Interesting approach…


The real story here is a self-described atheist couple behaving very unethically. But what I found remarkable was the quote at the end:
He added that a special ceremony would be held to purify the confession box.
What kind of ceremony gets up that kind of stuff, anyway? If it’s my confession booth, I’m going [...]

At the Death House Door


We’re probably going to have to wait on this to hit DVD. I doubt a Chattanooga theatre will run it.  But anyway… the trailer will follow.  Not before a note about a recent study re-confirming the ongoing racism in the death culture. Nothing in the study or in my own experience helps me discern [...]

If our orbit wuz elliptical


We’d all be dead.
Oh no! Wait! This is terrible news. I guess now that we’re all dead, biologists will never explain how our feet evolved the ability to stick to gravity!
But, seriously, folks… It’s pretty obvious that the line of reasoning that the producers of Expelled mangle so badly is the “fine tuning” argument, and [...]

Next


Over the next few weeks, we’ll all figure out that the Democratic Party nominee for POTUS is Barack Obama.
Then, over the following months, we’ll all figure out that John McCain is the next POTUS. That’s unless 51% of us figure out that John McCain will govern in exactly the same manner as 71% of [...]

Conservatism Distilled? (Pt 2)


… Unlike the quote that inspired part 1 of this series, both the quote I’m interested in now, and the analysis from John Hawkins’ article do seem to represent conservative thought of the past decade or three accurately. I am skipping ahead a bit in the article, but I do intend to deal with all [...]

Wright Update


This helps. Probably not enough… Hold on to your wallets - the current economic crisis is just going to gather speed under McCain. Two side notes — 1) It’s good to see the kind of religion where the parishioners aren’t afraid to call their preachers out for nonsense. 2) Chuck B. - I feel [...]

Reason# 413 McCain will be the next POTUS…


… and our long national nightmare will continue…
Barack Obama’s pastor.
It’s a shame really. I wonder if Jeremiah Wright will get a footnote when “The Decline and Fall of…” book is written.
Update: I should add… the focus of this post is about the weird cultural reasons that this country will continue to self-destruct [...]

A tale of a fateful trip…..


Mary Ann has been busted.
My understanding is that she had three roaches in the ashtray.
C’mon Mary Ann. These ain’t filterless Camels we are talking about here. Get a clip for crying out loud.
I think she got 5 days and a $410.50 fine for “reckless driving”. According to the report she swerved and was then observed to be [...]

Client #9


You know Elliot Spitzer is kind of a folk hero on the left. There was no reason, prior to yesterday, that he couldn’t have aspired to the White House, rather than the Big House.
Now, I personally think that prositution should be handled differently by our society than it is. It’s an evil, [...]

Pelosi on McCain/Hagee


Here:
“That behavior is outside the circle of civilized debate in our democracy,” Pelosi said during a Thursday conference call. “I certainly think John McCain should reject his endorsement and I’m sure it won’t be long before he does.”
I’ve checked back, and it appears that these folks at Red State do not feel that John McCain’s [...]
