Great news, Chair Wearers! The President of the United States is

about to release the following statement at a news conference

scheduled later today at the Florida State Prison:

" My fellow Americans and right wing fanatics everywhere:

As many of you know (with the exception of Pat Robertson, perhaps)

the Lord came to me a few years ago and told me to go attack Iraq and

make sure those ungodly heathens who worship a " foreign god " are

given a good smiting of " Shock and Awe, " so that they will see the

Light and start voting Republican,as well as guarantee America an

unlimited supply of cheap oil for our over-sized SUVs, Praise the

Lord.

Well, Halleluia and Hosanna, my Brethren, because the Lord has spoken

to me again, and He told me to tell y'all to " Wear the Chair. "

The Lord says for y'all to stop trying to pour new wine into old

wineskins. He says, forget about the Cross. It's time for a new

Pope and a new Paradigm.

Yes, friends, the Lord wants you to burn those crosses and don the

Chair. You can wear it around your neck, strap it to your ankle,

embed in your belly button, or buy two and have them made into

earrings. If you choose to pierce other body parts and install the

Chair there, hey, that's your business. We believe in Freedom.

Praise God.

We have today, a very limited supply of Jesus Chairs for sale over at

the side table manned by my Brother in the Lord, the Jebster.

He is joined by the Reverend Jerry Falwell and the irrepressible

Jimmy Swaggart, who will personally bless each and every Chair that

is sold here today with all of the proceeds going to help the Tsunami

victims and to pay for some of the cost-overruns of " Operation Iraqi

Freedom. "

So, folks, wear the Chair. Show him you care.

God Bless America and have a good day. "

G. Dubya Bush

President of the

United States of

America.

And when Bush commences the invasion of Iran he can give the soldiers

a bunch of chairs each so that they can give them to the people in

Iran and convert all the non-christians in that country.

George W. Bush, President of the United States of America: Our God is

better than your God.

Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Hoseini-KHAMENEI: Our God is

better than your God.

The us vs them is sometimes described as first-tier thinking:

" But what none of the first-tier memes can do, on their own, is fully

appreciate the existence of the other memes. Each of the first-tier

memes thinks that its worldview is the correct or best perspective. It

reacts negatively if challenged; it lashes out, using its own tools,

whenever it is threatened. Blue order is very uncomfortable with both

red impulsiveness and orange individualism. Orange individualism

thinks blue order is for suckers and green egalitarianism is weak and

woo-woo. Green egalitarianism cannot easily abide excellence and value

rankings, big pictures, hierarchies, or anything that appears

authoritarian, and thus green reacts strongly to blue, orange, and

anything post-green. "

The second-tier thinking:

" All of that begins to change with second-tier thinking. Because

second-tier consciousness is fully aware of the interior stages of

development--even if it cannot articulate them in a technical

fashion--it steps back and grasps the big picture, and thus

second-tier thinking appreciates the necessary role that all of the

various memes play . Second-tier awareness thinks in terms of the

overall spiral of existence, and not merely in the terms of any one

level. "
