Okay, this one has started to make the rounds, but I couldn’t resist posting it here. From the good folks at Despair.com:

Blogging: Never before have so many people with so
little to say said so much to so few.

Aaah, Despair.com. You’ve just got to love a company with slogans like “The Relentless Pursuit of Dejection” and “Increasing Success by Lowering Expectations.”

Update: There was some thoughtful concern expressed that I might be questioning the value of blogging with this post. If you share that concern, please read the comments below!

Here are some examples of putting the cart before the horse this political season. I’ve got two examples from Barack Obama and one from John McCain.

• Obama’s Presidential Seal: Sen. Obama unveiled this Presidential Seal at a round-table discussion with Democratic governors on June 20, 2008. The seal was dropped from campaign use several days later.

• Obama’s Presidential Coin: A Birmingham company is minting presidential coins for Sen. Obama. They have already sold more than 300 limited edition coins to the Democratic Party to hand out to key members of the campaign to elect Obama. (HT: Don Surber)

  

• McCain’s Early Debate Ad: Hey, there’s nothing wrong with either candidate declaring victory in the debate. But Sen. McCain ran this ad in the Wall Street Journal online Friday morning before the debate even took place. You can see a screen shot of the ad in the WSJ here. (HT: Museum of Hoaxes)

Yesterday’s post, A Visit to the Dentist, reminded me of a hilarious story C.J. Mahaney told at the 1999 Desiring God Pastors Conference about going to the dentist. C.J. is always funny, but he was in rare form here. Here is the clip:

I don’t usually begin my sermons with a joke, but last Sunday I did. Here it is in case you missed it.

There were two brothers, ages 8 and 10, who were getting into a lot of trouble. Their mother brought them to see the pastor to see if he could help straighten them out. The pastor talked with the younger brother first. He looked at the young boy and asked him, “Where is God?” The boy’s eyes opened wide, but he didn’t answer, so the pastor asked again, more forcefully this time, “Young man, where is God?” The boy began to squirm in his seat, so the pastor asked yet another time in a very loud voice, “Young man, answer me, where is God?” At that, the boy leaped out of his seat and ran out the door right past his brother who was waiting to go in next. The older brother chased him down and asked him, “What’s the matter?” To which the younger brother replied, “We’re in big trouble this time. God is missing, and they think WE did it!”

From the sermon: Losing God in Religion – 1 Samuel 4:1-22 (The ark’s capture)

1. I xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra xerox machine.
2. I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.
3. Sponges grow in the ocean. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn’t happen.
4. I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I’m gone.
5. I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.
6. For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier … I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.
7. I didn’t get a toy train like the other kids. I got a toy subway instead. You couldn’t see anything, but every now and then you’d hear this rumbling noise go by.
8. When I was little, my grandfather used to make me stand in a closet for five minutes without moving. He said it was elevator practice.
9. They say we’re 98% water. We’re that close to drowning. (Takes a drink from a glass of water.) I like to live on the edge.
10. I bought some powdered water, but I don’t know what to add to it.
