It depends on who you want dead

More than a week before this Facebook group showed up and subsequently garnered over a million fans, a memo was sent out by the New Jersey Education Association (the teachers’ union) containing the following prayer referencing the state’s Republican governor:

"Dear Lord: This year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays … I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."

It’s a joke. It’s been used before and it’ll be used again. But though the Obama version clearly ripped off the Christie version, the Obama version is the one that seems to have been deemed “not funny” and “dangerous.”
