Patriotism and the War in Iraq...

So, my mom's older brother (he turned 50 this year), my Uncle, is a pastor of a SBC church in Virginia. Before that he was in Georgia. He has his M.Div. from an SBC seminary. He's not as uptight as you would think. He loves beer and a good cigar. But my mother wonders why his emails provoke my ire. Below are the two forwards that I received today. One is an image, the other is supposedly a joke...uh, sure.



There are so many things wrong with this, that I'll let you guys make the comments.



Here is the joke that he thought the rest of us couldn't live without...

[Gotta get me one of these!]

I just got my new Lexus RX400h and returned to the dealer the next day,
complaining that I couldn't figure out how the radio worked. The
salesman
explained that the radio was voice activated. "Watch this!" he said.
"Nelson!"

The radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?"

"Willie!" he continued ... and "On The Road Again" came from the
speakers.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd
say,"Beethoven!" I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said,
"Beatles!"
I'd get one
of their awesome songs.

One day, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I
swerved just in time to avoid them.

"ASSHOLES!" I yelled.

The French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and
Michael
Moore, backed up by John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums and Bill
Clinton
on
sax.

I LOVE this car!

And this is why I am an anomaly in my family. This is why I sit tight lipped at extended family functions..and the fact that I don't do so with my parents and brother makes them very uncomfortable. At least Kevin loves me.
