I want the presidency so bad I can already taste the hors d'oeuvres.

I Pledge Allegiance
Recently I was reminiscing about grade school and that old ritual, the Pledge of Allegiance. What I was thinking was, "do they still make kids recite that?" I remember sometime around age 12 or 13 I started actually thinking about what I was saying as I held my hand on my heart. Eventually I stopped reciting it, thinking that I didn't want to be held liable for what I was pledging. I didn't know if I could really commit to all that. And I remember teachers always giving me a hard time about it, as though they thought I was a communist or something. Well, when I thought about this the other day I thought "they couldn't possibly still be forcing kids to say that nowadays. It's so politically incorrect." Don't misunderstand me -- I say that in mockery. I'm just amazed that the PC-people haven't made a stink about it. Well, apparently they have. See for yourself. Evidently it's the bit about "under God" that's got everyone's knickers in a twist. God forbid!

I THINK THEY REALLY SHOULD HAVE TRIED TO ELIMINATE GOD'S NAME FROM MONEY FIRST, AND CHANGE IT FROM IN GOD WE TRUST TO "IN GREED WE LUST" I DONT THINK GOD WOULD APPRECIATE HIS NAME BEING ON MONEY. AS FAR AS THE PLEDGE GOES IT COULD SAY ONE NATION UNDER MC DONALDS EXTRA SALTY WITH KETCHUP AND BBQ SAUCE FOR ALL I CARE. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY BUT HARDLY THINK THE PLEDGE WILL AFFECT MY KIDS.
