“NOT ONLY DID MR. COSBY BRING A GROUP OF DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERS IN TO VOTE, BUT HE ALSO CAST VOTES ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE HUXTABLE FAMILY, THE PENN RELAY TEAM, AND SOME GUY WHO GOES BY THE NAME OF ’FAT ALBERT’.”

“LET’S FACE IT, WE DON’T HAVE THE BALLS TO DO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT ENERGIZE THE RIGHT-WING BEFORE THIS ELECTION. BUT BY CUTTING OFF KARL’S BALLS, WE CAN AT LEAST PREVENT A FUTURE RACE OF ‘POLITICAL CONSULTANT MUTANTS’.”

 

A candidate I know just came from Chicago streets
He smiled because I did not understand
Then he held out some marijuana, oh ho
He said it was the best in all the land

“Hillary’s more divisive than Yoko.”

“THE PROBLEMS OF TWO CANDIDATES DON’T AMOUNT TO A ‘HILLARY OF BEANS’ IN THIS CRAZY CAMPAIGN.”

“FORGET VICTOR LASZLO, YOU HAVE TO STAY WITH THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN.”

If you haven’t heard by now, the official team of Jesus, the Colorado Rockies, against all Biblical odds, were swept in the World Series by the Boston Red Sox. As highlighted at One Good Move, the Rockies have become baseball’s equivalent of the Bush Justice Department — recruiting “holy rollers” to take their turn at bat with the Lord.

But contrary to popular perception, their defeat was not solely attribuable to being out-hit and out-pitched. Here then, from the home office of Galilee, are the Top Ten Reasons the Rockies were smitten in the World Series:

10. “THOU SHALL NOT STEAL” GREATLY HAMPERED THEIR PROGRESS¬†ON THE BASEPATHS.

¬†9. MISTOOK COACH’S HIT-AND-RUN SIGN FOR “SIGN OF THE CROSS.”

¬†8. HOMOPHOBIA PREVENTED TEAMMATE “ASS-PATTING,” DESTROYING TEAM MORALE.

 7. ROCKIES MANAGER REFUSED TO USE BULLPEN, DRIVING OUT THE PITCHING CHANGERS.

 6. CITING THE APOSTLES, TEAM INSISTED ON PLAYING TWELVE FIELDERS, THUS FORFEITING GAME.

5. “TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK” RESULTED IN¬†OUTFIELDERS GETTING SMACKED BY FLY BALLS.

4. GOT SICK AFTER SWALLOWING CHEWING TOBACCO LIKE COMMUNION WAFERS.

3. REFUSED TO MOUNT LATE INNING RESURRECTIONS WITHOUT A SIGN FROM ABOVE.

2. PITCHING COACH CONFUSED HURLERS WITH SERMON ON THE MOUND.

1. UNMARRIED PLAYERS NOT ALLOWED TO ADVANCE BEYOND FIRST BASE.
