-------Subject: New virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new
virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease. This disease is
contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior. The disease is called
Gonorrhea Lecthym (Pronounced "Gonna Re-elect Him"). Many victims have
contracted it after having been screwed by the
Bush-Cheney-Rove-Ashcroft administration for the past 4 years, and failing
to have taken adequate measures to protect themselves.
Cognitive sequellae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea lecthim
include: Antisocial personality disorder traits; delusions of grandeur
with a messianic flavor; cognitive perseveration; inability to
incorporate new information into a rigid idée fixee; xenophobia;
inability to accept responsibility for actions; and a strong
propensity for categorical, all-or nothing thinking.
This epidemic is out of control. MMWR reports it has already resulted in
brain death in over 59,000,000 Americans. Excessive exposure to trailer
parks, country gospel music and yellow ribbon asphyxiation are thought to be
contributing factors New CDC Director Archbishop Burke has ordered a halt to
research into the disease after determining the disease is incurable and is
merely God's will.
Apparently, however, at least 55,000,000 of us have natural immunity and are
poised to lead a brief, but exciting life right after the rapture begins and
our afflicted fellow Americans ascend to their eternal reward.

"Don't be confused by surfaces; in the depths everything becomes law. And those who live the mystery falsely and badly (and they are very many) lose it only for themselves and nevertheless pass it on like a sealed letter, without knowing it."
-- Rilke, _Letters to a Young Poet_
