I have to admit that this is pretty good: Candidate for New Romney Campaign Song. Personally, I think it has legs. But I guess the cautious folks on Team Romney will be seeing how it plays in key markets, and if it doesn’t work out, then I suppose we’ll get something else.

My first thought was that this was an unusually good piece of Photoshop. My second was that it had to be an impostor or double.

But then I started to think, despite April 1 being just behind us, that it might be real.

And now I just don’t know: There seems strangely little coverage of this amazingly informal entrance to a serious conference, although I have found one other source reporting it as real. So goes the Internet.

[Insert #OBJoke about Obama skating through Presidency here.]

A geek met a gal online. After they had been dating for a while she brought him home to meet her family. Her uncle seemed amazed that they had met over the Internet and asked the geek what kind of line he had used to pick her up. “I just used a regular 56K modem,” he replied.

Yes, last year’s joke was better.

Slacktivist points us to Share Your Favorite Religious Joke! just in time for exam period, during which everyone needs a laugh.

There were some old favorites, and many which were new to me, including these:

Patrick was on his way to a job interview, but was running late as usual. As he was searching fruitlessly through the parking lot for a space, he prayed, “Lord, if you find me a parking spot I’ll go to church every Sunday, stop swearing, and give up me Irish whiskey!” Miraculously, a space suddenly opened up!

and Patrick looked up to heaven and said…

“Never mind, Lord. I found one.”

HOW MANY CHRISTIANS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB?

Charismatic: Only one. Hands already in the air.

Pentecostals: Ten. One to change the bulb and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None. Lights will go off and on at predestined times.

Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.

Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad.

Episcopalians: Three. One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks and one to talk about how much better the old bulb was.

Mormons: Five. One man to change the bulb and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light bulb is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb or tulip bulb. A church-wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring a bulb of your choice and a covered dish.

Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review the church lighting policy.

Lutherans: None. Lutherans don’t believe in change.

Amish: What’s a light bulb?
