Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.

The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day. The next day he drove upand said, ‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.’

Chuck replied, ‘Well, then just give me my money back.’

The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.’

Chuck said, ‘Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.’

The farmer asked, ‘What ya gonna do with him ?’

Chuck said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’

The farmer said ‘You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!’

Chuck said, ‘Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, ‘What happened with that dead donkey?’

Chuck said, ‘I raffled him off. I sold500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998.’

The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’

Chuck said, ‘Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.’

Chuck now works for Goldman Sachs.

I have no idea what this is, but it’s all slightly disturbing.

Scientists discover that unhappy people watch TV, happy people read/socialize. I knew it.

My new favorite magazine Bacon Today has some crucial tips for the serious bacon enthusiast. Be careful to refrain from worshiping bacon, okay? However, you can totally wrap your iPhone in bacon if you want.

The Summum case blows my mind. Exactly how much constitutional credence should we give to every hairbrained cult religion out there?

Waking before you I’ve got a fever and a childish wish for snow
Seems like a long, long time since I spun you to this borrowed radio

You pick a place that’s where I’ll be
Time like your cheek has turned for me

Someday the waves will stop every aching old machine will feel no pain
Someday we both will walk where a baby made tomorrow is again

Waking before you I’m like the lord who sees his love though we don’t know
Seems like a long, long time since I’ve been above you seen and loved you so

You pick a place that’s where I’ll be
Time like your cheek has turned for me

Focus on the Family Action’s
2008 Christmas-Friendly Shopping Guide.

“Retailers will be presented with petitions — thanking those that embrace “Christmas,” and alerting those that have purged or marginalized “Christmas” that you object to the secularization of Christmas. We hope you will “stand for Christmas” with us and encourage the continued acknowledgement of this historic Christian observance in our culture.”

Wow–devotion through marketing. That’ll bring the secular crowd back.

Coming to a store near you: chainless bicycles.

While I hate to see anyone lose their jobs, I must admit I was happy to see that Congress has denied American automakers’ plea for a bailout. And it’s not just because the CEOs flew to DC in luxury jets. It’s because the companies have ignored clear warnings that gas guzzlers were on the way out years ago. They capitalized on American consumer largesse and made the nation think it needed big expensive trucks like the Hummer.

In other words, GM and company created this mess and they should be responsible for its collapse. When you continue to produce pointlessly enormous trucks when the country is at war in the Mideast, where we get 90% of our oil from, you deserve to lose. When you consciously disregard the growing preferences for smaller, fuel-efficient cars, you deserve to lose. And that is what is happening.
