In a sternly-worded fatwa issued in Mecca earlier this week, seven Wahhabi Imams affiliated with the House of Saud excommunicated the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) operative known to the rest of the world as "Jihadi John". In recent months, the operative, Jihadi John, has been captured on video decapitating media correspondents and aid workers of American and British origins.<br />
<br />
The fatwa, issued by the top echelon of Riyali Mullahs, claims that Jihadi John is an apostate because he has misconstrued the word, "beheading", owing to a spelling error in the prophet Muhammad's original teachings, the Hadith. According to the Hadith, the captors of infidels should engage in a proselytizing procedure, termed, "behealing." The Mullahs argue that Jihadi John should be converting their prisoners to Islam, forcibly or otherwise, for the "behealing", and not beheading them.<br />
<br />
The spokesman for the House of Saud, the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia, has refused to comment on the fatwa. Mohammed ibn Tuglaq, a faculty member in the Department of Arabic Studies at the University of Riyadh, said that the royal family rarely "disagrees publicly with Riyali Mullahs" and is likely to support the fatwa." It also shows that Jihadi John does not understand the key nuances in Arabic words," said Tuglaq.<br />

In a move that has surprised religious scholars worldwide, a prominent conservative Jewish organization, Moses' Only Jewish Offspring (MOJO), have joined hands with a hardline Muslim organization to ensure that the Middle East is free of dogs. Azhar bin Mehrab, a spokesman for the Saudi-based organization, Mujahedins Under Muhammad (MUM), confirmed that MUM had "preliminary discussions" on how to unite with the Jews who believe that the Middle-East should be rid of dogs.<br />
<br />
"Dogs are dirty animals," said bin Mehrab. "Their saliva is full of bacteria, they sniff other dog's anuses and carry rabies, and our God does not like them. You can find it in our hadiths that dogs annoyed our Prophet, praise be upon him, and they are a nuisance to this day." According to bin Mehrab, MUM was happy to collaborate with MOJO to "remove" all dogs from the Middle East. <br />
<br />
Noah Weinstein, public relations director of MOJO, affirmed that the dogs are considered impure animals in the Jewish tradition. "We have the support of the rabbinical court to unite with the Muslims on the matter of dogs," said Weinstein. He added that MOJO was planning on a three-day conference on the topic of dog eradication in collaboration with MUM. "We are extending an invitation to Benjamin Netanyahu to be our keynote speaker," said Weinstein. "Bibi is a stalwart of conservative Jews like us."<br />
<br />
This move towards unity against dogs has caught many religious scholars off guard. Erdal Tarek, head of the Theology department at Istanbul Congressional University (ICU), noted that such religious alliances between conservative Jewish and Muslim groups is "rare".<br />
<br />
"This unity among the Jews and Muslims will rid us of the dog days of religious intolerance,"said Tarek.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-34319052824939832922011-02-27T22:22:00.000-08:002011-05-29T18:29:19.040-07:00Proverbial Chutney<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie3G-q03-18SPTe78OGCRT7LyuZy2kSJjzaWoZ45WtfYfuMxWgk7TZadLbRZzhP8vM8rKo94nJefDTXEGmUqP3vCOmP91t4n0-xGhmL0ajTYbxsIdu3QSJ_nEZ_iXR_3-t09OWU6AY4wU/s1600/fullPanel1270.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="253" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579358016867764018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie3G-q03-18SPTe78OGCRT7LyuZy2kSJjzaWoZ45WtfYfuMxWgk7TZadLbRZzhP8vM8rKo94nJefDTXEGmUqP3vCOmP91t4n0-xGhmL0ajTYbxsIdu3QSJ_nEZ_iXR_3-t09OWU6AY4wU/s640/fullPanel1270.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;" width="640" /></a><br />

Sources close to the Church of Second Coming, the official international institution that negotiated Christ's return to Earth, say that IDF would not reveal the exact location in Israel where Christ is being held.<br /><br />"He fit the exact profile of a Middle-Eastern terrorist," said Levi Benin, a spokesman for the IDF in Tel Aviv. "He was dark-haired, dark-eyed, and wore loose white clothing...like an Arab." Benin added that Christ also spoke in a foreign dialect which raised concern among the security officers that Christ was an "Arab acting suspiciously." The IDF reiterated that they have a "zero-tolerance policy for suspicious Arabs" at all Israeli airports.<br /><br />In a bid to negotiate Christ's release, Xavier Don-Quie', Head of the global parish of the Church of Second Coming, has flown to Tel Aviv. But he admitted that it could be a case of mistaken identity. "Christ, as we all know from European paintings, is blonde and blue-eyed," said Donquie. "However, I am going to find out for myself, through extensive testing, if this is the real Christ or an imposter."<br /><br />Don-Quie' noted that the tests that he has for the Jesus in custody are "standard" in the Christian lexicon - walk on water, turn water into wine, recreate virgin birth, revive the dead in Tel Aviv morgue, and simulate a resurrection. "If he passes every test," said Don-Quie',"I shall know that this is Christ, our Lord."</span></span></span></span></span> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span><span><span style="font-size: 9pt"><span style="font-style: normal"><span style="font-weight: normal"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span><span><span style="font-size: 9pt"><span style="font-style: normal"><span style="font-weight: normal"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 2; orphans: 2"><span><span><span style="font-size: 9pt"><span style="font-style: normal"><span style="font-weight: normal"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-2968484746648446912011-01-08T16:33:00.000-08:002011-01-08T16:52:34.147-08:00Top U.S. Report Reveals White, Conservative, Christian Male as "American Terrorist"The latest report on the terrorism in the U.S. by the Council for Investigation of Terrorism in the U.S. (COITUS) revealed a profile of the demographic most likely to engage in terrorist activities in the U.S. -- the conservative, Christian, white male. The profile, which was gathered over six decades, revealed a demographic of individuals most likely to terrorize innocent Americans.<br /><br />"Due to the coverage seen in mainstream media, such as Fox News, most Americans think that the Muslim youth are perpetrators of terrorist acts in the US, " said Andy Leipzig, data analyst at COITUS. "But, over the course of decades, our statistics show that terrorism in the U.S. is overwhelmingly perpetrated by white, Christian, conservative males." Leipzig added that some of the data revealed that Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party are instigators of violence and terrorism, but the report falls short of calling it a statistic. "We noted instances of terrorist rhetoric in the words of Beck, Palin, and the Tea Party, but we need a much larger data set to establish it as a trend or pattern," noted Leipzig.<br /><br />To support the results of the report, COITUS released images of some of the American males involved in terrorism activities resulting in the loss of innocent Americans. The individuals in the images included Oklahoma bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh, Tucson attacker Jared Lee Loughner, and KKK minister Edgar Ray Killen.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI-H3k9o_Hf_B6v43dUbgAGCBdhlL2Z9RCR2imjR56YGjMCWsluFN2JHHHWRs-b6O0NY2m9rH_S_cSD_2DAYM5zNKdTpTC_kLJSwb2F-OZ9xJDG0dUPXz45hoKpTX0zhNEWZ7ccQ5kq_4/s1600/terrorist.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI-H3k9o_Hf_B6v43dUbgAGCBdhlL2Z9RCR2imjR56YGjMCWsluFN2JHHHWRs-b6O0NY2m9rH_S_cSD_2DAYM5zNKdTpTC_kLJSwb2F-OZ9xJDG0dUPXz45hoKpTX0zhNEWZ7ccQ5kq_4/s400/terrorist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559982298143822258" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Neville Holes, a spokesman for the Portland Tea Party Rally Organizers (POTPRO) dismissed the COITUS report as "claptrap" and argued for a vindication of Palin's involvement in the Tucson shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

"The comments by Palin and Gingrich compel us to change the racial profiles of terrorists to include Caucasian males with blonde hair."<br /><br />Earlier this week, Fox News announced that it would release the new profile on its prime-time programming, a move that is expected to be "extremely controversial", according to Wertru.<br /><br />"The majority of American are conditioned to seeing dark-haired, Middle-Eastern Muslims as terrorists, not blonde-haired, Caucasians," remarked Wertru. "But, Fox News is the most objective news agency and thanks to the comments of Palin and Gingrich, we have to report what we see as a new development."<br /><br />Wertru argued that as a result of the new terrorist profile released by Fox News, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will profile blonde-haired Caucasians as enemy combatants and terrorists at all U.S. airports.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-77966293156753112042010-07-24T12:30:00.000-07:002010-07-24T12:35:04.524-07:00Proverbial Chutney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRh3vEXqtBaxAjWI3IQY0ZfvWaHYLdhW7pvRQ20-AF-U9UrUKqem3K9Qb7Kl9_pAZW6jl0vOzpEaHpXvcTQU4mEe2uMYY5UlZ_f0F4_ejM1j3wAp4aiEwZc2nEF90DzQ633vaoVfRiGMg/s1600/1000pxforWeb.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRh3vEXqtBaxAjWI3IQY0ZfvWaHYLdhW7pvRQ20-AF-U9UrUKqem3K9Qb7Kl9_pAZW6jl0vOzpEaHpXvcTQU4mEe2uMYY5UlZ_f0F4_ejM1j3wAp4aiEwZc2nEF90DzQ633vaoVfRiGMg/s400/1000pxforWeb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497558540024210130" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-22192029310253451292010-07-24T12:27:00.000-07:002010-07-24T12:30:46.029-07:00Religious Party Convention in India Gets an Almighty Appearance<span style="font-style: italic;">An Indian Roller Exclusive</span><br /><br />A party convention in Mumbai organized by Shiv Sena, a right-wing Hindu party got a surprise visit from Lord Shiva, one of the principal Gods in the Hindu Trinity. The visit, on the third day of the convention, coincided with the birthday of the party's supremo, Bal Thackeray.<br /><br />"It was a sign from the heavens," noted Kedar Apte, chief organizer of the convention. "The presence of Lord Shiva proves that we are the legitimate party of God. No other God has visited a party convention in the history of political parties in India."<br /><br />According to sources, Lord Shiva spoke to the attendees for nearly an hour in a sing-song dialect of Prakrit, an ancient language of India. Only a few scholars in the congregation could decipher the dialect message and the same scholars were then ordered by the party high command to interpret Shiva's discourse for the gathering. Some in the audience lamented Lord Shiva's scant comprehension of modern-day Hindi or English.<br /><br />"I understand Prakrit and Lord Shiva's message was perfectly clear," said Malini Shetty, one of scholars at the convention. "Hinduism is the number-one religion as long as we practice tolerance." Shetty also noted that Lord Shiva stressed upon the repatriation of the renowned artist, M.F.Hussain, whose relationship with Shiv Sena was estranged after he painted pictures of Hindu goddesses in varying degrees of nudity.<br /><br />According to other scholars who were also attending, Lord Shiva reminded the congregation that many artists in ancient India painted and sculpted Shiva and his consort, Parvati, in sexually suggestive positions. "That's the beauty and latitude of art," said Nalini Pai, quoting Lord Shiva. "The nudity depicted in the reliefs of Shiva and Parvati in Khajuraho and other ancient temples in India is considered high art today and as well as regarded as priceless relics of our heritage."<br /><br />A spokesperson for the Rationalist/Atheists of Indian Truth Adherents (RAITA) has denounced the reports of Shiva's visitation as "utter hokum." <br /><br />The artist, M.F. Hussain, who is in a self-imposed exile in Qatar, could not be reached for comment.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-83454982843890076722010-05-16T16:06:00.001-07:002010-05-16T16:08:14.475-07:00Proverbial Chutney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhznj3nADwZ1fgNSDADfzUZvSXzwvok6m4gQyJFrga43DZGUggySvJZ5nUuoXBEYbZxnmLDanI0TM0jvVfd6uNO2tSI5dbeK3J2TaIKFlIoLZiuf802u3stu4NWxoJhCsOPXxcB0zlfKm8/s1600/slumLordMillionaire800.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhznj3nADwZ1fgNSDADfzUZvSXzwvok6m4gQyJFrga43DZGUggySvJZ5nUuoXBEYbZxnmLDanI0TM0jvVfd6uNO2tSI5dbeK3J2TaIKFlIoLZiuf802u3stu4NWxoJhCsOPXxcB0zlfKm8/s400/slumLordMillionaire800.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472008563712318066" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-73112654832921270972010-05-16T16:02:00.000-07:002010-05-16T16:06:35.860-07:00Catholic Diocese in India Creates a Retreat for Convicted Priests<span style="font-style: italic;">An Indian Roller exclusive...</span><br />A Catholic diocese in a rural town of eastern India has set the stage for a safe haven for priests convicted of paedophilia and other sexual abuses. Gurmu, a town with a population of nearly 200,000, boasts the largest concentration of Catholics per square kilometre in the world and the town hall recently voted the creation of the retreat for convicted priests. Earlier this year, the diocese, whose religious views are protected by arcane, nineteenth-century laws, announced that it was extending the invitations to all Catholic priests convicted worldwide.<br /> <br />"We all need to do God's work without distractions," said Father Augustine Ekka, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Gurmu. "We are providing a place to retool and rediscover our missionary potential." Father Ekka, who has been to the Vatican twice on official invitation, said that the idea came to him after he met with the Pope Benedict XVI in June 2009. "The Pope has his hands full of convicted paedophiles," noted Ekka,"and I just couldn't bear to watch our fearless leader suffer."<br /><br />The plan to reinstate convicted priests was recently voted into effect by the Town Hall Committee of Gurmu. "We welcome the international attention that this is going to bring to our town," said Lionel Barla, a local councilman. "Gurmu is the destination for everyone who deserves a second chance and these convicted priests do. There is a rumour that noted Irish priest, Bill Carney, will be one of first to accept our invitation...it is exciting."<br /><br />Bill Carney, a convicted priest of the Dublin archdiocese, refused to comment on his forthcoming travel plans to India.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-80509418369736427382010-04-11T21:54:00.000-07:002010-04-11T21:57:47.551-07:00Proverbial Chutney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiej4KhVL-RTuIzlF8bTVNxBbZAZVjd-i8Ch4HclyvMrENm5dVSod4QT1oz2Y5TZ2aULropRrxUQ-cJo2ycESvBnU9ZLnUgTFGPqoDJ4wqLc1GT2ckxzvnB9o9CCX5-BFrb_FgCNVdk57c/s1600/straightSnake800.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiej4KhVL-RTuIzlF8bTVNxBbZAZVjd-i8Ch4HclyvMrENm5dVSod4QT1oz2Y5TZ2aULropRrxUQ-cJo2ycESvBnU9ZLnUgTFGPqoDJ4wqLc1GT2ckxzvnB9o9CCX5-BFrb_FgCNVdk57c/s400/straightSnake800.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459110430162610370" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Dude, 'straight' is <span style="font-style: italic;">so</span> in."</span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-75613133890957034632010-04-11T21:53:00.000-07:002010-04-11T21:54:32.459-07:00Easter Hunt Reveals Christ's Coming to America<span style="font-style: italic;">An Indian Roller Exclusive...</span><br /><br />A farming community in Christobal, Arizona claims that it discovered the body of Jesus Christ during a childrens' Easter hunt. Three children found the body with Easter eggs strewn nearby in a wooded area of Christobal. The local farmers contacted the Knights of Arizona (KOA), a local militia with jurisdiction over Christobal, and Rupert Novarro, Supreme Father of KOA, confirmed that the body of indeed that of the prophet.<br /><br />"This body is that of middle-aged, blue-eyed, Caucasian in his mid-thirties,"said Novarro,"and it proves that Jesus Christ came to America." He and KOA affiliates are working round the clock to create an open casket to house the prophet's remains in the Grand Auditorium at Christobal. "I am expecting millions of Christian faithfuls to flock this town in a matter of days,"adds Novarro.<br /><br />Prominent Christian organizations in the U.S. and Europe have rejected Novarro's claims and some have labeled KOA's activities as "blasphemous." Darrin Cole, the head of Christian Activists Caucus (CAC), based in Maryland, argued that Novarro and KOA should be "censured" for their comments to the press. "We all know that Christ rose from the dead and ascended to the Heavens," said Novarro, "it's an undisputed fact." Cole added that there would be no possibility of any body or remains of Christ "lying around" in a wooded area.<br /><br />Novarro dismisses all the criticism of him and KOA as "kooky talk."<br /><br />"We are about to change the course of Christianity," stated Novarro, "If people doubt us, we invite them to Christobal to see for themselves what we have discovered...it is a revelation!"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-35578399617390659952010-02-21T00:26:00.001-08:002010-02-21T00:27:50.652-08:00Proverbial Chutney...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcV6uMURPF_H5Fic2n6rw3Oo7CvwtZm2XrVRNvdba1GVez3-WKbBHnMBcDfoT0qfFUmStHw2h-j2tdIn6wt1eSs33rGJOMxkmZAwMMSBNXGidocbatHcWVZpmiyNj27UV5p4cdT1ntAIA/s1600-h/buffaloWings1280x1024.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcV6uMURPF_H5Fic2n6rw3Oo7CvwtZm2XrVRNvdba1GVez3-WKbBHnMBcDfoT0qfFUmStHw2h-j2tdIn6wt1eSs33rGJOMxkmZAwMMSBNXGidocbatHcWVZpmiyNj27UV5p4cdT1ntAIA/s400/buffaloWings1280x1024.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440610386248438834" /></a><br /><div><b>"Welcome... to the home of the original buffalo wings!"</b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-64723837672162846922010-02-21T00:24:00.000-08:002010-02-21T00:25:50.367-08:00Austin Suicide Attacker Hailed as Hero by Tea Party Activists<div><i>An Indian Roller Exclusive...</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Andrew Joseph Stack, the terrorist who flew his plane into an IRS office in Austin, is being hailed as a hero and a patriot by members of the Tea Party movement in parts of Alaska.

Festivus is a secular holiday created by writer Dan O'Keefe and popularized by his son, Daniel O'Keefe, a screenwriter for the hit TV show, Seinfeld.<br /><br />Sharpner, who grew up in a Christian household in Darwin, California, moved to Arkansas nearly nine years ago to set up a store that featured products from local suppliers in Arkansas and neighboring states of Mississippi and Tennessee. "It's entirely a coincidence," said Sharpner,"but I happen to have a diverse demographic of religious denominations who are either my employees, my vendors, or my customers. I also have Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and a few atheists who work here in permanent- or temporary-capacity. We have several global religions under one roof, right here."<br /><br />As she looked around at other stores in Bedford, Sharpner admits that she was "shocked" to find that most stores observed only Christmas as part of the holiday festivities. "I thought it was very parochial and un-Christian to appropriate the holidays for one faith only,"said Sharpner. "Since I strongly felt that a change was in the air, I started with my workplace and talked to my employees." Sharpner says that she was "simply amazed" to find out that a majority of her staff felt especially alienated during the holidays.<br /><br />"The holidays are supposed to bring everyone together, not just Christians." said Sharpner, adding that she put up the holiday celebrations at her store up for a vote."The majority of employees voted for Festivus because it was the most secular festival of all." Sharpner admits that she was "especially gratified" that her employees voted for a secular celebration.<br /><br />"The United States is a secular nation,"noted Sharpner,"and it warms my heart that my employees are aware of our nation's founding principles and believe in sharing the holidays with people of all creeds. And an aluminum pole is the only accoutrement needed for the festivities. Now that's recyclable, green, and earth-friendly."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-32079998417751563752009-12-25T01:56:00.000-08:002009-12-25T01:58:41.668-08:00Proverbial Chutney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvd8lTnAwOXxORF0dpOyF0EpWvpK1bj29yviUuZOV-pZGiApElrm0r9a-_YkhQ3JDq36zsQilJpU8GLcmp4OaIzjrh8LmHO83pguN1WP7gKYxysuDM2StsTSvY-eoMQX-WXs27xqg_1Xw/s1600-h/jesusDrink800forWeb.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvd8lTnAwOXxORF0dpOyF0EpWvpK1bj29yviUuZOV-pZGiApElrm0r9a-_YkhQ3JDq36zsQilJpU8GLcmp4OaIzjrh8LmHO83pguN1WP7gKYxysuDM2StsTSvY-eoMQX-WXs27xqg_1Xw/s400/jesusDrink800forWeb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419110976775012722" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"It's your Birthday...you drink for free..."</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-59961336589346346822009-12-25T01:52:00.000-08:002009-12-25T01:56:42.194-08:00Utah Group Stages John Wayne Redux to Protect Tech Jobs<span style="font-style: italic;">An Indian Roller DUN exclusive...</span><br />An activist group from Salt Lake City, Utah, wants to revive the Hollywood persona of John Wayne from his Western-genre movies. The group, Duke in Person (DIP), hopes to embrace Wayne's on-screen persona to help stave off outsourcing of American technology jobs to India. Wayne's popular moniker was "Duke", a reference to his pet dog from his childhood days in Southern California.<br /><br />Members of DIP, who are also called "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dippies</span>" in Salt Lake City area, mainly due to their John Wayne inspired swagger and diction, use a combination of braggadocio and sensationalism to drive home their message. Ranee Fox, the President of DIP, articulated the cause of his group: "Just like the Duke stood up against the Indians in our pioneering days, we need to stand up against the loss of tech jobs to Indians."<br /><br />Fox argues that most Americans feel helpless against the spate of tech jobs moving from the U.S. to India. "You look at great pioneering cities like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Orem</span> and Provo where the software industry was once booming," said Fox, "But now, owing to Bangalore and Hyderabad, we have Indians taking over jobs that rightfully belongs here. We need a leader of the Duke's caliber to preserve what is ours."<br /><br />Arguing that Indian were holding on to jobs that Americans deserve, DIPS Charter Secretary Marl Monody pointed to a 1971 Playboy interview in which Wayne was quoted as having said that "There were great numbers of people who needed new land the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." Drawing a parallel with recent U.S. and its annexation of lands belonging to Indians, Monody said that DIPS is asking for something similar. "We want the jobs that the Indians are selfishly keeping for themselves and if we have to annex their companies, so be it," said Monody. "I think the Duke would agree with us."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-62890164133403468022009-12-15T00:05:00.000-08:002009-12-15T00:11:37.806-08:00Proverbial Chutney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnzpSzk4eJvMdc82oz2hiwn4GPw3DdRpdE046KKYU0rGgp8RBnclVhWaBVcvfDpGfwKm1rsD4opDSxFP3FFERzxZY6M3BCjms2nta-x5aWVVnUD0JKSk5GTXWeAc4j5QORoQWxMHDoCo/s1600-h/72dpiforWeb.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnzpSzk4eJvMdc82oz2hiwn4GPw3DdRpdE046KKYU0rGgp8RBnclVhWaBVcvfDpGfwKm1rsD4opDSxFP3FFERzxZY6M3BCjms2nta-x5aWVVnUD0JKSk5GTXWeAc4j5QORoQWxMHDoCo/s400/72dpiforWeb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415372314291224690" border="0" /></a><br />"<span style="font-weight: bold;">That little bit of spirit should uncork your emotions</span>."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-28015066713473821892009-12-15T00:03:00.000-08:002009-12-15T00:05:15.129-08:00Religion and Real Estate Vie to Get Closer to God==<span style="font-style: italic;">An Indian Roller Consider it DUN exclusive</span>==<br /><br />With real estate prices taking a plunge in Dubai, a Sunni group with ties to the Saudi Royal family has been lobbying to buy the top floor of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Burj</span> in Dubai at an undisclosed bargain price.

The Church of Christian Knights (COCK), whose followers believe in a strict, literal interpretation of the Holy Bible, argue that the turkey did not feature as an edible bird in the Bible. "If God wanted us to eat turkey," said Tam Boding, wife of Rev. Boding, the head of COCK, "He would have put a turkey on the table for Jesus and his disciples and he did not. That says something about the bird." The church strongly believes that the only meat items featured in the original Thanksgiving dinner of 1621 were venison and wild fowl.<br /><br />Most members of COCK, who are also against miscegenation of races, believe that modern retelling of the original Thanksgiving, is apocryphal. "The pilgrims were pure Christians who were chosen by the Lord to start a new world," said Tony Whiles, secretary of COCK,"and I don't believe they would be without food or shelter as the modern stories portray their predicament. If they needed help, they didn't need no Indians...God was right there to help them." Whiles argues that the stories of the Pilgrims having dinner with Native-American Indians is "pure fiction" and a figment of modern-day political correctness.<br /><br />"Segregation was solidly in place under God's law in the United States until the Civil War,"noted Whiles,"and for the Pilgrims, our Christian forefathers, to sit down at a holy meal with non-believers of color is totally out of character. How would you even say grace at a meal where heathens are the meal providers?"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334787235050348315.post-68307959035614894512009-11-22T23:46:00.001-08:002009-11-22T23:48:13.487-08:00Proverbial Chutney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8R2Mx7R9NdHCkjBHrVRMDqQfSJGLN7LjmVRJPbIllhawreH3Lsv6tsdvKDVIV3BOywHDLzYb29Z8s1HE8ymqwKLw42dzrwIExZ1zhdgPncVzznmrV__V53qw4qjVH2NhcCQC4a-s_yh0/s1600/batteryforWeb800.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8R2Mx7R9NdHCkjBHrVRMDqQfSJGLN7LjmVRJPbIllhawreH3Lsv6tsdvKDVIV3BOywHDLzYb29Z8s1HE8ymqwKLw42dzrwIExZ1zhdgPncVzznmrV__V53qw4qjVH2NhcCQC4a-s_yh0/s400/batteryforWeb800.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407202433100186018" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Does this battery pack make me look <span style="font-style: italic;">fat</span>?"</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
