What Would Jesus Do?

One thing I never really understood about the Republican Party is the marriage of rich and religious. It seems that the two are kind of contradictory. Not necessarily that rich people can't be religious or even good people for that matter but policies favoring the rich - cutting the top 1%'s taxes - are not good for the poor.

Here's my ultra short version of The Bible, it's in two parts:

Part I - Don't worship other Gods

Part II - Be nice to poor people

In very broad strokes, that about sums it up. So since pretty much no one in America is polyeithistic, you'd the democrats would get religious vote because they are nicer to poor people.

Instead of WWJD, let's play HWJFATCDPCS - How Would Jesus Feel About These Current Day Political Controversial Subjects. OK, so:

• Abortion: I think it's safe to say that Jesus would be pro-life.
• Death Penalty: Probably safe to say anti-death-penaly.
• Gay Marriage: I think Jesus would be pro-gay marriage, I don't think he even discusses homosexuality in The Bible. Jesus was more laid back and cool than religious nuts.
• The War in Iraq: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....ixney on the arwey

Incidentally, The Bible skips like 10 years of Jesus' life...do you think he ever like got drunk or liked a girl (or dare I say kissed a girl)? What if you were Jesus' first kiss? I wonder if chicks liked him, I mean he was mad charismatic. Is this sacrilegious to say?

Haiku for Friday

When I poop at work
I hate when someone has peed
On the toilet seat

Eliot for Governor!

One thing I never get is why politicians just let it go when the MTA is clearly ripping the public off. If there is one thing New Yorkers will agree on it's that Carlos Beltran is overpaid...I mean it's that the MTA sucks.

Eliot Spitzer in today's Daily News:

"I'm very hesitant about what they're doing," Spitzer said yesterday when I asked about the transit agency's scheme to get into the real estate business. "Their track record doesn't inspire confidence. They can't build a tepee without having cost overruns."

I think he just got my vote.

D'oh!

I had a meeting today with a client so I figured I'd wear a suit.

I didn't fall asleep until like 1:30 AM, so I was pretty out of it this morning when I got dressed.

On the train I realized that my jacket and pants didn't match. Oops.

It didn't really matter because I just didn't wear the jacket or tie and the office I was going to was business casual anyway, as it turns out.

Still, that was pretty dumb of me.

Diet Coke

Growing up I only drank regular soda. Never diet, I hated the way it tasted. In fact, I think Jerry and I once made a pact to kill one another if they started drinking Diet Coke.
Now, however, I actually prefer it to regular coke. I worked at a bar right after college and I could have anything I wanted from the soft drink fountains and I'd drink like 12 pints of coke a day. I got kind of sick of it. Then at this place I used to work, Latiff & Associates, they only stocked the fridge with diet coke.
Now I only drink Diet Coke. Or diet anything for that matter - Pepsi, Sprite, etc. Caffeine free, though, still tastes disgusting.
