Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Scrappleface Satire

There’s some funny stuff there this week. My favorite entries:

:: Publisher Revokes Hillary’s Advance for Common Good
(2004-07-01) — In the same week that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, told a San Francisco audience that future President John Forbes Kerry will take money away from wealthy Americans “on behalf of the common good”, the former First Lady’s publisher announced it would not pay the $5.3 million deferred advance it owes for her book Living History.

“To get the publishing industry, and our company in particular, back on track, we’re going to cut that short and not give it to you,” a spokesman for Simon and Shuster reportedly told Mrs. Clinton. “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”

:: Spider-Man 2 Conspires to Silence Michael Moore
“It’s not just the cynical timing of the release of Spider-Man 2,” said Mr. Moore, “but the movie endorses the unilateral and so-called righteous use of power to overcome so-called evil. This is a thinly-veiled rebuttal of Fahrenheit 9/11 and the entire security plank of the Democrat National Committee platform.”

And my favorite:

:: Kerry Campaign Halts: Candidate Won’t Cross Pickets
(2004-06-29) — Just hours after John Forbes Kerry refused to speak to a conference of city mayors because he wouldn’t cross a line of picketing police officers, the Kerry for President campaign announced it has cancelled the candidate’s remaining public appearances for the year.

The move comes in response to an announcement by the United Business Owners Union (UBOU) that its members will picket every venue on the Kerry campaign schedule, because Mr. Kerry advocates higher taxes on the people who create jobs for Americans.

“I don’t cross picket lines. I never have,” said Mr. Kerry, who is also a U.S. Senator.

A campaign spokesman said the candidate’s disappearance from the public eye should not hurt his chances of being elected.

    1) Serves Hillary right.
    2) Moore is trying to get attention, and I think he has paranoia issues, too.
    3) Removing himself from public is probably the best thing he can do for himself. Hopefully, he won’t speak as much, which means he’ll contradict himself less. It also has the added advantage that I don’t have to listen to him as much.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
