Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Sang Hakim - The Judge by Steve Martini Obama Controversies. Love him or hate him, it cannot be denied that Barack Obama is one of the most controversial Presidents the United States has ever had. I started this list some time ago and wanted to write a more thorough treatment of each, but I have far too many other things to do for that. Some are true, most are reportedly bogus, and all can be found easily on the Internet. Controversies. First African-American President Citizenship / birth certificate / birther theory Campaign rally fainting incidents 57 States (c.f. Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) Bible irrelevancy (c.f. Call to Renewal speech, Dobson) Sworn in with no Bible / with hand on Quran Jeremiah Wright (c.f. Liberation Theology, Black Lib Theology, James Cone) American flag lapel pin Socialism / Communism Hand over heart during National Anthem / Pledge of Allegiance Michelle’s “All this for a **** flag” comment Negotiating with terrorists USA “no longer a Christian nation” National Day of Prayer cancellation (so not to offend people) Muslim Day of Prayer upheld (so as not to offend Muslims) Bows to Saudi King Michelle hugs the Queen of England Is a demon, smells of sulfur (c.f. Alex Jones) Sites. Great Bumperstickers. The following is a list of sayings that I have either found on bumperstickers or think would make for good ones. General. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Human Nature. Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once. To err is human. To blame it on someone else shows management potential. Good things come to those who wait, but bad things show up right away. You have a point … but if you wore a hat, no one would notice. I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong. Political. The Opposite of Progress is Congress. God will judge Bin Laden. Army Rangers will set up the meeting. He ain’t Kinky, he’s my Governor. [Kinky Friedman gubernatorial campaign, 2006, Texas] My Governor is a Jewish Cowboy [Kinky Friedman gubernatorial campaign, 2006, Texas; response to pro-Jesus ‘My Boss Is A Jewish Carpenter’ sticker] Military. USMC: When It Absolutely, Positively Has To Be Destroyed Overnight. Geeky. Products of Berkeley U: LSD and BSD. Coincidence? [adapted from quote attributed to Jeremy S. Anderson] Yes, I use Linux. So SU Me. [pun on Unix ‘superuser’ command and reference to Microsoft’s litigious nature] My other computer is a Tandem NSK [spoof of the ever-popular ‘My other car is a _____’ sticker, but intended for use on laptops] If you’re not part of the solution, then you’re part of the precipitate. [science redirection] Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script. WordPress User Guidance. Since I seem to be using it fairly heavily these days, it struck me as a good idea to have a list of resources handy that explain how to use WordPress. I hope to avoid those nasty Catch-22 situations using the power of Google of course. Resources. Notes & Tips. Here is the how-to on posting by e-mail, including the ever-important short codes. Thanks to this post in the WordPress.com forum, I now know that the Category ID number must be used to exclude Categories from the Category Cloud widget. Great Books. The title for this list is overly-simplistic. It should read “Books I’ve Read, Mostly Novels, Probably Not Read Actually But Listened To On Audiobook, Most Of Which Were Checked Out At The Library, For Which I Want To Keep A Running Tally”…but that would be too long. Titles struck indicate the books I’ve already “read”.
