Peter can be our Ron Hubbard and we can donate cartoon money to cartoon missionaries and our daily devotional can take place on the Cartoon Network during adult swim every night.

I think it's right wing "humor" columnist Tom Purcell.

He really does look like Peter, and here's one example of his "humor":

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad phones President Obama's private line. Obama answers.

"Why are you calling me, Ahmadinejad? You know we're not ready for one-on-one talks."

"But Mahmoud and the mullahs worried about American election! We worry Obama will lose!"

"I'm not going to lose, you nut job. People love me here. I give them other people's money."

"But Mahmoud think Romney use Iran to score big points in debate. He scare people into thinking Iran developing nuclear weapons and that you not do enough to stop us!"

"That's not true. My sanctions are killing your economy and if anyone knows how to slow an economy, I'm your guy."
