I’m not sure how familiar most of you are with Scientology. In college, I had a lecture in my Information Warfare class all about how Scientologists have made efforts to fight criticism and keep certain information from being made public. Anyhoo, just as something of interest, here’s the Wikipedia entry for Xenu (as much as I want to hate Wikipedia, the entries in it tend to be thorough and unbiased).
What I find most interesting about Xenu is the message at the bottom of the page when you do a Google search for it. Know of any other search term that yields a similar message?

C’mon People!
If you actually can’t tell who did the carnival of comedy this week, you haven’t been paying very much attention.
I’ll give some hints.
Hint#1: It was NOT ME.
Hint#2: Check out other posts on the front page for the same name.
But whoever did do it did a great job. Better than I usually do, that’s for [bleep] sure.
Another hint is below the fold
Question of the Day
John Hawkins published his list of favorite blogs, and I rank highly but behind (Damn you) Scrappleface. Out of curiosity, what are your favorite blogs?
BTW, Hawkins also has an interview with Mark Steyn.
Frank Advice on Gitmo Detainees
Now I’m hearing the prisoners at Gitmo are abusing the guards with monkey like feces flinging and constant violent threats. I even have heard from an unnamed source that some prisoners are taking the guards’ Bibles, touching them with their infidel hands, and flushing them (you know, the flushable sized Bibles the Gideons hand out that only has the New Testament). Some prisoners have even stolen guard food supplies, forcing the guards to not eat pork. Not consuming pork is a special blaspheme in the Christian religion and could lead to much duress.
Now, I know you Christian reading this are quite enraged and ready to riot and kill each other, but let’s approach this calmly. Let’s ask ourselves, “What would Jesus do?”
A. Kill the unbelievers.
B. Body slam a detainee into a folding table.
C. Freak out and knock over tables.
D. Something involving peace and love.
E. C followed by D.
According to the Bible, it’s either D or E. Of course, I’m not Jesus and fall quite short of Him, but I have a few suggestions of my own.
FRANK ADVICE ON DEALING WITH UNRULY GITMO DETAINEES
The Carnival of Comedy!
Greetings imao.us readers! Since Dreamworks canceled my War of the Worlds press tour because many have come to believe I am mentally unbalanced, I’ve been promoting my movie through the non-traditional media. In that vein, I am auditing this weeks Carnival of Comedy! So sit back, grab your e-meter, and let’s have some non-pharmaceutically-based fun!

I’ve run my e-meter on this first batch of links, and these submitters have truly reached the advanced Operating Thetan stage of Bridge consciousness. These OTs have exteriorstated their body thetans and have liberated their souls from the evil extraterrestrial tyrant Xenu.

Patriot Xeno at Right Hand of God presents an amusing exchange similar to one I recently had with Nicole Kidman at Irrational Beings
The Raving Atheist at The Raving Atheist presents a thought provoking NSFW discussion of recent Supreme Court rulings at Supreme Court Split on Display of the Two T*ts
Joe Pehoski at Joe’s blog delves into the non-thetan animal kingdom at Totally True Llama Facts
Jim McCarthy at Movies I Didn’t See reviews a movie my fiancé Kelly loves, but he hasn’t seen (which is possible once one achieves an Operating Thetan stage of consciousness) at Review of “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”
Laurence Simon at This Blog Is Full Of Crap presents an interesting nautically themed post that makes me long for my Sea Org days with L. Ron Hubbard at Prison Ships
Buckley F. Williams at The Nose On Your Face presents some poems that make my dyslexic head ache at Sir Richard of Durbin: A Dr. Seuss From Beyond The Grave Tale
Finally, Damian G. at Conservathink presents an examination of Xenu’s heir’s head gear at Pimp my Pope mobile
For the first time, you get the chance to vote for whichever of the above bloggers you think brought “teh funny” this week. There can only be one winner, so chose wisely!
UPDATE: This weeks winner will get the privilege of displaying a special graphic on their blog (if they so choose) and will also win this valuable prize.
And now for the rest . . .
My e-meter tells me that this next group of submitters have reached the Clear state of consciousness. Although they have at least a couple hundred thousand dollars in auditing and clay tabling left to reach the heightened sense of consciousness achieved by intellectuals like me, they are well on their way to operating as pure disembodied souls.

Mr. Right at The Right Place presents You Just Might Be a Moonbat…
a4g at Point Five presents Military Says Flag Burning High on List of “What We Fight For”
The Evil Emperor Mindstation at Point Five presents NASA to Blow Up Comet “Just Because”
Steve the Pirate at Steve the Pirate[net] presents Karl Rove Deemed to be Dark Lord of the Sith
Ironman at Political Calculations presents The Equation
Dana at Northshore Politics presents It doesn’t snow in Alaska!
Dr. Phat Tony at Dr. Phat Tony’s presents Hippies Gone Wild
James Wigderson at Wigderson Library and Pub presents I feel a lot better
Pete at The Daily Cause presents Gay Fuel
alsocanadian at IAM(also)CANADIAN presents Shocking New Saddam Prison Photos!
The MaryHunter at TMH’s Bacon Bits presents USA to SCOTUS: Be Careful What You Wish For
GEBIV at There’s One, Only! presents PGHA: Where to put the terrorists?
Two Dogs at Mean Ol’ Meany presents Obligatory Beer-Thirty Update and gets bonus points for spelling “y’all” correctly.
Dr. Phat Tony at Dr. Phat Tony’s presents The Minority Report
Pluto’s Dad at Eyes On The Ball News presents Bolton To Use Eminent Domain to Seize UN Building
Steve the Pirate at Steve the Pirate[net] presents Battle Royale II: Karl Rove vs. Emperor Palpatine
David at satire presents Wal-Mart Demolishes the Supreme Court To Build A New Supreme Super Center (note NSFW sidebar)
John Hatch at Ideas Hatched presents Rape
Damian G. at Conservathink presents Ode to a troll
And now the rest of the rest . . .
I had trouble auditing this last group of submissions using my e-meter, so I moved over to the clay table. Here is a photo of what I came up with . . .

These Pre-Clears need to spend some time on remedial TRs in the Rehabilitation Project Force. Perhaps they need to throw their antidepressants into the trash and realize that true enlightenment and freedom from the Marcab Confederacy can only be obtained through Scientology’s Spiritual Technology.
Beth at MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy among other things, takes an unjustified shot at me at New Hair Removal Technique
Will Franklin at WILLisms.com presents some art that will cause me to spend many hours in deep contemplation at the clay table with Drew Curtis at Creative Taxidermy.
Big Picture Guy at Big Picture, Small Office presents Critical Mass, which this post never quite obtains
Tommy at Striving for Average presents Sweet Hot Bug Love, a Freudian trip into the heart of darkness
John at Locusts & Honey presents The Downing Street Memo — John has a link to something quite funny, but he gets mega demerits for putting it in a .doc file!
Dan Melson at Searchlight Crusade makes my brain ache at Lord of the (Blog) Rings
Well, it’s been fun. Now, clear out your checking and savings accounts, cash in your 401(k)s, get those credit card checks, and head down to your nearest Scientology center so you can be as smart as me!
UPDATE: Pluto’s Dad at Eyes On The Ball News gives me some free PR — we’ll be sending a couple guys over later for some five-finger auditing Tom Cruise Clinic For Wellness Opens
the DVR is the greatest!!!
and Frank J.’s eye is the sharpest!!
so we’re watching an old episode of CSI from this season on the hi-def TiVo. Frank, the ever-scrutinizing, noticed that when Warrick Brown started thumbing through some money, the $100 bills looked super fake. i said, “but Sweetie, all the new money looks fake.” the great Frank J. said, “no, but these look even faker than the fakest.” so of course, we played it back frame-by-frame for intense analysis purposes, and what did we see?
each bill is stamped:
FOR MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY.
hahahahahahahahaha!!!! not kidding. oh, and Frank was sooooo proud of himself. and was quite sure that waiting for the HD-TiVo was the right move.
p.s. For pictures of Frank in his birthday suit present, go here.
New White House Press Conference Strategy
(A Precision Guided Humor Assignment)
At a recent White House press conference…
SCOTT MCCLELLAN: Good afternoon. Although I’m usually the one who has to handle questions from you journalistic jackals, President Bush has informed me that I’m not being aggressive enough with my responses, and he’ll be handling the briefing today… Mr. President?
W: And you’re too damn fat, too. Now, in order to encourage more respectful questions, I’ll be instituting a program of rewards and punishments as a way of giving you feedback on your level of professionalism. Ok, who wants to go first?

A Contrast of Character
IMAO in conjunction with Townhall.com in conjunction with Trey Jackson has made this video to make fun of Howard Dean. See how well someone can be zinged when the blogosphere works together.
(NOTE: All I did was read the lines given to me. Think I can do a career as an announcer?)
A spacemonkey Reaction To The Dub’s Speech
According to James OTB
What’s interesting is how many of the sites on my blogroll who’ve updated in the last two hours have no reaction to the speech at all.
So, to placate James (Are we even on his blogroll? Is he on ours?), Here’s my reaction to the the Dub’s speech. Dub, that’s what the Dub, sorry, the President lets his close personal constituency call him. He wouldn’t get upset if I told yo that either, that’s just Dub. Anyway, here’s my reaction.

The New School
Michelle Malkin has brought our attention to a New Yorker piece that focuses on yet ONE MORE thing wrong with our public schools: Too many of the wrong programs. The latest being a New York program called Operation Respect: Don’t laugh at me. If you haven’t read the link, go there now. I’ll wait.
You haven’t read it, have you? You did? Good.
My favorite part is where teachers are guided to other resources such as the music of Peter, Paul and Mary. (The #1 group of 1960) So, now we have all of these programs to help kids become build yet more self esteem. I mean, really, Peter, Paul and Mary? As my mom would say, “Ai, Jesus, Maria Y Jose!”
However, Michelle is too busy to be able to do some serious digging. Enter RWD and the crew at IMAO. Remember, if there are questions that you need answered — we have the best Fake But Accurate data out there.
In Search of Funny
Man, I haven’t written anything funny today. I guess I would have something if I had been following the news… but I ain’t been following the news. So I’m just here panicking going, “I gotta write something funny!”
To which I reply, Then write something funny.
“But I can’t think of anything!”
So just write something about Chomps biting someone or Buck killing foreigners; that’s always enough to placate the rubes.
“No, I want something brilliant and funny, or otherwise my readers will go read some other blog… and I hate it when people read other blogs!”
Well, I’m not bailing you out of this one, bucko. You make your own humor. Do a top ten list or something. Those are easy.
“About what?”
Check what’s on the frontpage of CNN.com for an idea.
“‘U.S. copter came under fire before crash’… I don’t think there’s anything funny about that.”
“Top Ten Things Not to Do While in a Copter Under Fire” Number 10: Play “Guess Who” with the pilot.
“That’s just sick.”
You asked for my help…
“And you just scared all the funny out of me.”
Hey, I got a fun idea: Let’s see how many racial slurs we can name!
“Go away.”
That’s your problem, bucko; you’re scared of living on the edge. Now, if you let me free to write on IMAO, there’d be so much controversy that…
“No way. I don’t want that trouble.”
Fine. Can we at least get some coffee?
“Yeah, sure.”
Question of the Day
D’oh!
I completely forgot about the President’s speech last night. Since I now have Tivo, I never check the TV schedule and instead just depend on Tivo to catch all I want to see. I ended up spending last night watching CSI: Miami with my sweetie (it was a rerun of when Speedle got killed – hadn’t seen it). It’s certainly easy to find what the blogosphere thinks, but I want to hear my readers’ impressions. Please put them in the comments.
“Thanks… for nothing”
Bruce Campbell, the star of such cult movie hits as Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, made a swing through Seattle to promote his novel How to Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way, a satirical look at Hollywood.
A friend of mine and I got there a little early to the event and promptly got lost in the extremely confusing underground parking lot. Once we found our way up to overcast Seattle daylight, we were on the wrong side of the building. We weren’t the only ones lost: Bruce Campbell and his publicist were also wandering around back there.
“Hi,” Bruce Campbell said. “Do you guys know where you’re going?”
“Yeah we’re going to see you,” I said. “Where are you going?”
What followed was a comedy of errors where the four of us tried various doors into the building that mostly went like this:
ME: Okay Bruce–This door is the one!
(Kuh-click! RATTLE! RATTLE! RATTLE!)
PUBLICIST: (sigh)
BRUCE CAMPBELL: Yep, I sure am glad we hooked up with you guys…
