3. When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

5. Chuck Norris is suing Myspace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you.
6. Chuck Norris does not lead, he follows.

All but fun fact Number Six can be found on ChuckNorrisFacts.com. In a recent statement, Chuck not only expressed his disappointment with this past weekend’s Proposition 8 protesters but suggested that people should follow their leaders without questioning them:

Of course, activists say they are merely utilizing their political freedoms and rights, but, the fact is, I see a lot of sore losers who are intolerant of any outcome but the one they desire. Some are acting like toddlers who throw a temper tantrum until they get their way. Are they fighting for their rights or at last showing true colors of intolerance against anyone who believes contrary to them?

There have been many of us who have passionately opposed an Obama election, but you don't see us protesting in the streets, crying out unfair – rather we are submitting to a democratic process and now asking how we can support "our" president. Just because we don't like the election outcome, doesn't give us the right to bully those who oppose us. In other words, if democracy doesn't tip our direction, we don't swing to anarchy. That would be like the Wild West all over again, signs of which appear to be resurrecting in these post-election protests.
