Yay! Deepak Chopra is going to be on The Early Show, talking about his new book "Jesus".
And staying positive...

Even though I was found "not guilty" for the 2004 murder of my own boob tube, my boyfriend fears for the safety of his when I'm here alone...

2. Me too, I took a walk in the freezing rain instead.
The Deepak Chopras of the world are human viruses, it's probably safer to avoid any contact.

4. Just wait for your local PBS station's fund drive
PBS stations seem to like to save up for a concentrated woo fest every quarter's fund drive.

7. That's when I catch up on my Ken Dwyer and Suze Ormond
The Purpose-Driven Fund Drive is the most wonderful time of the year.

3. What's the harm?
He's respected worldwide for... something. And he has a positive message. Why do you hate positivity?

Besides, he has an "exotic-sounding" name, so we should assume that his wisdom is superior to our, if ours may truly be called "wisdom."

5. And we all know that being positive will cure all your diseases
Including genetic diseases- just think hard enough and mutations will occur to right your DNA. Why does BMUS want us to be sick? Pharma Shill!!11!ONE!1

6. If you have a genetic disease, you probably WANT to have it
Otherwise, why would you have it? QED.

8. Exotic-sounding, yes, but is he an Indigo Child?
How are we supposed to accept spiritual guidance from people when we don't know what they are?

10. I live by the WKRP Rule myself...
How are we supposed to accept spiritual guidance from people when we don't know what they are?

A line from an old episode of WKRP In Cincinnatti that I've always found helpful:

"I refuse to be lectured on the Meaning Of Life by a man wearing a white belt!"

I just substitute something applicable after "by." Like "a spiritual leader with a Learjet" or "a guy with a funny name who mutilates quantum physics on Oprah" or "a pushy Albanian nun who harasses the poor into deathbed conversions."

9. His little buddy's name is even more exotic
Edited on Wed Nov-12-08 01:37 PM by onager
Frijot Capra.

Damn search engines...

We did not find results for: chopra and capra asshats. Try the suggestions below or type a new query above.

OK, maybe I need a more specific search term...

We did not find results for: chopra and capra shitheads...
