etumukutenyakMy sister-in-law emailed us a joke:
"Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard, crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico . This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.
However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:
Albert A. Gore, Jr..
Hillary Rodham.
John F. Kerry.
William J. Clinton.
Howard Dean.
Nancy Pelosi.
Dianne Feinstein.
Charles E. Schumer.
Barbara Boxer.
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me. No wonder They support the bill to help illegal aliens!!
Now You Know."
The problem is, none of this is true, which irritates me. I was looking forward to seeing that they did have 1948 birthdays, which would have been funny and odd and geeky, but no.
Al Gore was born in March of 1948. Hillary Rodham was born in October of 1947. John Kerry's birthday is December 11th. Bill Clinton was born in August 1946. Howard Dean was born in 1948, but in November. Nancy Pelosi was born in 1940. Dianne Feinstein was born in 1933. Charles Schumer -- 1950. Barbara Boxer -- 1940.
Call me disappointed. People who make political jokes ought to do better than that. That's just repugnant propaganda.
