this big clearing and all the sudden we see maybe fifty or sixty cars  and two or three hundred people all sitting around on picnic blankets  and what-not, all illuminated by candles and other lights. We get out  and Charlie leads us down to an open spot and sits us down among the  masses. We don't know what's going on but we all have a good feeling  that we're about to see something we won't ever forget. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why were we at this place? Why'd Charlie take us to this clearing? I  can't remember any more. And where'd Charlie go? He must have  headed  off somewhere at some point when none of us were paying attention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OH NO! It's all coming back to me! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon enough a great hush fell over the crowd. We look around, not quite  sure what's going on. On the blanket next to us the teenage couple stop  necking and start looking off toward the top of the hill on the edge of  this clearing we're all sitting around. So we turned and watched the  damnedest thing I ever saw, which at the time I had no explanation for,  as a couple of hooded guys come out holding this black boy no older than  17. He's crying and has snot running down his nose looking all kinds of  pitiful. So we look at each other and shrug cause we don't have the  slightest idea what is going on, but we keep watching, hoping to find  out. At this point the hooded guys put a noose around this boy's neck  and make him stand on a log and then tighten the noose over a branch.  The boy keeps crying and the hooded guy makes this proclamation that has  vanished into my memory at this time and when he's done the whole crowd  is hooting and shouting at this boy. Meanwhile my cousins and I still  have no idea what's going on but we're hooting and shouting along just  because we felt like that was the right thing to do in that situation.  So once the hooting and shouting reaches a crescendo one of the hooded  guys kicks the log out from under the boy and he falls a foot or so and  then just hangs there by his neck. He keeps twitching and such, I  learned later in life it was probably because they didn't drop him from  high enough and he was slowly choking to death rather than instantly  dying from having his neck broken. So as he's twitching and writhing  around these hooded guys start dowsing him in what was presumably  lighter fluid and then set this guy on fire in front of all of us and at  this point everyone is shouting and cheering and such. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh God, they killed that boy! They hanged him and they set him on fire.  And... and... more is coming back to me... Uncle Charlie was one of  those hooded men. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My cousins and I didn't know what to feel or how to interpret what we'd  just witnessed, but I think we all knew we now had a profound life  experience that linked us all, no matter where life took us. We walked  back to the truck in silence, waiting for us there was Uncle Charlie. We  didn't speak at all on the way back to the house and a few days later  my parents came and picked me up and took me home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I never saw Uncle Charlie again. A few months later my mom said he went  back to college, which I thought was odd considering his age and lack of  high school education. She told us we'd see him again when he got his  degree in 15-20 years, but about two years later he died when a fellow  classmate shanked him in a History of 19th Century Irish Poetry class. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wow, looking back at that as an adult, come to think of it, Uncle  Charlie was a terrible person. Wow, I really misread him as a kid,  didn't I? Geeze, this really puts a damper on this holiday for me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-50050686988375569?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/50050686988375569/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2011/07/memories-of-4th-of-julys-past.html#comment-form" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/50050686988375569?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/50050686988375569?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2011/07/memories-of-4th-of-julys-past.html" title="Memories of 4th of July's Past" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEQNR3g-eyp7ImA9WhZaFEQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-2332877602313048029</id><published>2011-06-30T20:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-30T20:53:16.653-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-06-30T20:53:16.653-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Classic Quotes" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="terrorists" /><title>Classic Quotes</title><content type="html">5/1/11&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As I sit here at my computer typing my final thoughts on the eve of the  end of the world, many thoughts have poured through this old and  alcohol-damaged mind of mine. According to Harold Camping,  end-times-prophet-performance-artist-slash-ancient-mongoloid, great  earthquakes will rage across the earth destroying it  hemisphere-by-hemisphere and timezone-by-timezone. While most of us  won't be around to witness this unspeakable horror as we are engulfed  into the fiery bowels of the earth, I still feel bad seeing the earth go  out in a more unflattering way than Arnold Schwarzenegger's career.  It's no secret I love the Earth, the fact is I've lived here my whole  life, and as I spend my last day on her surface I can't help but think  about all things I never got to do with her during our time together  during my long and illustrious life. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- A sunrise over the Grand Canyon. What majesty that must be, to watch  in awe as the sun rises over the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Witness the birth of my son. This one has always stung a little bit.  But it was the week of the Iowa Straw Poll Caucus and you know... work. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Go to Hawaii and learn how to surf. I always wanted to do this.  Perhaps it was from growing up in a landlocked state but I always had a  fascination with surfing. Something about conquering mother nature, but  also showing respect for her great power. Watching those guys surfing in  the movies and on tv was like watching an artist, only the board was  their paintbrush. It's disappointing that I'll never get to know what  that rush is like. Oh well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Travel outside the U.S. It isn't like you couldn't. Don't give me that  "my job is my life" B.S. The Wash O'Hanley Show barely constituted  journalism. Hell, it hardly constituted a show! We both know it's only  reason for existence was to sell post-apocalyptic freeze-dried food  (which is POISON, don't eat it, for the love of God!) and gold buying  services to medicated elderly racists. Heck, half the time you threw a  re-run on and those vegetables didn't even realize. One time this old  faggot honestly told me my week of shows were the most relevant and  insightful he'd ever heard-- WE PLAYED RE-RUNS FROM THE GULF WAR SO I  COULD GO TO ARUBA THAT WEEK. It was 2008. God damn! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Do something more useful than The Wash O'Hanley Show. I had a pulpit, a  listening base and a message and all I did for three hours a week for  34 weeks out of the year was complain about black people and teenagers. I  could have really been the catalyst for social change in this country.  Instead I'd just get hopped up on vicodin, get wrecked on Sailor Jerry  and complain about what was on the front page of the newspaper. No  wonder I'm a laughing stock in the broadcast community. my autobiography  was a joke-- most of it was just stories I made up and the last 120  pages was just the screenplay version of the book. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Witness the birth of my second son. What can I say? I just dropped the  ball on this one. I think there was a shrimp fest at Red Lobster... or  some other kind of fest going on. Or I just plum forgot about it. Oh  well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Finish watching those According to Jim DVDs you borrowed from Craig  last year and never gave back. I don't know, I got like 3/4ths of the  way through the show and then kind of gave up on it. It's like, they  were sitting there on the DVD player but I could never work up the  enthusiasm to ever just put them in and watch them. I'm such a lazy  worthless ass. It was tv. All you do is sit there and point your face in  the direction of the box and keep your eyes open. Jesus. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Use that gift certificate for a month of spin classes at the local  gym. I don't know why I never used this thing. It was sitting here next  to the computer for like 6 months. I knew I needed to get into better  shape. Hell, I even bought a pair of running shorts and shoes not too  long ago to facilitate working out. I don't know why I could never get  up the nerve to do it. Jesus Christ, it isn't like you didn't have the  time, you fat asshole. What? Too busy to stay in shape. You're fucking  disgusting. IT WAS FREE. IT WAS FREE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE. SOMEBODY PAID  FOR THAT, AND GAVE IT TO YOU AS A GIFT, AND YOU STILL COULDN'T USE IT.  YOU HAD TIME TO GET THREE-FOURTHS OF THE WAY THROUGH THOSE ACCORDING TO  JIM DVDS BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GO TO THE GYM. I HATE YOU. I HATE  YOU. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Run for political office. It's no secret I've always toyed with the  idea of running for public office. We're not talking about Governor or  President here, but Comptroller, Treasurer-- nothing wrong with those. I  feel like I have a lot to offer and I want to give back to the  community that has given me so much in return. It's not like I need the  money. I have more than enough saved up from the show. I can walk away  at any time if I wanted to. THEN WHAT IS IT? WHY COULDN'T YOU DO IT? I  guess it just goes back to getting the motivation to go down there and  get the forms and go through all the stuff that it takes to run for one  of those seats. AND THE DEAD TRANNY HOOKER? What? THE DEAD TRANNY  HOOKER. I... I don't know what you're talking about. YES YOU DO! DON'T  YOU LIE. Look, I don't know how she got there. YES YOU DO. I just went  to sleep and when I woke up... there was blood everywhere. YOU DID THAT.  No I didn't! YES YOU DID. YOU TOOK A LIFE... A HUMAN LIFE. Don't say  that. No! I didn't do that to him. YOU'RE AFRAID THEY'LL FIND OUT. Of  course I am! THERE'S BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS, O'HANLEY, AND I HAVE THE  PICTURES TO PROVE IT. You wouldn't! YOU'LL NEVER GET ELECTED IN THIS  TOWN, WASH, OR ANY TOWN. WASH O'HANLEY THE TRANNY STRANGLER, CHOKED A  SHEMALE WITH A COAT HANGER. No! No! Stop it! I cannot take any more,  grim voice inside my head!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Go to that Thai-fusion restaurant in the mall. It was there for years  and I always wanted to go in, but I don't know. It was sort of  intimidating, you know? What was I going to order? I've never had Thai  food so I felt like I needed someone that knew what they were doing to  go with me and order, but I didn't know anyone. And it wasn't like I  didn't go in the mall often-- the kid at the cell phone case cart got a  restraining order against me because I spent so much time there. (He  looked inquisitive and I figured he'd be an inexpensive alternative to a  real psychiatrist with an M.D.) I mean, it was always there and I never  went in. I always liked to blame my not eating there on my social  anxiety disorder but we both know that's a lie. MEN DON'T GET SOCIAL  ANXIETY DISORDER. STOP BEING A PUSSY AND JUST GO IN THE RESTAURANT YOU  DICK. THEY WANT YOUR BUSINESS. THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU GET A SPONTANEOUS  ERECTIONS WHEN YOU MEET NEW PEOPLE. IT'S NORMAL. IT'S NORMAL YOU PUSSY.  STOP CRYING. STOP CRYING YOU LITTLE GIRL. YOU LITTLE FUCKING CHILD. STOP  CRYING. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So in the waning moments of our mortal existence on this rock spinning  around the sun I a feel a bitter sweetness as look forward with great  joy on the life I'm embarking on, yet look back on all I never  experienced in this life of mine. As we spend our final hours with our  friends and family I implore all of you to take a moment and perhaps  come up with a list similar to mine to share with each other. Don't be  afraid to spill your inner-most secrets, for it's not like anyone is  going to be able to read this tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Yours in him, &lt;br /&gt;

Many, many people  rely on this person to show up for this job every single day. Whether  this person is sick or tired or hung over this job is so important that  this person needs to suck it up and drag their butt into work every day  because of the gravity of this job. This is a job that requires common  sense, dedication, commitment, empathy, determination, and the ability  to sometimes look past your own opinions to see the greater wisdom in  decisions that need to be made. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if I told you the person who holds this job hasn't been doing their  job lately? They haven't even been half-assing it. This person has  flat-out stopped trying. Do you think it's fair that this person gets to  hold this lucrative job while so many fellow Americans are without one?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if I told you this person hadn't been in to work in nearly two  weeks, without so much as a phone call? Do you think that you, Dear  Reader, would be able to hold your Sales Associate position at PetCo if  you decided to take an unannounced two-week vacation without so much as  calling a single person? So how do you feel when I tell you that this  person isn't going to lose their job?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may no longer believe that I am talking about a real person, for  this description I've provided is so incredibly outrageous that surely  no person, no matter what position, would be able to hold on to their  job after showing such an utter lack of respect for the dignity of the  position or for the responsibilities that having such a position would  entail. However, I assure you that this person exists in the manner that  I have described. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should come as no surprise to you that I am talking about a  politician in our very own Government, a system so corrupt and morally  bankrupt that someone of such poor moral fiber would be able to slip  through the cracks totally unnoticed... or maybe no one cared to notice.  I think the real question, though, is how much longer are we, the  American populous, going to let our elected officials spit in our faces  before we finally do something about them? And it is at this point that I  feel that it is necessary to finally reveal the name of the heinous  vagabond for which this topic is dedicated...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The person to which I have described in detail above is none other than  United States Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D) of Arizona. It  should come as no surprise to my Patriotic Conservative® readers that  this lazy Democrat has, for the past fortnight, made absolutely no  effort to show up to work. Even worse, my inside sources have informed  me that not only has she refused to make so much as a phone call  explaining herself, but has also not left her bed during this time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point the actions of selfish Liberals should no longer shock us,  but even for a seasoned newsman like myself I find it hard to fathom  this level of negligence towards one's duties. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Folks, this woman is not a hard-working American like you or I. She has  no blue collars among the pant-suits in her closet. She has never tasted  the sting of sweat in her eyes from a hard day's work at the baby  food/rat poison factory like you have. Yet she feels entitled to a day  off. Where's your day off? I say that until Gabrielle Giffords goes back  to work, Conservative Patriotic Ameri-Hero-Cans™ shouldn't have to work  either. That is why starting tomorrow I'm calling on all my faithful  listeners and readers to stand up to Democratic tyranny and shout:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;"I'm not going to work until Gabrielle Giffords does!" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's time Conservatives stopped turning a blind eye to this fat-cattery  and big-wiggery among the Democratic left and took a stand. Maybe if  enough people don't show up for work during the coming days Mrs.  Giffords will see just how important a little hard work and dedication  to your job really is. I want to hear it shouted from the rooftops, I  want to see written in chalk in the streets, I want every True  Christian(TM) Conservative to post those very words in this topic this  very instant!!! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;"I'm not going to work until Gabrielle Giffords does!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who knows, maybe it'll compel her to turn off those re-runs of [i]How I  Met Your Mother[/i] and finally get out of bed and maybe, just maybe, do  a little work (you know, that thing she was elected to do). I doubt  it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May God be with us,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I hope mother  and the children are also well. When I first joined up I was too naive  to truly understand the horrors of war, and now I will never be the  same. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This afternoon I fought in the Battle of the Little Rock Wal*Mart. Our  mission was to take the strategic wholesale retailer that has refused to  use the word "Christmas" in any of their advertising or  employee-to-customer greetings. Last night we set up camp on the creek  next to the Shell Station. Many of us had never seen the horrors of war  and didn't know what to expect. As dawn rose our commander gathered us  and within the hour we were packed and ready to march. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We crested the hill behind the loading docks and made a surprise attack  through the emergency exit. As we stormed the store customers grabbed  their children and fled. After capturing the employees and tying them up  in the break room we proceeded to spray paint the word "Christmas" on  the outside window and install a makeshift manger scene on a small lawn  in front of the store. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will spare you the details of what we did to the employees for I know  your heart cannot handle knowing. War turns every man, even the gentlest  radio broadcaster, into a monster. I pray that this war will end soon,  for I do not know how much more of these horrors I can endure. Sometimes  when I'm sleeping under the stars I look up at them and find comfort in  knowing that you are looking up at the same ones as me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someday, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not in my lifetime,  there will come a day when Christians no longer have to publicly  embarrass themselves in order to push their beliefs on others. That's  what I'm fighting for. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yours always, from the front lines in the war on Christmas,&lt;br /&gt;

At ages 6 and 8 I know they have a few  years before they are accountable for their actions, but I'm still  worried that they haven't shown that they love Christ enough. With so  many bad influences and crazy people in the world feeding my  grandchildren lies through the media and school I knew I had to take  actions into my own hands, lest they be permanently scarred by the  deranged actions of some sick individual. Last week I came up with a  plan to see if they really love Jesus and went through with it last  night. I convinced my son to take his wife out for a date so I could  baby sit the kids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The evening went off without a hitch: we had pizza, watched a movie and  had a grand old time. Bedtime came and I tucked the children in and read  them a story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once they were asleep I dressed up in all black, put a ski mask on and  started lurking around in the bushes outside of the house. I broke in to  the house and tip-toed upstairs. I visited my granddaughter first. She  lay in bed like a little angel, her blond hair cascading over her pillow  and a little stuffed bear held tight in her arms. She is truly the  apple of my eye. I took out a rag doused in chloroform and held it over  her mouth. She awoke long enough to let out a muffled scream before  passing out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I then tip-toed across the hall to my grandson's room and did the same to him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the kids were out I tied them with some rope to two chairs and  waited for them to wake up. When they did they were horrified to see a  masked stranger standing before them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"We're gonna play a little game," I said in a deep and threatening  voice. It was at this time they noticed the handgun I was holding in my  gloved hand. "I'm going to ask you each a question. If you answer  correctly you may live, but if you answer wrong I splatter your brains  all over that wall."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They began weeping. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"But to make things even easier I will tell you the correct answer to the question before I ask it. Sound easy enough?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a spell they sheepishly nodded their heads while sniffing up snot running from their noses. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I'm going to ask you if you believe in Jesus. If you say no I will  untie you and let you live, but if you say yes I'm going to put this gun  in your mouth and pull the trigger. Understand? Then let's play."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I kneel down in front of my grandson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He bowed his head and cried.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Answer me!" I shouted, while pointing the gun in his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"No!" he cries. "I reject Jesus!" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Very well." I move over to my granddaughter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior?" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She thinks about it for a while and then looks me in the eyes and boldly says, "Yes!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I pretend to be taken aback and ask her why, in the face of certain  death, she chooses to accept Jesus Christ as her savior, when she can  just lie and say she doesn't so she can live.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Because we learn in Mark 8:38 that Jesus is ashamed of anyone that is  ashamed of him. I would rather die than have Jesus be ashamed of me!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her weeping comes to a crescendo as I slowly raise the gun and point it  at her forehead. At this point her brother is crying and begging me not  to kill his sister. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I pull the trigger and a stream of water shoots out of the gun and hits her in the face. She looks up at me, confused. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"If I were really a dangerous psychotic your brain matter would be  splattered all over that wall behind you and you'd be dead right now,  but you'd be in heaven with Jesus," I say to her. I turn to my grandson,  "But you... even though you'd live to see another day your life would  be empty and without purpose because you rejected Christ, and when you  did die, likely from a drug overdose or the AIDS, you would go to Hell  to endure awful punishments and torments for selfishly rejecting Christ  in the face of death. You sicken me." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I then left the room, took off my burglar garb and returned to pretend  that I had been knocked out by the assailant when he broke into the  house. As I untied them, they told me about the horrors that they had to  endure. I commended my granddaughter for standing in her faith even  with the barrel of a gun pointing straight at her face and I scolded my  grandson for rejecting Christ. Unless my grandson shapes up I fear he  will receive the torments of Hell, for as we learn in &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Matthew  10:33, if you deny Jesus he will deny you to his father come your  judgment. Knowing this it would be better for a Christian to be killed  for accepting Jesus than to be spared for lying and saying you don't  believe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Matthew 10:33 - But whosoever shall     deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm afraid I have a lot of work to do with my grandson if he ever wants  to be a Saved Christian, but I feel joy in my heart when I report that  my granddaughter is clearly on her way to being a Saved young woman in  the coming years. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Greetings in Jesus Holy Name!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Landover Baptist Church is pleased to announce our first annual International Halloween Candy Burning 2010. Shout GLORY!! &lt;img alt="" border="0" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.landoverbaptist.net/images/smilies/yahoo.gif" title="Yahoo" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n217/PastorEzekiel/candyburning.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Brothers and sisters in Christ, it doesn't take &lt;a href="http://www.landoverbaptist.org/thestaff/pastors/ez.html" target="_blank"&gt;a Bible scholar like me&lt;/a&gt;  to see that America has turned its back on God. Everywhere we look, our  society has become increasingly Godless and morally decadent. What used  to be a nation founded on the commandments of  God Almighty has slowly  been turned over to the hands of the ultra liberals, the sodomites and  the Godmockers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every year millions of children around America do the devil's work and  go "trick-or-treating," and many of them never come home. There is no  denying that Halloween is the most dangerous holiday celebrated in  America. Satanists/Wiccans and child murderers use this holiday as an  excuse to do their dark deeds, putting your child at risk every time  they ring a doorbell and ask for a candied treat. Degenerate  child-molesting homersexurals use Halloween as an excuse to dress up in  women's clothing and rape your children! So what can we do as believers?  Sit back and watch as the country we so love goes down the drain? &lt;img alt="" border="0" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.landoverbaptist.net/images/smilies/nono.gif" title="Nono" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halloween is Lucifer's birthday and candy is his currency. It is the  favorite day of the year for Democrats, homersexurals, sex pedophiles  and atheist-Muslims. And it is a proven fact that &lt;a href="http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=31035" target="_blank"&gt;witches cast spells over all the Halloween candy&lt;/a&gt;  sold in the world. To show these scum that we are serious about  Salvation®, we will burn their precious Halloween candy on the night of  October 31st until they cease this wicked celebration of the Devil!  Please join us in Proverbs Park on Sunday, October 31st for food, fun  and games that culminate in the immolation of a massive pile of  confiscated Halloween candy. Hopefully the flames will reach so high  they will be seen in Washington! Christians may be a persecuted minority  in America but we have a voice! Stand up to wicked America and burn  their idols until they beg us to stop!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Festivities include: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;6:00pm - Anti-Halloween Parade (No costumes allowed!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;6:30pm - Winner of 2010 Landover Baptist Witch Hunt announced&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;7:00pm - Dunk the queer / Screening of Christian horror movie classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2003)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;7:45pm - Obama effigy burning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;8:15pm - Bible Memorization Recital (ages 4-7)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;9:00pm - Halloween Candy Burning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Unless Halloween is officially canceled and outlawed in the United  States, Landover Baptist Church will buy up all the candy in the Central  Iowa region and burn it just to show the world that we are not afraid  of satan! &lt;img alt="" border="0" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.landoverbaptist.net/images/smilies/threaten.gif" title="Threaten" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-902919930580066380?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/902919930580066380/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/10/international-halloween-candy-burning.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/902919930580066380?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/902919930580066380?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/10/international-halloween-candy-burning.html" title="International Halloween Candy Burning 2010" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUANR34-fSp7ImA9Wx5VEkg.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-6533882977805787487</id><published>2010-10-04T22:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-04T22:49:56.055-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-10-04T22:49:56.055-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Halloween" /><title>Yard Haunters: Pathetic Shut-Ins and Sex Offenders</title><content type="html">&lt;i&gt;Originally published in Freehold Magazine, October 4th, 2010&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Yard Haunters: Pathetic Shut-Ins and Sex Offenders &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
By Wash O'Hanley&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.costumebizarre.com/boneyard2003.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Folks, we all know a house like this: Styrofoam cemetery in the front  yard, stuffed zombies littering the porch, phony spider webs in the  bushes, red light bulbs illuminating the front of the house from October  1st until mid-November when they finally get around to taking all their  junk down. On Halloween, when the rest of us buy a bag of Tootise-Pops  on the way home from work and turn off all the lights in the hopes that  no one comes to the door while you're trying to watch a rerun of &lt;i&gt;Two and A Half Men,&lt;/i&gt;  these people are dressed up in the most gruesome clown masks they could  find, scaring small children that come to their front door. You may  have thought you were just unlucky and ended up living next door to the  one crazy Halloween nut in America, but as it turns out these people are  large in numbers (and stomach girth) and have invaded every corner of  our fair country. They call themselves "Yard Haunters," and while on the  surface their intentions may seem to be Halloween fun, there is a more  sinister motive under the mask. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For Yard Haunters, Halloween isn't just one annoying day out of the  year, sandwiched between Columbus Day and Election Day; it's a year-long  exercise in preparation and annoying people whose homes are adjacent to  theirs. All year the Yard Haunter browses the internet, visits garage  sales, and comes up with new ideas for how to spook young children that  come to his or her door on October 31st expecting treats. While most  parents are willing to excuse this foolishness as an attempt to make the  holiday more fun and enjoyable for the children, the behavior of these  Yard &lt;br /&gt;
Haunters is starting to raise more than a few Christian eyebrows. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Bible is very clear in its message that we must protect our little   ones, and today there is no greater threat to their well-being than sick   and perverted Yard Haunters whose only reason for participating in   Halloween is to use our children like blow-up sex dolls. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Matthew 18:10 - Take heed that ye despise not one  of these little ones; for I say unto     you, That in heaven their  angels do always behold the face of my Father     which is in heaven.         &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Provided below is evidence that I believe sufficiently proves Yard  Haunters are nothing more than a gaggle of pathetic shut-ins and sex  offenders posing as adjusted members of suburban America enjoying  Halloween in order to defile children. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="265" src="http://www.halloweenforum.com/members/tk421-albums-design-sketches-picture15579-cidershack001.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reason #1: Like NAMBLA and Al Qaeda, Yard Haunters have a website. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The internet has, since its inception, been a veritable  minefield of moral decay and perverse deviance. It's the perfect place  for degenerates, criminals, and terrorists alike to meet, plot, and  share information with each other. Message boards are ground zero for  these people to get together, and are like the coffee houses of the  internet. Every sick and twisted organization, from atheists to furries  to terrorists, have message boards where they get together, bound by  their common interests, and come up with new ways to undermine American  values. NAMBLA uses their website to come up with new ways to molest  children, while Al Qaeda uses the internet to post videos of their  terrorists acts, and it should come as no surprise that Yard Haunters  have their own websites to show off their rape palaces. If you thought  that neighbor who turned his front lawn into a zombie invasion last year  was working alone you are totally wrong; this is part of an intricate  network of sex offenders and social deviants who are working together  and giving one another ideas on how to more effectively lure young  children into their homes. Which brings me to reason #2...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reason #2: Yard Haunting is just an excuse to get small children into your home.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;What is more inviting to a young child than the sight of a  clown or friendly vampire? These figures of Halloween capture minds and  widen the eyes of young children as they go from door to door in search  of yummy treats. Yard Haunters know this have taken to making their  yards more inviting to young ones. If you're a small child and you're  trick-or-treating on a street and one of the houses has a giant and  brightly-lit holiday display, which house are you going to be most  excited to visit? Once the child has gazed upon all the scary  decorations they are almost caught and it will take just a little trick  from the Yard Haunter to get them in his home. Maybe he says he ran out  of candy and tells them to follow him into the basement where he  keeps his "good stuff," maybe he tells them he has an even scarier  haunted house in his bedroom, whatever the case, the point of these yard  haunts is to get the children to let their guard down so they are  easier to rape, which brings me to reason #3...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reason #3: All Yard Haunters are pathetic shut-ins and sex offenders.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Go to &lt;a href="http://www.sexoffenderfinder.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.sexoffenderfinder.com/&lt;/a&gt;  and type in your home address, on it a list of homes owned by sex  offenders will pop up, print that map out and on Halloween go around to  each beacon on your map and I guarantee every home occupied by a sex  offender will have a haunt in their front yard. These are people  required by law to stay at a certain distance from children on the other  364 days out of the year, but on Halloween, because they took the time  to carve a pumpkin and put a phony stuffed witch on their porch it's  suddenly ok for them to be handing out candy to your children? What kind  of messed up world do we live in? In many cases these people wear  Halloween masks to hide their identities and loose-fitting cloaks to  conceal their erections and nakedness. By jumping out at your kids while  shrieking like a banshee and causing them to scream they gain sexual  gratification. Once your family leaves they go back into the  bushes and wait for more kids, but what are they doing in those bushes  to themselves as they wait? If a yard haunt has been erected at a home  not on your sex offender registry it is entirely possible a sex offender  is squatting in an abandoned home and has set up some sort of sex  dungeon-- alert your authorities.  Which brings us to reason #4...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Reason #4: Yard Haunts are a Yard Haunter's vision of what the real world is like.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As outlined in the previous reasons these Yard Haunters are nothing more  than a group of social outcasts and sex offenders, cast aside by  society and left to live a life in the shadows. Due to watching hours of  child porn, horror movies, and internet snuff films, these people have  created a sick fantasy world in their heads that manifests itself on  Halloween when such sick behavior is looked at as normal. Due to years  of watching videos of people being beheaded by terrorists, these people  see decapitated and tortured bodies when they close their eyes, they see  zombies rising from the grave to feast upon the living in their dreams,  and they wish that they lived on a farm in the middle of Texas so  teenagers that ran out of gas will be marooned on their property to be  slaughtered in a horrific manner. On Halloween these fantasies take  shape as they construct their vile dreams into a reality. To many  parents it looks like Halloween fun, but in reality it is the work of  mentally-ill people that can no longer tell the difference between the  fright films they love and reality. Why would you want people like this  around your children? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Oxce-8BRxjYiiM:http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL782/4062909/20833212/371988365.jpg&amp;amp;t=1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that you know a little about Yard Haunters, let's take a look at the  kinds of things they are into. If someone you know matches any of the  descriptions below they may be a sex offender looking to score some  adolescent tail on Halloween and should be turned in immediately:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Enjoys Halloween.&lt;br /&gt;
- Watches horror movies. &lt;br /&gt;
- Plans on dressing up as something on Halloween.&lt;br /&gt;
- Sets up a display for trick-or-treaters in their front yard. &lt;br /&gt;
- Has Liberal political signs in their front yard. &lt;br /&gt;
- Is not a member of a Bible-believing Baptist Church. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What should you do if you come upon a yard haunt?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Don't panic:&lt;/b&gt; these people are powerless against anyone who  doesn't go into their yard and will not chase you for fear that their  sex slaves will escape while they are gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Alert Others:&lt;/b&gt; Tell anyone you see to avoid that house. If that  means physically standing at the foot of their driveway and turning  people away, so be it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tear Down What You Can:&lt;/b&gt; Many of their props are light-weight, so  when they aren't looking try to knock over, unplug, or destroy as much  of their haunt as possible so that more children cannot be hurt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Call the Cops:&lt;/b&gt; The cops will surely make quick work of this low  life and his stupid Halloween set up. You may even get a reward for  turning him in. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that you know what a Yard Haunter is, how to recognize one, and what  their perverted intentions are, use this information to make a positive  impact in your community! For too long social outcasts and sex  pedophiles have gotten away with luring our children into their twisted  ideas of what the real world is at our blessing because "it's all just  Halloween fun." No more! The next time you drive past a home that has an  elaborate phony cemetery, don't think it's just a harmless way to make  kids laugh, because the reality is that what you're looking at is one of  the most intricate attempts for a pedophile to get their penis into  your son or daughter's virgin rectum in the history of mankind!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Reporting from Hackensack, N.J. — &lt;br /&gt;
The  New Jersey attorney general's office is reviewing the case of a &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/education/colleges-universities/rutgers-university-OREDU0000234.topic" target="_blank"&gt;Rutgers University&lt;/a&gt; freshman who jumped from the &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/george-washington-PEHST002264.topic" target="_blank"&gt;George Washington&lt;/a&gt;   Bridge last week after images of him having sex with another man were   broadcast on the Internet, and will decide whether to prosecute the   incident as a bias crime, a spokesman said Thursday. &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-rutgers-suicide-20101001,0,2307696.story" target="_blank"&gt;(More)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;I think it goes without saying that it is news like this that every True  Christian™ around America wants to wake up and read every day. As we  learn in &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Leviticus 20:13:   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;If  a man also lie with     mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them  have committed an     abomination: they shall surely be put to death;  their blood shall be     upon them&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;What does this young  man's suicide mean? It means that at least some homosexuals are finally  taking responsibility for their actions and punishing themselves in a  manner that is fitting to God. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although in his short-sightedness the young man decided to take his own  life, a horrific sin almost as bad as homosexuality, rather than  choosing the more positive route of letting his school friends stone him  to death, but given the circumstances I think we (all Christians around  the world) can agree this young man made the right choice.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-8944356224376902563?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/8944356224376902563/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/in-what-is-being-called-by-many.html#comment-form" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/8944356224376902563?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/8944356224376902563?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/in-what-is-being-called-by-many.html" title="Gay Man Makes Positive Choice: Kills Self" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0IHRXo_eSp7ImA9Wx5WGE0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-8271779652163839428</id><published>2010-09-29T17:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-29T17:12:14.441-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-29T17:12:14.441-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Right Wing Clowns" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ACORN" /><title>James O'Keefe's Latest Prank: Dull, Unimaginitive and Outlandish</title><content type="html">It looks like Right-Wing entertainer and performance artist James  O'Keefe is in the news again for trying to pull another prank that has  gone horribly wrong: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;James O'Keefe, best known for hitting the community organizing  group  ACORN with an undercover video sting, hoped to get CNN  Investigative  Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with  sexually explicit  props and then record the session, those documents  show. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The plan apparently was thwarted after Boudreau was warned minutes before it was supposed to happen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I never intended to become part of the story," Boudreau said. "But things suddenly took a very strange turn." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
O'Keefe  is best known for making a series of undercover videos inside  ACORN  offices around the country in 2009. The 40-year-old liberal group  was  crippled by scandal after O'Keefe and fellow activist Hannah Giles   allegedly solicited advice from ACORN workers on setting up a brothel   and evading taxes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The videos led to some of the employees being  fired and contributed to  the disbanding of ACORN, which advocated for  low- and middle-income  and worked to register voters.  &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/29/okeefe.cnn.prank/index.html?hpt=C2" target="_blank"&gt;(More)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I  think for O'Keefe's next media fiasco he should build a time machine,   go back to 2009 and stay there forever since he's never going to   reproduce the magic he created with his ACORN video. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He captured America's imagination with the twist ending at the end of  his first effort: *SPOILER* &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACORN_2009_undercover_videos_controversy#Investigation_by_California_attorney_general" target="_blank"&gt;The twist was that absolutely none of it was  real&lt;/a&gt;.  But since then his pranks have just been a series of failed  attempts  that has only proven that he is a one-trick pony. The sad thing  is  people are going to go see his videos just because his name is  attached  and financiers are going to keep giving him money for new  stunts  because he is profitable. I haven't seen this most recent  attempt, nor  do I plan on it; all early reviews indicate it's just going  to be  another tired story with dopey dialogue, an outlandish premise, a  love  story that would never work in the real world and then the same  twist  ending as all the rest of his work. I also heard that after he was  done  filming everything he decided to make it 3-D and as a result it  looks  really bad. Until O'Keefe learns that as an artist you need to  evolve  and grow and stop releasing the same thing that made you famous a  few  years ago, Americans are going to increasingly dislike the work he   makes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-8271779652163839428?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/8271779652163839428/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/it-looks-like-right-wing-entertainer.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/8271779652163839428?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/8271779652163839428?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/it-looks-like-right-wing-entertainer.html" title="James O'Keefe's Latest Prank: Dull, Unimaginitive and Outlandish" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkcDR348eCp7ImA9Wx5WGEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-5179740447352973624</id><published>2010-09-18T02:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T16:07:56.070-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-30T16:07:56.070-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="stoping masturbating" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Election 2010" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Christine O'Donnell" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="4 Star Posts" /><title>My Thoughts on the Christine O'Donnell Videos</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://toppayingideas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Christine-ODonnell.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Christine O'Donnell, a virtual unknown until only a few days ago,  recently blew onto the scene like a premature ejaculation in the back  seat of a Ford Fiesta on prom night '87. Liberal smear-artist Rachel  Maddow showed a video of a twenty-something year old O'Donnell trying to promote teen purity on her daily broadcast and since then  the young GOP challenger from Delaware has become an overnight Youtube  phenomenon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Folks, we've all seen the videos... multiple times. We have every line  of corny scripted dialogue, every bad early 90s hairdo, and every  unflattering camera angle ingrained in our subconscious where it will  sit in our Rolodex of things that we will never unsee. For those  reasons there's no point in posting the videos yet &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzHcqcXo_NA"&gt;again&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The left has been having a field day with these videos and frankly I  feel sorry for the girl. Obviously these tapes were a mistake. She was  fresh out of college, couldn't find a job, had student loans to pay off  and saw a way to make some quick money. Maybe she met a guy at the  Dennys while she was waiting tables, maybe he told her he had an acting  gig for her and maybe she saw it as a quick way to earn a couple of  bucks-- how she got in this situation doesn't matter. Obviously she was  taken advantage of, obviously things got out of hand and obviously she  was made to do things no woman should ever have to do on camera. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What was supposed to be a short student film about a single mother  working two jobs to find a better life for her autistic albino son  quickly turned into a sleazy attempt to get this young lady to do  degrading things on film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a sad reality that young and desperate women that are down on their  luck and out of money are being disgraced and taken advantage of by the  absolute lowest form of human scum on this planet: Moral Activists. They  get you in that room with the phony potted plant, sit you down on that  filthy stained couch, shine a light in your face and instruct you to  read horribly-written pieces of dialogue like "if he already knows what  pleases him and he can please himself... then why am I in the picture?" I  mean the idea of a woman trying to single-handedly stop  fourteen-year-old boys from using their penises like the fire hoses  those cops used to shoot black people with during the Civil Rights  movement is more far-fetched than three sorority sisters having a 4-way  with a pizza delivery guy because they can't pay for their pizza.  Really, you don't have $10 between the three of you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on the poor production quality, the awful haircuts, the cheesy  music, the unbelievable premise and the cringe-worthy dialogue I think it's obvious this video was meant only to be  seen by a very small cross section of America's most vile and detestable  citizens. Limited to small book and video shops next to liquor stores  in strip malls located in the bad part of town where men hiding inside  trench coats and sunglasses look both ways to make sure no one is  watching before slipping inside to quench their despicable habits, it's apparent this  video was never meant to be seen by normal, well-adjusted and  functioning members of society. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she was talked into performing in this tape Christine had no idea  that one day a series of tubes would bring the world instantly to our  fingertips and any motion picture caught on video or film would gain a  world audience. When Christine regrettably decided to  participate in this degrading video there was no way of knowing one day her  parents, her friends, and the entire world would see it and feel ashamed for her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all make mistakes, maybe we don't go on &lt;i&gt;Politically Incorrect&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTYtu4lSqfU&amp;amp;feature=related" target="_blank"&gt;say that it was wrong for people to lie to Nazis about hiding Jews in their homes&lt;/a&gt;,  but we all have lapses in judgment that we hope no one else sees.  How would you feel if your lowest moment was caught on tape and played  on every major news show in America? These videos were obviously never  supposed to be seen by people like us and I want to personally reprimand  the disgusting, vile, maladjusted, bottom-feeding scumbags that lure  down-on-their-luck girls to say and do deplorable things on camera for the titillation of only a few fat, ugly, girlfriendless, perverted,  mentally-ill Values Voters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shame on you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I like to believe O'Donnell has learned her lesson and will never appear in an embarrassing video again, the revelations that she &lt;a href="http://washingtonindependent.com/97424/tea-party-favorite-odonnell-takes-delaware"&gt;has been living off campaign donations and has racked up thousands in debt by not paying her staff&lt;/a&gt; lead me to believe that if things don't rapidly get better for the spunky young  Senatorial candidate from Delaware we may see another shameful video of  her on the internet spearheading a campaign to make it illegal to have  sex with the lights on.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-5179740447352973624?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/5179740447352973624/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-thoughts-on-christine-odonnell.html#comment-form" title="4 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5179740447352973624?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5179740447352973624?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-thoughts-on-christine-odonnell.html" title="My Thoughts on the Christine O'Donnell Videos" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkcNQ3gyfSp7ImA9Wx5WGEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-874543987741822571</id><published>2010-09-14T02:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T16:08:12.695-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-30T16:08:12.695-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Election 2010" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="4 Star Posts" /><title>Congressional Candidates You Have Not Heard Of</title><content type="html">As election season nears the races for many Congressional and Senatorial  seats are heating up. As September turns into October the debates will  become more frequent, town hall meetings will spring up, and rally  stages will be set in town squares all over America. Many of the  candidates are relative unknowns while others are career politicians  looking for another term. With so many people all running how can you  possibly keep track of them all? Even if these people don't represent  your district it's important to keep up-to-date on all of these  elections, for who knows, perhaps the next President is currently  running for a Congressional seat in Nebraska or Indiana. Today The Wash  O'Hanley Show has gathered some of the most intriguing challengers and  incumbents running for Congressional seats all over America and profiled  them for you in a new segment I like to call "Congressional Candidates  You Have Not Heard Of." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TI8_mZ1MAFI/AAAAAAAAAEk/Xyk4VoKgUMc/election6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt; Vern Ehlers - Republican - Michigan 3rd - Incumbent &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TI87ZYaZoBI/AAAAAAAAAEU/aAkdFetifr0/election1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;About Him:&lt;/b&gt; A grizzled Vietnam Vet, Ehlers is known for once  taking out an entire Platoon of VC with just a hunting knife and a sock  puppet. Plagued with PTSD upon his return to an America that didn't want  him, he lived in a hollowed-out tree trunk for three years while  surviving off the land. Took office after his predecessor was found with  his throat slashed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Interesting Fact:&lt;/b&gt; If re-elected, Vern promises to fight cancer to the death in a back-alley knife fight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why is He Running:&lt;/b&gt; Isn't sure anymore, the fog of war has clouded his memory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What He's Accomplished:&lt;/b&gt; Despite all the physical abuse, his  district continues to vote for him because "deep down he didn't mean to  hurt us and is sorry." When neighboring districts ask about the bruises,  the 3rd just says it walked into a wall on accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why You Should Vote For Him:&lt;/b&gt; Promises to hunt down and slaughter anyone that doesn't vote for him with a crossbow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Worst Gaffe:&lt;/b&gt; Called an airstrike on a town hall meeting he was holding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bruce Braley - Democrat - Iowa 1st - Incumbent  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TI87ZTNgbjI/AAAAAAAAAEY/sVLdoW1wgoI/election2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;About Him:&lt;/b&gt; Braley is an old-time Democrat in the tradition of  Jimmy  Carter and Joe Biden, he grew up on a corn farm in Central Iowa  and learned  the value of a dollar while whoring himself on the streets  of Kansas  City as a teenager.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Interesting Fact:&lt;/b&gt; Due to contractual obligations, Braley must  mention  Best Foods™ Mayonnaise at least once in every speech or public   appearance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why is He Running:&lt;/b&gt; For the ladies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What He's Accomplished:&lt;/b&gt; Got Congress to recognize the sanctity of a robot-caribou relationship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why You Should Vote For Him:&lt;/b&gt; It's nice to see him out doing things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Worst Gaffe:&lt;/b&gt; Calls his decision to direct the film "Smokey and the Bandit 3" his greatest moral shortcoming. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jake Towne - Democrat - Pennsylvania 15th - Challenger&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TI87ZvU5znI/AAAAAAAAAEc/-1YoQOkKACk/election3.png" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;About Him:&lt;/b&gt; Kicked out of every college his dad could get him into  in the tri-state area, Jake has set his eyes on the biggest frat house  of them all: Congress. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Interesting Fact:&lt;/b&gt; Once woke up in a dumpster behind the Pizza Hut  with the shredded  carcass of a raccoon that he'd apparently consumed  the previous night and all of his teeth were missing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why is He Running:&lt;/b&gt; Filled out the wrong form while registering to be a sex offender. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What He's Accomplished:&lt;/b&gt; In high school he had the foresight to  put that Hustler Magazine Bobby Hillinger found&amp;nbsp; that they hid in the  ditch behind the wall by the storm drain in a plastic bag so it wouldn't  get wet when it rained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why You Should Vote For Him:&lt;/b&gt; Promises to "sock it to those ****ing Fascists in Washington and stuff." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Worst Gaffe:&lt;/b&gt; Released several hungry wolverines into the audience of a debate to prove a point about out of control spending. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ann Marie Buerkle - Republican - New York 25th - Challenger &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TI87Z0gWrnI/AAAAAAAAAEg/RIp5kvQV5yA/election4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;About Her:&lt;/b&gt; Buerkle is a banshee who was freed from cursed bondage  in an area cemetery by a group of high school teens 400 years to the  day after she was burned at the stake for being a witch.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Interesting Fact:&lt;/b&gt; Has a very strong stance on abstinence-only eduction, in that she kills teenagers that are in the midst of sexual intercourse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why is She Running:&lt;/b&gt; To break the final curse of bondage on the  tomb of Ryl'them, as foretold in the Book of the Spirits, which will  flood the realm of the living with the spirits of the restless dead who  will devour all of mankind in unspeakable darkness and evil. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What She's Accomplished:&lt;/b&gt; After getting her M.B.A. from SUNY  Purchase, she turned a start-up Consulting Firm into the fourth-largest  of its kind in New York State in only five years.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why You Should Vote For Her:&lt;/b&gt; You shouldn't vote for her for any  reason at all, but come election day she will appear to you in the  voting booth in the form of a beautiful young girl and seduce you,  causing you to vote for her. She will then turn back into her hideous  banshee form and consume your soul. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Worst Gaffe:&lt;/b&gt; Accidentally said "Screw the Troops" at a rally on September 11th. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nick Coons - Libertarian - Arizona 5th - Challenger&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TI87ZTIZaqI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/O7qxjmolg2U/election5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;About Him:&lt;/b&gt; A regular at city council meetings for over 25 years,  Nick Coons finally decided to run for Congress. Coons promises to cut  down on wasteful government spending across the board; getting rid of  social programs such as schools, police officers and fire fighters.  Believes that all of the government's problems can be solved by "putting  them in a trailer." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Interesting Fact:&lt;/b&gt; Lives in a 1967 Dodge Coronet and keeps all of  his possessions in a stolen U-Haul trailer, which is where he gets his  campaign slogan, "Put it in a Trailer." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Why is He Running:&lt;/b&gt; Has a plan, as detailed on the napkins in his  coat pocket, to eventually move all the branches of the U.S. Government  into a tractor trailer, which will save tax-payers billions of dollars a  year. Coon also has his eye on the Presidency-- in that he wants to  privatize the position, saving tax payers about a couple million dollars  a year. &lt;br /&gt;

I'm happy to report that in  recognition of those who lost their lives in the Twin Towers on that  fateful day and all of our men and women who served in Iraq and  Afghanistan, I managed to make it for a full 24 hours only saying the  word "9/11." In a small way this radio broadcaster was able to  understand the loss and hardship that those brave people suffered as a  result of terrorism as I attempted to order a KFC Double Down only using  the word "9/11" in a drive through. After nearly half an hour the line  of cars behind me was wrapping around the fast food franchise and the  manager had to come outside so I could point at the picture menu and  show him what I wanted. Never forget. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

MILITARY PERSONNEL: THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
My decision to only say "9/11" yesterday hit another rough patch as I  witnessed a horrific traffic accident while enjoying my KFC Double Down  in the car. I called 9-1-1 but had trouble directing rescue officials to  the scene of the accident only using the words "nine" and "eleven," but  am happy to report that even in the heat of that terrible moment I  never slipped up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-5510348498563108864?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/5510348498563108864/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/reflections-on-911.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5510348498563108864?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5510348498563108864?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/reflections-on-911.html" title="Reflections on 9/11" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkMNRnYyfCp7ImA9Wx5XEkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-2285098606801719894</id><published>2010-09-11T16:41:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-11T16:41:37.894-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-11T16:41:37.894-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="9/11 Changed Everything" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="9/11" /><title>9/11</title><content type="html">&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIsw9cjxLmI/AAAAAAAAAEA/1MRWRfk0Y2g/911neverforgeteverythingchanged.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Jones, leader of the Gainesville, Florida-based Dove World Outreach   Center, announced he will travel Saturday to New York to meet with the   religious leader behind the planned center, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf,   about a new location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that, too, was questioned. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rauf and Imam Muhammad Musri, a Florida Muslim leader who appeared  with  Jones, said later no agreement on a meeting or relocation of the   mosque had been reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jones insisted the church "put a  temporary hold" on the Quran burning  event after he had been told by  Musri of a deal to move the New York  mosque. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I am actually very  disappointed and very shocked because if this  turns out to be true, he  [Musri] clearly, clearly lied to us," Jones  said Thursday evening. &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/09/florida.quran.burning/index.html?hpt=T2" target="_blank"&gt;(More)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
At  this point I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm getting tired of  all this back and forth from Jones. One day he wants to burn the Quran,  the next he doesn't, then he isn't sure. Make up your mind! We all know  Terry Jones used to be the best Quran-burning Pastor in America... back  in like 1996. But it's 2010 right now and Jones, while still burning  Qurans at a high level well past his prime, is just a shell of his  former greatness. The guy holds all the records and I think it's safe to  say that unless a young prodigy comes out of nowhere those records are  safe. At this point I feel like Jones is just burning Qurans for the  publicity, the money, and to keep racking up stats and records. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one is denying he had a good 2007, and his 2009 was unreal for  someone his age, but to come back to Quran burning on such short notice  after nearly 6 months rehabbing the tennis elbow he developed from  throwing so many Qurans on a pyre in January is going to come back and  haunt him. Folks, Terry Jones just isn't at 100% and I feel like he's  going to hold his entire congregation back by making another unnecessary  comeback. The Dove World Outreach Church has a lot on their plate, and I  just feel like while Terry Jones is the most important pastor in their  history, there are young up and coming pastors riding the bench right  now that need to get some time behind the pulpit if they are going to  develop and help this church in the future. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's time for Terry Jones to step away from Quran burning, as hard as  that may be for him. He has dedicated his entire life to burning Islamic  holy texts and has accomplished more than any other Islamophobe will  ever achieve. To put it simply: he needs to step away with dignity  before it's too late. It would honestly be a shame if he sat around  these next few days wasting his church's time as they try to move on,  only to decide at the last second that he wants one last shot at glory a  couple of hours before the first book gets set ablaze. Even if he does  come back he's going to be rusty and I don't think the fans who have  spent the last 18-20 years following his career want to watch him  attempt to throw a book on the fire only to have it get intercepted by a  New Orleans Saints defensive back while three of their D-linemen crush  him and break his legs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-6015520393560293350?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/6015520393560293350/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/wash-ohanley-on-terry-jones-and-quran.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/6015520393560293350?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/6015520393560293350?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/wash-ohanley-on-terry-jones-and-quran.html" title="Wash O'Hanley on Terry Jones and Quran Burning" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUUGSX09cSp7ImA9Wx5XEU0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-6070202234171360029</id><published>2010-09-08T15:17:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T01:27:08.369-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-10T01:27:08.369-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="football" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Classic Quotes" /><title>Wash O'Hanley on Fantasy Football</title><content type="html">"I don't know if Christians should even be participating in it.

Gone are the dog days of summer and with  them we can finally stop pretending we care about baseball. Football is  America's game and in only a few days we will entertain ourselves with  the glorious runs, the razzle-dazzle trick plays, the last second  touchdowns and the bone-crushing hits for 22 weeks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the men who suit up and take to the field every Sunday afternoon are  the epitome of what a real man should be: strong, brave, and fierce.  With over 2,000 players on active rosters, practice squads or in free  agency, there is always the possibility that there will be at least a  few homosexuals. When you work in political media, like I do, you become  privy to certain information of a sensitive nature, which I am prepared  to share with you all now. Below is an extensive list of suspected  homosexuals currently playing in the NFL, as provided by a friend of  mine in a high place.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Ray Lewis - Linebacker - Baltimore Ravens&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIbyrVHv28I/AAAAAAAAADs/XEwaenA6v4g/raylewis.jpg%5BIMG%5Dfile:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Joey/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIbyrVHv28I/AAAAAAAAADs/XEwaenA6v4g/raylewis.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A first round draft choice back in 1996, Lewis has been the face of the  Ravens franchise since they moved from Cleveland to Baltimore. During  his 14 year NFL career he's amassed 1,770 tackles, 36.5 sacks and 28  interceptions. He's also an 11 time Pro-Bowler and the Most Valuable  Player of Super Bowl XXXV. Lewis is considered by most football  historians to be the greatest inside linebacker in the history of  professional football. In the debate of who the greatest inside  linebacker of all time is there are no question marks, but many question  marks surround Ray's personal life off the field. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Evidence: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Coaches say his ability to penetrate is second to none.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Considering how many tackles he has, one can only assume he really likes touching men.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Watches Will &amp;amp; Grace at his locker to get pumped up before games.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spends an unusual amount of time working out.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Carson Palmer - Quarterback - Cincinnati Bengals&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIbyrFMKNII/AAAAAAAAADo/cioVL8PQNlQ/carsondog.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The former number 1 overall pick has transformed the Bengals from the  biggest laughing stock in the league to a contender in the AFC North.  During his tenure as Cincinnati's starting quarterback he has proven to  be an efficient game manager with a great arm and superior accuracy.  While he claims to be straight and has a wife and two kids, one can only  wonder if his portrait of happy marital life is just a front he puts on  to fool people into thinking he's not gay. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Evidence:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;When meeting new people he often says "I'm a tiger" while growling and pantomime-scratching.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wears his uniform in public when not playing football.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Led the league in butt-slaps in 2009.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is  described as one of the most accurate passers in the league with the  capability to fit the ball into really tight spaces, which begs the  question of what other things he can fit in tight spaces.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Al Harris - Cornerback - Green Bay Packers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIbyrCh4nQI/AAAAAAAAADk/Xb2UyTiGGpE/alharris.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dominant defensive back for the Packers has long been known for his  in-your-face style of play and dominant shut down abilities. Known as  one of the most physical corners in the NFL, could he also be physical  off the field? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Evidence:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Was flagged for an illegal use of the hands penalty inside a Green Bay grocery store in April.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spends more time working on his hair than studying opposing offenses.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Participates in the celebratory dances of other teams.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shares a hotel room with a teammate during away games.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Vernon Davis - Tight End - San Francisco 49ers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="277" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIbyrd49z_I/AAAAAAAAADw/wXWSM9t55_0/vernondavis.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seen as a bust early in his career, Vernon Davis came into his own  during the 2009 campaign and proved himself to be one of the most  dominant tight ends in the game; getting invited to his first Pro Bowl  along the way. Davis has been known for his volatile personality which  has gotten him into trouble in the past, but is he doing things off the  field that could also get him in trouble?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Majored in Studio Art in college and was an honorary captain of the US Curling Team in the 2010 Winter Olympics.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once wore a Cleveland Browns uniform to a game so he wouldn't be wearing the same thing as anyone else.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When  asked by a reporter how he managed to get such good separation from  Linebacker Lance Briggs after a game against the Chicago Bears, Davis  said "we just needed to spend some time apart."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lives and works in San Francisco.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Adrian Peterson - Running Back - Minnesota Vikings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIbyq0XpdaI/AAAAAAAAADg/8239YmDPIP4/adrian-peterson.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adrian Peterson has proven himself over the last three seasons as a  dominant offensive force and one of the top two running backs in the  NFL. In his rookie season he broke the single-game rushing record and  holds the record for most yardage earned on the ground in a player's  first two years. While on the field he's a freak of nature, the things  he does off the field have raised more than a few eyebrows. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Evidence:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Racks up huge amounts of yardage on the ground trying to outrun his gay thoughts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is often seen wearing the color purple.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Has been noted for his ability to find the hole.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After  fumbling 20 times in three years, league sources have said he spent  most of the off season working on his ball-handling skills.&lt;/li&gt;

The move comes after years of pressure to remove the ads, including an &lt;a href="http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/CraigslistLetter" target="_blank"&gt;open letter&lt;/a&gt; from 17 state attorneys general &lt;a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/204198/attorneys_general_want_craigslist_adult_services_shut_down.html?tk=rel_news" target="_blank"&gt;in late August&lt;/a&gt;.

The attorneys  general requested Craigslist take immediate action to stop accepting ads  since it "cannot, or will not" screen them. &lt;a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/204896/craigslist_adult_services_section_shut_down.html"&gt;(More)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Now where are straight Conservative men like myself supposed to find strapping young guys to carry our luggage during vacations to Southeast Asia?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-123788036431923270?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/123788036431923270/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/craigslist-shuts-down-adult-ads-section.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/123788036431923270?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/123788036431923270?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/craigslist-shuts-down-adult-ads-section.html" title="Craigslist Shuts Down Adult Ads Section of Website" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;Ak8BQ3c9cCp7ImA9Wx5WGEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-2949833211386900891</id><published>2010-09-03T16:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T16:20:52.968-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-30T16:20:52.968-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Stephen Hawking" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Jesus" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cappies" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="science" /><title>Wheelchair-bound Stephen Hawking is Wrong Again (Surprise!)</title><content type="html">Earlier this week an excerpt from Stephen Hawking's new book &lt;i&gt;The Grand Design&lt;/i&gt;  was published in The Times of London. Hawking's book, a smorgasbord of  typical atheistic talking points and straw man arguments meant to make  Christians look like a bunch of nit-wits, argues that the universe could  have conceivably come from nothing; an assertion that stands in stark  contrast to the beliefs of the Christian church. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Christians have long held the belief that in order for anything to exist  there must have been a creator. The computer chair that I am currently  sitting in did not materialize out of nothing: someone made all of the  individual parts and assembled it, allowing me to sit on it right now.  Using that logic we can ascertain that the Earth and the galaxy in which  we reside did not spontaneously come into existence; someone had to  have intelligently designed it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For many years atheists have attempted (unsuccessfully) to debate that  the Earth did not come from a creator, but when asked where, they mumble  inaudibly and then attempt to move on to the next answer. Usually  saying something like "I can't tell you where we came from, and neither  can you, because no one was there to see it." Yet if we have learned  nothing else, it is that the galaxy, the Earth, humanity and our  ecosystem are all incredibly simplistic entities. Scientists would have  you to believe that the human body or the Amazon Rain Forest are all  infinitely complex organisms, so in-tune with their surroundings and  ingrained with the earth that it is simply ridiculous to accept that  they were created by one being, but were instead the product of millions  of years of evolution. What atheists and evolutionists forget is that  God is capable of anything a human mind can conceive. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Atheists and evolutionists will have you believe that the Earth is  billions of years old. They will point to fossils and rock formations  that can all be dated back millions of years ago. They will take you to  the Grand Canyon and explain that there was no way it could exist if the  Earth were only six thousand years old. The believer, filled with the  capability to conceive of anything God could theoretically do,  would point out that since God is infinitely powerful, he theoretically  could have formed it six thousand years ago, but made it look like it  was formed billions of years ago. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For you see, readers, God is greater than anything that can be  conceived. The human mind is not limitless, but God is. God is greater  than the greatest thing you can think of, otherwise he wouldn't be God.  What is greater? The gradual erosion caused by a river over the course  of millions of years to form a chasm thousands of feet deep, or God  making a chasm that is thousands of feet deep that looks like it was  made gradually over millions of years, but really only took a few days? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even if Hawking is correct and the world and the universe did  spontaneously come into existence that still doesn't disprove God. God,  being greater than nothing coming into existence as the result of  nothing, clearly would have greenlit and supervised the nothingness  coming into somethingness as a result of nothingness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;"Spontaneous creation is the reason why there is something rather   than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not  necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper [fuse] and set the  universe going."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ultimately, though, my problem with Hawking  comes from his callousness. Who does he think he is? What authority does  he have to speak on an issue like this? As a physicist, Hawking is as  qualified to talk about theological issues as I, a political pundit, am  to perform amateur surgery. But just as I only perform minor operations  on people during social get-togethers, Hawking should leave the  religion-talk for the wine and cheese parties. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an atheist, as someone who doesn't believe in God, Hawking has no  place running his mouth on a subject like this. The creation of our  Earth is inherently and wholly a religious and theoretically subject,  not a scientific one. Only religious people who have dedicated their  entire lives to objectively studying the Bible, earning post-graduate  degrees in religious studies from Christian Universities are really  qualified to speak on the subject of Earth's creation, and thus far not a  single one of the leading Christian researchers in the world have come  to the same conclusion as Hawkings. These are people that have far more  religious training, who went to Biblical colleges to unbiasedly study  religion with an open mind, and determined that the Bible and the word  of God is the only true path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doctors speak on subjects of medicine, lawyers speak on subjects of the  law, economists speak on subjects of the economy while used car salesmen  from Arkansas, stay at home mothers of 9 from Kansas and right wing  radio pundits from Iowa who at one time in the early 80s made a living  writing robot lesbian erotica are qualified to speak on subjects of  Religion.  Frankly, who cares what Hawking has to say about religion  anyway? You wouldn't go to a lawyer if you needed a tooth pulled, you  wouldn't see a car mechanic if you needed legal council, why would you  go to a physicist for answers to religious questions?&lt;br /&gt;

A Comprehensive Guide to Asian People&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Types of Asians:&lt;/b&gt; Chinks (China), Nips (Japan), Gooks (Vietnam)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Things Asians do:&lt;/b&gt; Asians are the human equivalent of sheep and  are prone to similar behaviors. Below is a list of things that many  Asians are known to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Steal jobs and places in universities from white people-&lt;/b&gt; Look  around any average US university and what will you notice? The places  are all overrun with Asians. Asian people only try hard in middle and  high school and get better grades than white people because they want to  steal college placement positions that rightfully belong to white kids.  Asian people have taken over America's institutions of higher learning  and as a result are getting better jobs and making more money than white  people. Even the Asians that didn't do well in school are stealing jobs  from Americans that didn't do well in school by setting up sweat shops.  Americans are losing their jobs to 12 year old Chinese kids that are  willing to do the same job for a lot less money. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Poisoning Americans-&lt;/b&gt; Asians enjoy making hazardous toys, dog food and tooth paste that kills Americans. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Street Racing-&lt;/b&gt; Asians enjoy modifying inferior Asian-made cars  and racing them illegally on the streets. Millions of people are killed  every year in America as a result of this hobby. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Chinese Restaurants-&lt;/b&gt; Chinese Restaurants are the greatest pyramid  scheme in the history of mankind. The kitchens in these restaurants are  often overrun with cockroaches and rats that get into the food. While  Asian people themselves do not actually eat Chinese food, they are more  than happy to poison and overcharge "whitey" for Chinese food. They get  away with it mostly because of the self-esteem-boosting fortune cookies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Owning Laundromats-&lt;/b&gt; Most Asians own Laundromats because they enjoy smelling people's dirty underwear and masturbating on their clothes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIBAyiUlMGI/AAAAAAAAACw/hdEWK0xbe60/racist-sunglasses.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Asians are all atheists:&lt;/b&gt; The vast majority of Asians are atheists  and worship Satan. While there are many "religions" in Asia, few  promote the existence of a God, salvation or an afterlife of any kind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;59% of the Chinese population is Atheist.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Christians are forbidden from bringing Bibles and spreading the word of Christ in most Asian countries.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Because  they are atheists and do not subscribe to any moral code, nothing is  preventing Asian countries from at some time in the future having a  higher murder rate than Christian nations like America or Liberia.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
All Asian nations are or were Communist:&lt;/b&gt; Every Asian nation is or was at one point was Communist. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Asians have perverted names:&lt;/b&gt; Asian people like to choose names  like "Wang" and "Dong" as a perverted joke. Nothing gets a little Korean  guy's 2" penis harder than hearing a "stupid American" call him Wang  during a business meeting. Many Asians also wear bowl haircuts so their  heads will look like circumcised penises. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Asians are all cheap like Jews:&lt;/b&gt; Never go out to lunch with Asian people: they will never pick up the bill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Comprehensive list of things Asians have invented:&lt;/b&gt; Asians have  been responsible for inventing many things throughout the years; none of  which have been of any use to normal people in the real world. Asians  are incapable of creating anything that isn't sexually perverse or  ultra-violent. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Hentai-&lt;/b&gt; Asians are so depraved they cannot have normal monogamous  relationships; instead preferring to draw out their perverse sexual  fantasies in the form of comic books. Typical hentai involves  pedophilia, rape, bestiality, incest, transexualism, and tentacle rape  (in which a tentacled monster rapes children): all disgusting acts to  normal people that are endorsed and celebrated as normal in Asian  countries. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIBBnRzs6JI/AAAAAAAAAC4/kDJjZ3cSJTE/manga%20hentai%20-%20ranma%20-%20ranma%20catgirl%2001%7E1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.physorg.com/news189528493.html" target="_blank"&gt;Creepy Robots&lt;/a&gt;-&lt;/b&gt;  All Asian people are robosexuals and are only sexually attracted to  robots. Unable to connect emotionally with a person of the opposite sex  (or even the same sex for that matter) and afraid of being made fun of  for their freakishly small penises, Asians build robots that look like  humans that will do things with them sexually that most humans wouldn't  even be willing to do for money. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Karate-&lt;/b&gt; Karate is a form of performance art that Asians enjoy  playing. Karate involves putting on pajamas and rainbow-colored belts  and pretending like you're in an action movie fight sequence. Karate is  the the gay version of the manly and American Mixed Martial Arts, made  popular by Chuck Norris.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Video Games-&lt;/b&gt; Asians invented video games in order to corrupt the  moral fiber of the world. Most video games allow the person playing it  to do things like murder and rape without repercussion. Some say that  video games allow people to act out their fantasies so they won't do  them in real life, but in reality these are just training simulators so  that the person playing it will be ready for when the time comes to  actually rape or murder. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Rice Rockets- &lt;/b&gt;Rice Rockets are homosexual Asian motorcycles. The  rider of the rice rocket must press their entire genital region on the  seat of the bike as they ride. The vibrations from the engine and the  road stimulate the rider's sex organs until they become filled with lust  and debauchery. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;List of Asian "accomplishments":&lt;/b&gt; Asians are known for being lazy   and stupid. The entire continent of Asia has achieved very little  during  recorded human history, here is a substantial list of every  major thing  Asians have accomplished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Great Wall of China-&lt;/b&gt; Some unimpressive wall out in the middle of no where. Who cares?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Getting blown up by America-&lt;/b&gt; Many Asian countries are only famous  because America blew them up. Asia is like the Monica Lewinsky of  Continents: only famous because someone more powerful and influential  blew a load all over them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Massacres-&lt;/b&gt; Asians are despicable and vile "people" that are  predisposed to shocking violence and it is not surprising that many of  the world's greatest massacres were caused by Asians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Rape of Nanking stands as one of the worst massacres in the history of mankind.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Japanese terrorists attacked innocent Americans at Pearl Harbor without provocation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Virginia Tech massacre, perpetrated by an Asian, stands as the worst shooting during peacetime on American soil.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Famous Asian people:&lt;/b&gt; Despite being the world's most populated  continent, Asia is responsible for producing only a handful of famous  people, most of whom are disgusting degenerates that the world would be  better off without. Below is a list of the most famous and influential  Asian people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kim Jong Ill-&lt;/b&gt; Kim Jong Ill is a Communist dictator who has been  responsible for the deaths of millions of people. He is a tyrant that  suppresses his people: denying them freedom and forcing them to live in  abject poverty. Despite this all Asians revere him and treat him as a  God, from Japan to Bhutan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;William Hung- &lt;/b&gt;William Hung is an Asian retarded that became  famous for being an awful singer on American Idol that everyone in  America made fun of. In Asia, however, he is very popular and  well-respected. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIBAygwyXNI/AAAAAAAAAC0/XW9qiFIpSrU/2_149118-William_Hung.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Seung-Hui Cho-&lt;/b&gt; Cho is the perpetrator of the Virginia Tech  Massacre: the worst peace-time shooting in the history of the United  States. He was a mentally-ill atheist who killed 32 Americans on April  16th, 2007 and is noted for being addicted to internet hentai  pornography, playing video games excessively, and being raised by a  family that owned a Laundromat. Cho is considered a hero and a celebrity  in most Asian nations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Ang Lee-&lt;/b&gt; Director of the gay pornographic film &lt;i&gt;Brokeback Mountain&lt;/i&gt;.  His film was about two gay cowboys and was meant to undermine American  national security by making us look weak to our enemies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-5574298054220776383?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/5574298054220776383/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/asians-devils-squinty-eyed-servants.html#comment-form" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5574298054220776383?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5574298054220776383?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/asians-devils-squinty-eyed-servants.html" title="Asians - The Devil's Squinty-Eyed Servants" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TIBAyiUlMGI/AAAAAAAAACw/hdEWK0xbe60/s72-c/racist-sunglasses.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUEDQXw6eCp7ImA9Wx5QE0s.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-5855057770194644265</id><published>2010-09-01T12:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-01T12:01:10.210-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-01T12:01:10.210-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="the media" /><title>Jimmy Carter Begins Diplomatic Talks to Bring Sexy Back</title><content type="html">September 1, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WASHINGTON, DC -- Hot off his successful diplomatic mission to North  Korea where he secured the release of a detained U.S. citizen, Jimmy  Carter announced his plans to bring Sexy back. At a press conference at  Dulles International Airport the former U.S. President expressed his  desire to secure the release of Sexy from Brazil. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I'm hoping the Brazilian Government will have a sit down with me and  discuss the possibility of allowing Sexy to return to the United  States," the 85 year old humanitarian explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 29 years since he was last in office Carter has spent much of  his time and efforts on securing the release of Americans imprisoned in  foreign countries. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"To put it plainly: America needs Sexy back," Carter told members of the press Tuesday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Detained in 2004 while hiking in the mountainous borderlands between  Peru and Brazil, Sexy has been living in a jail in the city of Rio Banco  since. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Brazilian government has allowed U.N. peacekeepers to maintain  contact with Sexy. They have reported that conditions within the jail  are deplorable and that if Sexy requires immediate psychological  evaluation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"The time is right to bring Sexy back," Carter stated. "Both for Sexy's well-being, and for our own sake." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TH4dkEMQlhI/AAAAAAAAACc/YAFbBZfpBdA/bringbacksexycarter.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Carter on a fact-finding mission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Carter pointed out that America is facing its greatest dearth of Sexy in  nearly a century. Since 2004 one night stands, strip club attendance,  and pregnancies are all down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One need only glance around La Cantina, a bar near the University of  Texas at Austin, to see the devastating effects Sexy's absence has had  on colleges all over America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"You used to see people hooking up in here every night, but now that  Sexy's gone you're lucky if you can get a handjob once a month,"  explained sixth year undergraduate Communications major Doug Robinson,  weighing in on the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Critics have asserted that Carter's proposed trip would only serve to  embolden the South American country and legitimize their behavior. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"To go down to Brazil and have a sit down with this nation will only  lead to America being seen as weak," Senator Chuck Grassley ,R- Iowa,  insisted during a phone interview. "Mr. Carter's time would be better  spend securing the release of nouns, verbs and adjectives from  first-world nations. Why spend so much time getting Sexy back when the  French have had Snobbery detained for nearly three centuries? Or how  about getting Awkward Romantic Misunderstandings back from England?" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the face of immense criticism from the Right, Carter has asserted the dire need to bring Sexy back to America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I recently judged a wet t-shirt contest in West Palm Beach, [Florida].  To say it was un-sexy would not be sufficient to describe just how  flaccid my penis was. Let's just say it was the most inhuman thing I'd  ever witnessed, and that's coming from a guy who presided during the  Iran Hostage Crisis," a visibly shaken Carter recounted. "Looking at the  pictures of the young ladies on the beaches in Rio... I'd like to drop a  peanut down that cleavage, I tell you what."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When asked why he was the man for the job, Carter was quick to point out that until 2004 he was "a damn sexy man."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-5855057770194644265?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/5855057770194644265/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/jimmy-carter-begins-diplomatic-talks-to.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5855057770194644265?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/5855057770194644265?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/09/jimmy-carter-begins-diplomatic-talks-to.html" title="Jimmy Carter Begins Diplomatic Talks to Bring Sexy Back" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/TH4dkEMQlhI/AAAAAAAAACc/YAFbBZfpBdA/s72-c/bringbacksexycarter.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CU4NQH8-eSp7ImA9Wx5QEk8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307899278002054490.post-2932460924261276247</id><published>2010-08-30T00:03:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-30T20:06:31.151-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-08-30T20:06:31.151-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="the media" /><title>Restoring Honor: A Road Trip Into the Heart of Darkness</title><content type="html">&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;August 29, 2009&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Whoever refuses to remember the inhumanity is prone to new risks of infection."&lt;/i&gt; -Richard Von Weizsaecker&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally has come and gone  and is now but a collection of neurons floating around in the  alcohol-damaged brains of the unfortunate denizens that attended the  event, most of whom overwhelmed due to it being the first time they've  ever stepped foot in a city with a population larger than 25,000 people.  Future generations will learn about this monumental meeting of the  minds after internet archaeologists stumble upon the ruins of once  moderately-popular internet blogs from both sides of the aisle. What  will they think? Like archaeologists of today who scavenge the sites of  ancient villages for fishing hooks and broken pottery, what will future  generations make of Glenn Beck's Restoring America Rally? In all  likelihood our great grandchildren and their children may never know  about this monumental gathering, for unless the words that Professor  Beck shouted at his glossy-eyed mobile Coors Light consuming units spark  a peripetia of unparalleled proportion, our great grandchildren will be  slaves: owned by Chinese-speaking black gay Mexican slave handlers that  forbid reading and learning about the past.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 26,2009&lt;/b&gt; 9:47 am&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday morning we packed up the Ford Windstar and headed East:  D.C.-bound. Glenn Beck's got some rally going on and all the shakers and  movers and big wigs in the Republican Party are gonna be there.  According to a 65 year old retired air conditioner installer from  Nebraska I talked to in the diner before we left it's gonna be like  Burning Man for people that think Barack Obama was born in Kenya. The  station is sending me to write something up about it, I take my best  friend and personal physician, Miguel Gonzale,z with me; to keep me  company and in case something happens. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm in the driver's seat, holding it down at a steady 65 miles per hour,  seated next to me is Miguel. In the back seat are Karl Rove and Laura  Ingraham watching Hannah Montana on the drop-down entertainment system.  Together we make up the Upbeat Band of Socially-Responsible Conservative  Men and Women That Occasionally Perform Pranks of Varying Hilarity and  the Ford Windstar is our home away from home; the base from which our  pranks are dreamed up and conducted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 26, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 12:15 pm&lt;br /&gt;
Glenn Beck stated that the inspiration for this rally was the result of  divine providence. Four months ago he was on his knees praying to God to  give him a sign to help America through these trying times. God told  him he already had all the pieces of the puzzle: faith, hope and  charity. All three of these things, according to Beck, are found within  us. Not surprisingly, this is the same method I employ at the radio  station when it comes time to order lunch. Every day, invariably,  someone wants pizza, someone else wants Chinese food and someone else  wants Mexican. One day I finally got on my knees and asked God what the  answer was, and he told me the same thing: that all the pieces of the  puzzle are in front of me, all I need to do is put them together. From  that day forward we've had burritos stuffed with chow mein and tomato  sauce. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a gas station in Davenport I slip into the back seat, too tired to go  on. Karl is in the bathroom and Miguel is buying some Flamin' Hot  Cheetos in the mini mart. Laura asks me if I want to do something crazy.  Unsure I shrug my shoulders. She puts a strip of something on her  tongue, moves in close and kisses me deep, eventually whatever was on  her tongue is now in my mouth. I swallow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"What was that?" I ask.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"A Listerine Breath Strip, baby." She replies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stick my finger in my throat and try to make myself throw up, but she stops me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Just go with it baby. Pretty soon your breath is gonna be fresher than it's ever been before!" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I look out the window as Miguel and Karl exit the mini mart and make  their way toward the car. I straighten up and try to play it cool. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They get in the car and start it up, the engine roars. Suddenly and for  no reason Miguel turns around and looks at me, his face is now a giant  goat's head: it's eyes missing and blood and matted-down hair covering  it. I scream in terror. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"What's wrong, buddy?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rove turns around, he's a giant lizard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Yea, man, why you freakin' out?" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura tells them and they all have a laugh at my expense. Then Laura  gives the Rove and Dr. Miguel breath strips. I'm not sure if Miguel is  in any condition to operate a motor vehicle at this point but I go with  it. Eventually I pass out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 26, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 2:55 pm&lt;br /&gt;
Early reports on the internet and Fox News indicate that this is going  to be the most important event of our generation-- like Woodstock only  without the sex, drugs and rock and roll and with more uncomfortable  subtle racism. Being there will give you the right to say for the rest  of your life that you stood there during that momentous moment when Mr.  Beck took the stage and changed everything. Never before have more white  people gotten together to complain about one black guy. Missing this  would be like missing the moon landing because you were having explosive  Mexican food diarrhea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wake up somewhere on the 80 near Joliet, Illinois, the effects of the  breath strip are still with me. Looking around I notice Rove isn't in  the car anymore. I notice Laura is sitting up in her seat and looking  out the back window of the minivan, I unbuckle my seat belt and pivot  around to see what has her attention. Outside the car I see the craziest  thing I've ever laid eyes on. I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is real  or not, yet I cannot look away. Karl is riding a skateboard while  holding onto a rope that's tied to the trailer hitch on the back of the  van.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"WE CALL IT ROVE RAGE, BABY!" Laura screams at me, perhaps confirming   the worst thoughts that were occupying my mind at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Karl gives a thumbs up with his left hand and Laura yells at Miguel to  go faster. Instantly the car lurches forward. I look at the speedometer:  we're going 85.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THxxQsZxnpI/AAAAAAAAACE/_X6JNEgIyPE/roverage2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="216" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THxxQsZxnpI/AAAAAAAAACE/_X6JNEgIyPE/roverage2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Artist's rendition of Rove Rage&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Aigist 26, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 3:15 pm&lt;br /&gt;
I'm in a line at a gas station convenience store buying a Code: Red  Mountain Dew and a box of Rolaids. The woman in front of me is also  going to the rally and we strike up a conversation. She's middle-aged  and wearing a t-shirt with a picture of a Hitler-mustached Barack Obama   being sodomized by Lenin. She's come  here all the way from South  Dakota to hear Glenn speak and had to take three  days off of work to do  so. The lost wages, she says, are worth it.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 26, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 3:43 pm&lt;br /&gt;
Rumor has it all the water was drained from the reflecting pool and   filled with Glenn Beck's tears. Cripples and other people with physical   handicaps from all over the tri-state area have come to take advantage   of their healing powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We pull up at a Wendy's in Gary, Indiana. Outside a group of inner city youth have accumulated around the front door. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"You ready to freak out the establishment?" Rove asks me rhetorically as  he, Ingraham and Miguel pull plastic party masks over their faces; all  of them white rabbits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before I can say anything all three jump out of the Windstar and make their way toward the kids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"You kids go to school today?" Rove asks the kids. "Are you respectful  of your teachers? Do you go to church? You do your homework?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They nod yes to every question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Well let this be a lesson to you." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He pulls a glock out of the waist of his pants and points it at the kids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Gimme your wallets."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They do as he says. Once he has all their wallets everyone starts  backing toward the Windstar. "Let that be a lesson to you. NEVER TRUST  WHITEY, BITCHES!" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He laughs hysterically as we all pile back into the Windstar. Just then a  huge black guy exits the Wendy's eating a frosty. The kids run over to  him and point at us. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Oh shit! Step on it, Miguel!" Laura screams.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He slams the car into reverse, backs out of the parking space, and then  screeches into drive. The black guy pulls out a hand gun and starts  firing at the van. After three shots the back window shatters. Luckily  no one is hurt and we speed off back for the interstate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 27, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 12:14 pm&lt;br /&gt;
Laura insists we pick up a hitch-hiker we come across on the 70  somewhere in rural Pennsylvania-- somewhere near West Virginia. She's a  cute girl; no older than 19, blond hair. She says she's headed to see  her boyfriend in Florida: a runaway. We get to know each other for a  while. At some point Rove pulled off the interstate and is driving down a  two-lane road through some dense wooded area. He stops the car and gets  out. Suddenly and without warning Laura wraps a handkerchief around the  girl's head. The girl tries to scream but nothing but a muffled noise  comes out. Rove goes to the back of the Windstar and pulls a length of  rope from his duffle bag. He uses the rope to tie the girl's arms behind  her back. He picks her up and drops her on a ditch on the side of the  road, takes her pants off and proceeds to rape her for a prolonged  period of time while Laura cackles devilishly and spits and rubs dirt on  the girl's face. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"STIMULATE MY ECONOMY YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Karl screams at the girl as he violently rapes her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I bury my head under my pillow and cry. I think about the Restoring  Honor Rally: our reason for going this far to try and drown out the  girls muffled cries and Rove's disgusting sex noises. I can hear the no  doubt inspiring words that Mr. Beck will only in a  short time utter;  their notes transcending time as they go down in  history as some of the  most important ever uttered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally Rove and Laura get back in the car and we start moving again. The girl isn't with us. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/joeyfowler24/girl.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Missing since last week&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 27, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 9:54 pm&lt;br /&gt;
I've become increasingly terrified by the unpredictable behavior Rove  and Laura have been exhibiting thus far on the trip. I fear for my life  and the lives of those we may run into down the road. I think of my wife  and cry myself to sleep. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 28, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 10:00 am&lt;br /&gt;
"WHY THE SHIT ARE WE IN EAST BALTIMORE?" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wake up expecting to be in our Nation's capital, only to find myself outside a project in East Baltimore. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Calm the piffle down, O'Hanley" Rove instructs me. "I just need to pay someone a visit."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We're going to miss the rally. Apparently Rove and Laura don't care. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rove and Laura get out of the Windstar and go into the project, leaving  Miguel and I. Are the keys in the ignition? No. Dammit. We have no way  out of here. What are we going to do? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A group of street thugs standing in front of a liquor store are eyeing  us from across the street. I don't like this one bit. Suddenly a gun  shot rings out and fifteen seconds later Rove and Laura run out of the  project. Rove is carrying a sawed-off shotgun and Laura has a zip-lock  bag full of something white, but I can't tell what it is. Rove jumps in  the front, starts the car and peels out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I told Ultimate Charles not to piffle with me!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"You did what had to be did." Laura replies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rove turns to Miguel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Do I look like a Hungry Hungry Hippos?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"No"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Then why that nigga tryin' to play me?"  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 28, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 11:45 am&lt;br /&gt;
I'm thinking back to a simpler time. As a boy I used to go to my aunt's  house in rural Minnesota. Out in the yard she had a tire swing hanging  from a centuries old Eastern White Pine. Sometimes if you went outside  at the right time of the year you could watch the sun set through the  middle of the tire and it'd be like the tire was a big eye looking back  at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"We need to set some ground rules." Says Rove, breaking the silence I've  been enjoying. "You know what they say?" He turns and looks at Miguel  and I in the back seat. I wish he'd keep his eyes on the road. "Snitches  get stitches." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura turns around and accompanies this statement with a finger slicing across her throat while making a cutting noise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 28, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 2:24 pm&lt;br /&gt;
Rove pulls up in front of a Burger King off the side of the interstate.  I'm not an expert when it comes to the whereabouts of places in  Washington DC, but I know this isn't Washington DC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Get out." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miguel and I do so without thinking, forgetting to grab out things in  the process. Once outside of the Windstar. Maniacal laughing can be  heard as the two Right Wing lunatics drive out of sight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The morbidly obese, totally un do-able black woman behind the counter at  Burger King informs us that we're in Glasgow, Delaware. There's no way  we're going to make it to DC at this point. The opportunity to see Mr.  Beck speak is now gone. We had an opportunity to be a part of that  historic moment in our nation's history when everything changed forever  and we blew it. On the walk to our hotel Miguel and I argued about just  how amazing Beck's speech was. Would it be like the Gettysburg Address  and Mel Gibson's speech at the end of Braveheart being read by Mike  Ditka or would it be Jesus' sermon on the mound sung by a choir of  angels as Nancy Pelosi gets decapitated by a bear in a clown outfit  while the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders get rowdy and wash a car? The only  way to find out would be to watch it on youtube. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 28, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 4:03 pm&lt;br /&gt;
In the hotel lobby we kicked a 14 year old girl checking her myspace  page off the computer and accessed youtube.com. The top video was Mr.  Beck's speech. We prepared ourselves and clicked the link. Then found  out there were no speakers on the computer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 28, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 4:05 pm&lt;br /&gt;
In the business center there is a man using his laptop to e-mail  something or streamline some bullcrap or something. Anyway, we jacked  his laptop and brought it over to youtube.com. We got the video up and  got ready to play it. Before clicking the play button I stopped Miguel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"This may be the greatest moment of our lives." I said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miguel nodded, we both understood the gravity of the situation and hit  the play button, prepared to have our lives changed forever. There will  never be any going back. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 28, 2009&lt;/b&gt; 4:21 pm&lt;br /&gt;
"What the shit just happened? Was that cool or did that suck cause I  can't tell? I don't know. Let's sign this business guy up for a bunch of  gay porn newsletters and go back to Iowa."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

August 27, 2009&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brooklyn, NY-- Christian missionaries from the Landover Baptist Church  have hit a roadblock in their efforts to bring the word of Christ to the  people of Brooklyn, as they are completely unable to tell if the ironic  hipsters of the New York City borough are actually serious about their  interest to learn about Jesus. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hipsters are a subculture of city-dwelling twenty-to-forty-year-old's  who are marked by their self-perceived creativity, outlandish and  vintage sense of fashion, appreciation of independent music and films,  and irritating ironic personalities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trouble all started when efforts to convert the artistic and well-educated scenesters were met with overwhelming success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"The figures right now are drastically different than any other region  or demographic group we’ve come across in the past," explained  missionary John Carlton of Freehold, Iowa. "These are young people  coming from upper-middle class families who hold college degrees, yet  our success rate has been dubiously high."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Traditionally young Caucasians with college educations are  near-impossible to witness to, but the ironic New York hipsters can't  seem to get enough of the message these missionaries deliver. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carlton continued, "On a good day we may be lucky and convert an old  Korean woman at the senior center or a strung-out meth addict at the  homeless shelter, but to get these kinds of numbers from this  demographic is unreal." Carlton added, "Right now we're getting eight  out of every ten people we speak with to accept Jesus Christ as their  personal savior. To put that number into perspective: during our trip to  Mozambique last winter we were only converting six out of every ten  people, and we were giving them food and water in exchange for their  testimony."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/joeyfowler24/missionaryhipster.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Missionary to Brooklyn John Carlton can't decide if he's just saved three souls or been made fun of. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While the Christians are winning a high ratio of hipster souls, many  of them are worried about the sincerity of the people they are  witnessing to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"I spent an hour yesterday at an organic fair-trade vegan sidewalk  bistro eating $30 hand-crafted artisan arugula tacos with a young girl  wearing a granny dress and a pair of non-prescription thick-framed  bifocals. After I stressed the dangers of hell and her eternal soul she  said 'Suuuuuuuuure, I'll become a Christian,'” explained college  sophomore and church member Becky Gilmore. “While at first I was  exhilarated to win my first soul, it dawned on me that something about  her tone sounded insincere.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many of the hipsters the team has converted did so with smirks on their  faces while others tweeted during the Lord's Prayer and took pictures of  themselves with the missionaries for their Myspace pages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caleb Norwood, a bicycle coffee deliver boy and freelance part time DJ  went so far as to call all of his friends to come watch him get  baptized. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"It was really difficult to concentrate on the ceremony with all of his  friends hysterically laughing the whole time," said John Carlton.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The missionaries were especially taken aback by how many of the ironic hipsters have never even heard of Jesus Christ. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"We knew the situation was going to be bad going in, but we had no idea  how dire the reality was," said Nolan Mason, a member of the group. "To  speak with white twenty to thirty year old men and women of apparent  middle-class upbringings in the American Midwest that have flat out  never heard the name Jesus Christ is truly heart-breaking." &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Skinny white guy, long brown hair, beard, white robe, turned water into  wine, fed an entire village with one loaf of bread, walked on water,  died and then resurrected," an exasperated and sweating Carlton preached  to a dumbfounded-looking audience on a street in Bushwick. "None of  this is ringing a bell?" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roughly 95% of the hipsters the team have encountered were totally  unaware of Jesus Christ, even as a historical figure, while a scant 5%  confused him with various pop culture figures from the 1980s including  John Hinkley Junior, Conan the Barbarian and the robot from &lt;i&gt;Short Circuit&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Jesus Christ? He was the actor from that sitcom about the guy who  pretended to be gay so he could live with two female roommates, right?"  Park Slope resident Meghan Ryan asked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They’re so quaint and authentic,” Josh Watson, the bearded bassist  for the underground post-rock band Al Gore and part time freelance  graphic designer explained. “Having people like them around reminds me  of my boyhood days in Wisconsin. The least we can do is humor them.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight the missionaries pack up and fly back to Iowa, unsure if their  mission was an overwhelming success or abject failure. When asked if  they were excited about how many new souls they had brought to Christ  the missionaries huddled up for a long time and finally replied with “We  don’t know.” While the results of this trip have been a mixed bag, the  Christians are looking forward to their trip to Chicago in November,  where they will witness to improvisational sketch comics.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6307899278002054490-4506318853072014986?l=washohanleyshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/feeds/4506318853072014986/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/08/christian-missionaries-to-brooklyn.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/4506318853072014986?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6307899278002054490/posts/default/4506318853072014986?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://washohanleyshow.blogspot.com/2010/08/christian-missionaries-to-brooklyn.html" title="Christian Missionaries to Brooklyn Unsure if Ironic New York Hipsters are Really Serious About Christ" /><author><name>Wash O'Hanley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14999019048376271755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="24" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hxvV7qJ_e7Y/THRZF_evaKI/AAAAAAAAAAU/x94MEv81ZA0/S220/wash.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
