The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Dear Oracle:
>
> I have read your last posting, and I find that your answers are morally
> bankrupt.  What do you have to say for yourself?
>
> Sincerely,
>   Jesse Helms.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Oh, Mr. Helms... you are more pathetic than the newspapers give you
} credit for.  I'm morally bankrupt, am I?  You, sir, are mentally
} bankrupt!  You don't care about the Lord and his word of love, you
} just want to get and maintain political power using any means
} possible.  You pick Christianity, since most people believe it and
} few people will question it.  That way, you will be able to get away
} with almost anything.  You truly are a worm.
}
} This is just like the furor over Mapplethorpe's art.  You could have
} looked at it, have been disgusted, and tried to get its funding
} revoked because it was stupid and disgusting.  But noooooo.  You
} have to go out of your way to find RELIGIOUS meaning!  And
} homosexual meanings!  Well, Mr. Helms, last time I checked, there
} was no law against homosexuality.  If you had said nothing,
} Mapplethorpe's work would have faded away into obscurity under its
} own vice.  But you had to make a big deal about it and raise
} hackles.  Now the public can't get enough of it.  Guess what?  Your
} tactics backfired 180 degrees!  Do you really have such little
} foresight that you couldn't see this obvious chain of events?  You
} really do need the Oracle.  Before you ruin me, try asking me some
} sensible questions.  Maybe you could straighten out your life a bit.
}
} Now on to your charge against me.  I am morally bankrupt?  Let's
} look at context here.  That's right!  Context!  Do you even know
} what the word means?  I doubt it.  How many of the women trying to
} enter the blockaded abortion clinics are going there because they
} were raped?  You don't even know!  You just want to raise hackles in
} the name of the Lord.  You don't know the first thing about God's
} love.  That's a worse blasphemy than openly worshiping Satan.
}
} Now on to context and how it affects your charge against the Oracle.
} The last posting, you say.  Did you notice that the last posting was
} sent to rec.humor?  That's right!  The Oracularities are meant to be
} HUMOROUS!  That's no excuse for moral bankruptcy, but if you think
} about it (cough! cough! what a stench of burning dust!) you'll
} realize that any of my musings that are straight-thinking, correct,
} serious, and morally correct WON'T GET POSTED TO A HUMOR NEWSGROUP!
} I suppose you could care less that I've kept this world from
} exploding numerous times.  Take a look at a recent answer I
} wrote:

} The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
} Your question was:
}
} > Oh wondrous Oracle, please help me.  Lithuania has formally

} > Georgia want to secede too!  What can I do?
} >
} >                             With deepest sincerity,
} >                             Mikhail Gorbachev.
}
} And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
}
} } You have to realize that the history of the Soviet Union is a
} } violent one, filled with crushed uprisings, the silencing of
} } individual opinion, and the forced annexation of territory.  In 1940
} } the Baltic republics were annexed forcefully.  Of course they'll
} } want to secede!  All you can really do is let it transpire
} } peacefully.  The best (and as far as I can tell, ONLY) way this
} } could ever happen is if you send military troops into Lithuania.
} } Don't use them to crush uprisings, just secure a few public build-
} } ings and carry out exercises.  The world will take it all wrong,
} } but the troops will just be there to make sure the peace is kept.
} } Remember what happened in Armenia.  You sent troops too late, and by
} } that time, all you could reasonably do was crush the uprising.  Send
} } the troops in first this time.  And let the Soviet Union dissolve
} } gradually.  President Reagan was right; it really is an "Evil
} } Empire."  The best you can do is let it dissolve peacefully.
} }
} } Please write back.  You owe the Oracle your continued streak of
} } good luck.
}
} See what I mean?  If you have your way, you will undoubtedly let the
} planet slip into violence and chaos.
}
} You owe the Oracle a change of heart.  Learn ALL the facts about
} something before taking any drastic actions, and maybe the world
} won't think you're so stupid.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Oh Oracle whose morning breath smells like twenty-dollar-a-bottle
> perfume, I recently inherited an original Norman Rockwell painting
> which depicts a paperboy performing fellatio on a policeman.  Is this
> painting in any way rare or valuable?  Where can I obtain others like

>
> Humbly and with infinite devotion I await your answer, but don't feel
> pressured.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} That's $2 a can FDS.
}
} The picture you describe is indeed rare.  To understand its value
} you must know the true history of "Norman Rockwell".  But beware...
} this information is a closely guarded secret and could get you
} into Real (tm) Trouble!
}
} A few years back there lived a slimy degenerate named Norman Rockwell.
} He was into all sorts of kinky perversion of the types frowned upon
} by most civilizations.  At the zenith of his career, he had thousands
} of brain dead followers who would do anything demanded by their
} beloved Nambla.  The nickname given Rockwell was later applied to
} the NAtional Man Boy Love Association which Rockwell founded.
} This organization advocates sex between grown men and young boys,
} often swapping pictures and tapes of their very children for the
} prurient interests of fellow "members".
}
} Over the course of his lifetime, Rockwell painted hundreds of these
} pedophile porn pieces, using actual NAMBLA photos as models.
} Eventually Rockwell was captured by a mob of angry parents while
} using the alias "Kinko the Kid Loving Clown" to entrap nubile young
} boys into his sordid game.
}
} The parents doused him with gasoline and set him on fire in his
} sleazy hideout in an old abandoned warehouse in Springwood.  As
} the flames had their way with him, he vowed revenge.
}
} The parents then rounded up all the pedi-porn they could find and
} fed it also to the inferno.  Then to cleanse the world of the
} atrocities wrought by Rockwell they began to mass produce those
} cutesy pictures normally associated with Norman Rockwell.  By
} flooding the country with these harmless little paintings they
} hoped to replace his lecherous legacy with one of good.
}
} The plan has generally succeeded.  Every grandmother in the USA
} has several of these bogus Rockwells depicting, say, a boy throwing
} a stick for a dog to chase or two little kids looking at their
} reflection in a pond.  Unfortunately, these are just as likely
} to induce vomiting as the original artwork.
}
} Lately, there have been reports of original Rockwells such as the
} one you have surfacing.  As the reports grow more frequent, many
} believe Rockwell has returned to inflict his revenge.
}
} The Oracle suggests you keep your hands off of that little boy
} who came to your door selling boy scout candy.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Why am I so confused whenever I see my girlfriend's tail?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Boy, does that question ever bring back memories! Throughout history,

} you'll allow me a slight trip down memory lane...

} Your question was:
}
} > Why am I so confused whenever I see my girlfriend's tail?

} And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
}
} } You are confused becuase it is prehensile, and therefore she can

} The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
} Your question was:

}
} } Because the psychedelic tattoo on her bottom is slowly reprogramming
} } your brain. If you don't knock it off, you're going to feel like
} } stopping this summer of love shit and getting a job on Wall Street.
}
} [Sniff!] Those were great times! Oh, say, I should answer *your*
} question!
}
} It's really simple. You see, your girlfriend lives next to a toxic
} waste dump and has slowly mutated over the years so that she now farts
} radon. It's colorless, odorless, and it's reducing your IQ every time
} you give her oral sex.
}
} You owe the Oracle a piece of tail.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Oh great and dripping Oracle, whose forearm I am not worthy to wash,
> please answer my horny question:
>   Which guru is the best lover?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} The one on the mountain comes in fountains,
} The one in the valley loves to dally,
} The one with the crucifix licks and licks,
} The one with the Talmud is good with a pud,
} The one that is Hindu will spend ten weeks in you,
} The Prophets of Allah wildly hallah,
} The ones that are pagan go again & again,
} Shirley Maclain's is into pain,
} George Harrison's can be embarrasin',
} And as for the others, ask your mothers.
} But by far the best guru for both the sexes,
} Who satisfies Johnny and Sue and Alexis,
} Whose schlong penetrates to the solar plexus,
} Whose tits and whose ass are expansive as Texas,
} Whose ravenous love-bites practically wrecks us,
} Is, of course, the Oracle.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> What world leaders smell the best?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, all the dead ones smell pretty bad now, but they varied a lot
} when they were alive.  Probably the best-smelling one today is the
} Prime Minister of the U. K., Margaret Thatcher, despite what her
} political opponents say.  Gorbachev smells of vodka and expensive
} wool suits, but with some subtle sweaty overtones.  President Bush
} smells pretty good for an oldish man; Reagan, during his Presidency,
} tended to fart a bit much.  Canadian Prime Ministers have historically
} smelled pretty good.  Going back a bit, Hitler owed a lot of his rise
} to power to smelling pretty good even in lederhosen.  De Gaulle smelled
} great, apart from the garlic.  Nehru smelled pleasant.
}
} Really there's no correlation between smelling good and and admirable
} qualities.  Franco smelled atrocious, but for a fascist he was rather
} a good man (what with saving all those Jews from Hitler and Mussolini,
} for example.  Speaking of Jews, Israeli Prime Ministers don't smell
} half bad).
