I was just at CVS buying a Mother's Day card, and someone had left this pamphlet in the card stacks. The front had a picture of a little red-headed, freckled boy (I think he may have been in a Cub Scout uniform) singing, in front of an American flag. The inside told a bit about Irving Berlin's life, and went on about how most of us have the blessing of being born in this country, while some others have to come here to get the freedom they can't have in their native countries. And that Irving Berlin wrote "God Bless America" to express his profound thanks to the Creator for giving him the blessing of liberty in America. And how we should all follow Irving Berlin's example and thank Christ for the blessing of American freedom.

Just a slight problem with that argument, there.

Sorry about that, Stephanie! Never listen to me on the subject of times and dates.

Bwah.

What. Fucking. Morons.

Huh. Yeah, that's.... Huh.

And how we should all follow Irving Berlin's example and thank Christ for the blessing of American freedom.

The back had a little form to fill out and sent in to some church (I don't remember which one) with an "I have accepted Christ. Please send me more information about your church" checkbox.

Could you just add to it so it says, "I have accepted Christ just like Irving Berlin did"? You know, accepted that Christians exist in the world.

bwah!

Jesse, you're the snarkiest PK, ever.

The only snark that could ever move me
Was the snark of a preacher's kid...
