Count Chocula and a joke


A bit of levity thrown into our political discussions

My favorite professor at Biola, John Mark Reynolds, is fond of comparing John Kerry to Count Chocula, the breakfast cereal character. On Frank Pastore's radio show he said, "If it looks like Count Chocula, and it votes like Count Chocula, it probably wants to suck your blood" Now I thought this was just a silly little joke, and in some ways disagree with even saying it because Kerry is scary for so many real reasons that there is no point in making fun of his appearance. But today my wife sent me a pic of the Count, and I busted up laughing because it really DOES look like him.

Submitted for your consideration:



And to continue our brief bit of levity and political humor, here's a joke I received via email:

The Pope [Ed: Bishop of Rome, for all you good Lutherans] is visiting Washington, DC, and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac...sailing on the presidential yacht, the Sequoia.

They're admiring the sights when all of a sudden the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.

The Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but Bush waves them off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."

Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over and picks it up, then walks back across the water to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

The next morning, the topic of conversation among Democrats on the Hill and celebrities in Hollywood, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, the headlines emblazoned on the New York Times,, and in France and Germany (heck even Michael Moore has started a new film) is:


"BUSH CAN'T SWIM!"
