Well I admit I think Hinduism is a very strange religion, but I think we should avoid making fun of it too much. Indian people in the US are hard working people who mind their own business, and if McCain picks Jindal for his VP, they will be Republican voters in the fall. So we probably shouldn’t make fun of their gods too much. There’s freedom of religion here and at least their religion isn’t about blowing anything up and they don’t try to kill their relatives who convert from it so Hindu people can always make up their own minds when they learn about Christianity.

OK, but has he gotten Saruman's endorsement?

OH NO!!! The monkey god surfaces again!!

I always say, if you don't have the blessing of the monkey god, you can forget being president.

Shri Ganesh post to follow...

Somebody obviously has got this all wrong, that is in fact a statue of Curious George!

"People give Clinton lucky items all the time on the campaign trail," said a Clinton spokesman. "Recently, for example, she's received a lucky coin, a lucky handkerchief that a woman in Texas gave to her that she sometimes keeps in her pocket, and a lucky bracelet that a woman in Ohio gave her that she wears every day. She keeps all of them."

So, how'd that work out for you, Hillary?

Here's a little secret: If someone gives you something and says it'll bring you luck, keep in mind that there are two kinds of luck.

Barry may want to keep a little Shri Ganesh (hindu god of knowledge) charm on hand. But then again, he may have carried him around pre-Hillary suspension, as he is also the "remover of obstacles."

I have a lucky .45 I carry with me everywhere. It’s a S&W Scandium 1911 commander model. I have several other handguns as well, but the S&W is the lucky one.

I don’t have a problem with Hinduism or any other religion aside from Islam.

Its just that this guy is so unbelieveable. If he’s Christian, why the Hindu God?
