- And Now For Something Else
I really wanted to get a post up here about something other than Obama Jesus McCain Palin God, and Microsoft has given me just the thing.
Thank you Bill Gates.
See if you can guess which substance was being abused that led to the creation of this commercial.
- The Separation of Palin and State
Religion has been all over this election in the most schizophrenic of ways. Of course, this is no surprise given the schizophrenic nature of religious belief itself. (God created everything, but nothing created God.)
Barack Obama is still the victim of a whisper campaign that he is a secret Muslim, even though that is [...]
- Police State
Wow, the news about the police state being perpetrated at the Republican Convention continues to be disturbing.
What is even more disturbing, though, is the deafening silence from the corporate media about the mistreatment of lawful protesters and journalists. Here’s a lame story from CNN about how the police used something that the reporter thinks [...]
- Awesome Circus-Going Dickweed
From Josh from Herbivore’s blog.
I am still often surprised by the other ‘members’ of my gender (he said member, dude), even though I really should not be at this point in my life. I guess surprised is the wrong word, then; how about disappointed? Yes, that’s probably more accurate. I am still disappointed by the [...]
- At First I Thought They Were Talking About Monty Python
But no, not Michael Palin. I see. Too bad.
Here’s the funniest thing I’ve read about her all day:
Governor Palin is leader of a state with less people than Multnomah County.
There are all kinds of things I could say about her, but I really doubt that McCain has any real chance of winning the [...]
- Atheists and Politics
I’ve been complaining in all of my various online venues this week about the overly-religious bent to the Democratic convention.
Fortunately, I’m not the only one. Here’s a good piece in the Washington Post and here’s the AU take.
Just to be clear, lest some troll leave some ill-conceived response, I have nothing against any individual [...]
- Look Out for that Church Van
Via Dr. Torres:
- Sign of the Cross
Steel cross from the WTC installed in PA.
And anyone on that flight, or anyone in the WTC or the Pentagon who died on 9/11 who was not Christian - who either practiced another religion or no religion at all - will forever be lumped, with no say in the matter, into the majority with this [...]
- Will Be Back Soon
I’ve been hanging out with StM celebrities Jason (forum moderator) and Jackie (the only podcast guest so far) this week as they’ve been in P-Town on vacation.
You can see three of our exciting Oregon adventures here.
They’ll be heading home tomorrow, and I’ll be sad to see them go. But that’s good news for the rest [...]
- One More Reason Rick Warren is Unqualified to Pick the President for Us
Rick Warren advises that you not vote for an atheist for President, from this article:
An atheist says, ‘I don’t need God,’” Warren said. “They’re saying, ‘I’m totally self-sufficient in myself,’ and nobody’s self-sufficient enough to be president — it’s too big a job.
Once again someone is maligning atheists in public for 1) no good reason [...]
