The Ministry of Information would like to report that we have received an e-mail from the Clinton campaign, which includes a photo of US Senator Barack Obama wearing a red tie (shown below)– which everyone knows is evidence of his secret, conservative leanings. The e-mail states that Clinton would not be caught dead wearing a red tie, because she is not now, nor has she ever been a member of the Communist Party – though she cannot say the same for Mr. Obama. The Obama campaign has yet to deny his known, Communist Party affiliation.
As with an earlier posting, in which our writer described Obama’s Kenyan father as Nigerian, we have not taken the time to check our facts. And why should we? And why should you? Because we wrote it and you read it on the internet, so it has to be true, right? Just google “Obama Nigerian father” and see how many other people think Obama’s father is Nigerian. And did you know that Lagos is the capital city of Nigeria? Well, it is. Trust us. We are the internet’s Ministry of Information. If anyone says it ain’t, you can tell them you read it on the internet – and that makes it true.
Although we have no picture of Obama in a red tie and cannot produce the e-mail we received, it is the hope of the Ministry that other news sources will pick up this story and circulate it ; that both the Clinton, Obama and McCain campaigns will spend time, money and energy discussing this photo and what it means; that you, gentle reader, will pay attention to stories like these, post it on your blogs, talk with your friends about the “necktie scandal”, and be distracted from the more important and informative posts that populate this blog, not to mention the world we live in.
Some bloggers, here, try to entice you with honest reporting on issues that matter (with all their boring facts, tedious attention to accuracy and insistence of informing the public over entertaining them). But with stories like “Obama in red tie!” and "V47.77 Absence, Penis, Acquired", the Ministry looks forward to the day when we get thousands of hits a day and our blog membership fees are paid for by the advertisements and the logos of our corporate sponsors, found in the empty margins of your screen. $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Our only regret, is that some other “news blog”, beat us to it with “Obama wearing turban”. Damn that Ministry of Truth and their sucky “Ignorance Is Truth” motto!!!! Our motto is more cooler.
