"Oh Yeah? What do you call what you are going through RIGHT NOW?".
That may have been the funniest thing I've ever heard Lewis Black say.
Tom Cruise : Scientology :: Howard Dean : the Democratic party.
This is either immensely flattering to Scientology, or immensely insulting to the Democratic party. Either way, I'm not loving it.

Isn't it more a slam at Dean? There don't have to be parallels between the organisations, but more in the cited person's relationship to them.
OK, here's a question: Where did Hubbard get all his information? Was it divinely inspired? Told to him by angels? Presented to him on gold tablets? Because I don't see how someone could just claim to "know" all that stuff....
Thanks.
The more I read about Scientology, the more my mind boggles... I just can't understand how people can believe this....
I thought the analogy was clever, since I took it to mean that Dean's role is to raise money and the party profile. To in some ways act as the public face of the party.
For instance, the 1958 book Have You Lived Before This Life (ISBN 0884044475) documents past lives as described by individual Scientologists during auditing sessions. These included incidents such as being "deceived into a love affair with a robot decked out as a beautiful red-haired girl", being run over by a Martian bishop driving a steamroller, being transformed into an intergalactic walrus which perished after falling out of a flying saucer and being "a very happy being who strayed to the planet Nostra 23,064,000,000 years ago".
OK, that's it. I've oficially had it with those fucking Martian bishops and their steamrollers!
Intergalactic Walrus would be a great name for a band...

Think this is where Douglas Adams came up with the sperm whale?
