Dear friend - Please forward this!

If you DON'T, then you don't love Jesus:


Vic DeMize, of The Pragmatist's Corner, has taken the time to investigate and debunk an "alarming" e-mail that he received today concerning the "true facts" of the social security system. In this particular gem, Democrats are blamed for every ill that has ever befallen the system - In others, the pachyderms across the aisle are laid waste to. Either way, our spam mailboxes are in need of constant cleaning!

Vic has some advice for those who send out these annoying, and generally factless, e-mails:

"So to those who delight in passing on misinformation without taking the time to do their own research, let me assure you: I will do your research for you and if your facts are found to be lacking I will not hesitate to present the truth, not only to you, but to everyone you sent your bullshit (it's called "Reply to All"), ensuring your social embarrassment and destroying your credibility in the eyes of your online friends."

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN ? ? ? Relax. . .he's not wanted for anything, just ask his wife! (ba-dump-bump) But, seriously folks, Vic DeMize is an old friend of mine who foolishly decided to start a blog of his own despite my dire warnings! He has a sharp wit and a downright insane knowledge of trivia and obscure information; test him at your own peril.

Politically, his choice of blog name tells you his position right up front. But allow me to quote from his profile:

Welcome to The Pragmatist's Corner

Your one-stop shopping experience for views, opinions and ideas that lean sometimes to the lest (correction: left) and sometimes to the right, but never quite seem to fit into the confines of Party Doctrine. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican you're sure to find things that will amuse you as well as things that will annoy you - but then again, that's exactly why we're here so we can thrash things out.

Please try to keep things civil as much as possible - it's always more productive to attack ideas rather than individuals. And if you & I butt heads, don't get too discouraged - I've been known to see the other side occasionally and have even been convinced to change my mind if you present a really good case.

LET THE FREE THINKING BEGIN!

Please drop by and harass the shit out of him at your earliest convenience, and. . .tell him that Johnny sent ya! ;)
