a dog-eared town

While I don’t normally like or link to much stuff by the huffpo, this piece on Obama’s true religion really hit’s the spot.

Buffeted by criticism of his controversial Christian pastor while continuing to quell rumors that he is a Muslim, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) took a bold step today to settle questions about his religious faith once and for all.

“I am converting to Judaism, effective immediately,” Mr. Obama told reporters at a press conference in Scarsdale, New York, adding that he would change his middle name from “Hussein” to “Murray.”

As a sign of commitment to his new faith, the Illinois Senator said that he anticipated being Bar Mitzvahed sometime between now and the crucial Pennsylvania primary and that he would no longer campaign on Saturdays.

And with his new change of religion, there will be a slight change with Barack Murray Obama’s campaign.

In a subtle sign of the shift in his religious affiliation, Mr. Obama’s signature catchphrase “Yes, we can,” was nowhere to be found in his speech, replaced instead by “L’Chaim.”

I think we can all agree, that’s funny stuff. I’ll have to keep an eye on Mr Borowitz’s writings because that’s funny, I don’t care who you are.
