Warning: If you are easily offended by political-religious satire I advise not reading on because this precious little piece will definitely push buttons. It will be offensive and sacrilegious if you take yourself, or your belief system very seriously.
Personally, I enjoy this kind of humor. So, for the not-so-faint of heart – enjoy! =)
The Parable of Jesus and the Rubber Chicken
What if Christ spoke at a Republican Party fund-raiser?
By Tom Peyer
TRANSCRIPT OF JESUS CHRIST’S REMARKS AT A REPUBLICAN PARTY FUND-RAISER, CRAWFORD, TEXAS, AUGUST 2005
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m going to have a hard time living up to an introduction like that. (LAUGHTER)
First, let Me express My gratitude for your support over the last few years. It’s nice to be thought of as a winner for a change. If I had known we’d get the House, the Senate, and two consecutive terms in the White House (APPLAUSE)—if I’d known all that, I would have had an easier time that Friday on the Cross, let me tell you. (LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
But seriously, folks (LAUGHTER)—no, seriously, that day did pass, and then two more. Then I rose from the dead. (CHEERS, APPLAUSE) Thank you. I rose from the dead and I flew up to Heaven. But first, you’ll remember, I made a little side trip to Hell (SCATTERED BOOS) just to get a look at how they do things. And I’m here to tell you, Hell is just like Heaven (AUDIBLE GASPS)—but with taxes. (LAUGHTER, CHEERS, APPLAUSE)
I’d especially like to thank President Bush, who gave me a free Pioneer membership. (AUDIBLE GASPS, MUTTERING) Was I not supposed to say that? Sorry. My point is, the president’s a good man. The only real difference between Me and him is his daddy found a way to forgive Bill Clinton. (WILD APPLAUSE)
Ken Mehlman asked me to come down here today to meet with you good people and clear up a few things you’ve been wondering about. I told him I’d be glad to eat a little crow for a good cause. You’ll forgive me if I read a brief prepared statement, but Ken and my Dad want me to get this just right. (LAUGHTER) Here goes.
“In My youth, I made certain ill-advised statements that I now regret. If I offended anyone, I apologize. I want to clarify that it is easy for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven. (CHEERS, WILD APPLAUSE)
“I’d like to apologize specifically to the money-changers. It is My sincere hope that you will come back into the Temple free of charge as My guests.” (WILD APPLAUSE, CHANT OF “U.S.A! U.S.A!”)
Finally—and this is Me speaking for Myself now—I want to say to the meek: Once we finally get rid of the death tax, you’re not inheriting anything. Not while you’re meek, so buck up. (CHEERS) And that goes double for you peacemakers. (LAUGHTER) Good night and Dad bless America. (CHEERS, WILD APPLAUSE)

Haha! I love it! I was thinking about you this morning. I am looking for Arabic summer programs. I was told by a friend at Princeton that Middlebury is the best in the nation. I am going to apply just to see what kind of cash they will give me for the program. Do you know what programs are best in the D.C./Baltimore/Philadelphia area? I was told that Georgetown has a decent program. Unfortunatley money is probably the main factor. We’ll see what happens.

That’s pretty funny. I especially cringed at the part where he’s talking about W and says that the only difference between them is “his daddy found a way to forgive Bill Clinton.” Yikes.
