You’ve all seen them. Various bumper stickers denigrating socialism, health care reform, anything supposedly Liberal.
There does not seem to be a whole lot of ones out there of the other ilk. How about coming up with a few?
I’ll start it off.
Capitalism: Where 10% of the people have 65% of the wealth.
Capitalism: Have you checked your 401k lately.
I love how Korporations manage MY health care.
Canada could teach US about citizen centered government
The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson available at Amazon.com
Okay here is the deal in a nutshell. If you think the probability of a deity being a Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is on equal par with a deity being Allah, Jesus, Jehovah, or whomever then you will find this book entertaining. If that thought offends you will in all unlikely not enjoy this book. Personally, in the last situation, I think you should read the book just to see what the other side thinks and believes.
The book stems from a letter Bobby Henderson wrote to the Kansas Board of Education when they were putting Intelligent Design on par with the theory of evolution in the public school curriculum. He has a point, if Intelligent Design is to be taught why not yet another point of view.
The book is basically an effort to expand on that original letter. Parts of it are a little dense or dry. Parts of it are very funny. Parts are some what redundant.
I enjoyed it, but take it for what it is a spoof on all things religious.
My future plans involve having a monk’s robe made out of Mexican blanket material, grabbing a pirate hat and patch and going to the Big Lebowski Festival as a Dudeist priest of the Pastafarian flavor.

Book Review by Sister Lorie
I’m not sure how this book came to my attention, it’s not my usual read. It’s told from the point of view of , Enzo, an aging dog as he recounts his doggie life. He is a dog philosopher and expounds on his view of humanity and our views. He is frustrated with his lack of anatomical ability to communicate to his humans and is left with doggie drool and gestures.
I don’t want this to be a spoiler, so let me just say this. Anyone who has been emotionally attached to a dog or thought that the dog has understood a conversation will love this book. I found myself laughing out loud at Enzo’s take on the owners in-laws and his way of letting them know he didn’t care for them. The end is touching and puts in words what I have long suspected. Great read if you have or have had a dog. If you don’t have a dog, this book may give you the desire to spend time with one of creation’s best creatures.
