Morning Sedition

Our guest columnists are Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen, co-authors of the 1995 alternate-history novel “1945”.

“But darling, Germany and the United States are not at war. What harm is there if we share the occasional bit of… gossip? Surely you don’t think that I, a loyal Swede…” The question trailed off in a lethal pout as his beautiful and so very exotic mistress stretched languidly, mock-innocent appeal in her eyes.

Even though it had been only minutes since their last lovemaking John Mayhew was as ever overwhelmed by the sight of her, the shameless pleasure she took in her own body and its affect on him. Still, he mustn’t let her see just how much she moved him. A relationship had to have some balance. He stretched in turn, reached over for his cigarettes and gold-plated Ronson on the art deco nightstand with its Tiffany lamp. Since he wasn’t sure what to say he made a production out of lighting up and enjoying that first luxurious after-bout inhalation.

Israel’s Ministry of Immigrant Absorption — which by wacky coincidence is the title of our next horror movie — is running ads and billboards in five American cities, targeting Israeli expat communities at risk of going native. We’d translate, but why spoil the fun?

Netanyahu Government Suggests Israelis Avoid Marrying American Jews [Atlantic, via Sully]

Our guest columnist is Conservatives4Palin, which raised $6,500 to broadcast this ad in Iowa today. (The production cost was presumably a pizza for an organizer’s nephew.)

But we’re above that sort of thing.

Your contributions have made it possible for us to run the Palin reconsider television ad next week in the Sioux City, Iowa market. Thanks to everyone who chipped in to make it possible.

“Genesis 17:24. Abraham was 99 years old when the flesh of his foreskin was cut off.”

A scene from The Brick Testament by Brendan Powell Smith, which illustrates Bible tales with Legos. Walmart-owned Sam’s Club pulled ten thousand copies of the book version off its shelves last week, issuing this statement:

“After selling this specific version online and in several club locations, we received numerous concerns from members and parents about the mature content for a perceived children’s book. Sam’s Club made a business decision to discontinue sales of ‘The Brick Bible’.”

But Smith is a step ahead of them — his website includes this warning: “The Bible contains material some may consider morally objectionable and/or inappropriate for children.”

Our guest Black Friday columnist says that mixing firearms and alcohol makes a great gift idea!
