“Freedom is measured by the distance between church and state”
This scares the shit outta me: John McCain’s running mate is part of the Dominist movement.
This is not just an issue of her personal religion. She is as bad (or worse) than Huckabee and cannot be allowed to sit in a position of authority over the entire country. Can you imagine how America will fall [...]
I am watching, with a touch of anxiety, the computer models and forecast map for Hurricane Gustav. I am glad that it doesn’t appear to be coming to the Houston area, but I am concerned for those living in south-central Louisiana. Even so, I will continue watching and waiting to see what happens.
What confuses me, [...]
Yes, John McCain is CLEARLY out of his mind!
Read Paul Begala’s commentary.
HIs parting shot is excellent:
For months, the McCainiacs have said they will run on his judgment and experience. In his first presidential decision, John McCain has shown that he is willing to endanger his country, potentially leaving it in the hands of someone who [...]
A lot of people are flocking to the Republican “pro-life” position.
BULL-FUCKING-SHIT
No, seriously, the term “pro-life” is actually a lie, and a masquerade for ANTI-ABORTION. It’s a “code phrase”.
One would think that the opposite of pro-life would be anti-life, which is totally dumb. Hardly anyone is actually anti-life. But these damned fucking ignorant fools use [...]
First off…
Obama ACED his acceptance speech last night. If you missed it, you can find the complete text here at Daily Kos. He was WONDERFUL, and said what needed to be said. It was definitely a historical moment, and one that will be remembered a long time.
On the other hand, I just heard that McCain [...]
This issue has been discussed at length for at least the last month. The minister in charge of the DNC decided to have an Interfaith gathering as part of the opening ceremonies of the Democratic National Convention. Secularists asked if any atheists would be invited to speak as well, since there are many atheists, agnostics, [...]
Today is Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Three years ago this evening we heard that Hurricane Katrina was bearing down on us in New Orleans, and she hit just east of New Orleans on August 29, 2005.
And as of this moment, the latest projected path for Hurricane Gustav (and right now it is just a tropical [...]
Well, duuh…. this isn’t anything new. But putting it on a poster seems to offend a few people.
This was put up at Loraine County Community College, and stirred up a bunch of people, who said things like:
“You can’t portray Jesus like that. He believes in matrimony, that relationships like that should be done inside matrimony,” [...]
then you aren’t doing it right!
NObody goes through life without pissing off at least a few people. And my comments about the Duggars apparently pissed off one MikeP, who wrote:
I feel sorry for you and your ignorance. Almost without fail, the comments in this post are inaccurate and are mostly downright wrong. [...]
And today is one of those days. So just go ahead and laugh
After my post about the Duggars, Susan asks
what’s wrong with shopping at Wal-mart?
The obvious first answer is that shopping at Wal-Mart gives money to Wal-Mart. Duh. And we don’t want to give them any more money than they already have. Duh.
But why do we need to actively resist shopping at Wal-Mart? [...]
We definitely DO NOT NEED FOUR MORE YEARS OF THE SAME OLD TUNE…

I know I’ve written about this before, but now there’s yet another (horrendous) chapter in the Duggar Family. This is one of those Quiver Full families — popping out babies one after another, for the SOLE purpose of raising up an army of God. The QF families reject any kind of birth control [...]
This article shows how one teacher in Florida is making a positive difference, inspite of all the idiots in that unfortunate state. Under Florida law now, the teaching of evolution will be required. Students MUST be able to understand it. They don’t have to believe it. Science isn’t a matter of faith or belief, but [...]
but David Davis and his bunch is! He was (WAS) the principle of a high school in Ponce de Leon, FL.
When a high school senior told her principal that students were taunting her for being a lesbian, he told her homosexuality is wrong, outed her to her parents and ordered her to [...]
For years and years, there were certain situations for which a common response was “that’s great, but Hallmark doesn’t even make a card for that!”
Well, now they do!. Hallmark has just announced new cards to honor Same Sex Marriages! How cool is that!
And, right on their heels, comes the fools at the American [...]
I was forwarded this picture the other day.
Apparently this “Rev. E. F. Briggs” doesn’t know what America is about. God is not for America, and America is not for God. America is NOT a Christian country. Never was, never will be. Why do preachers (and politicians) continue to mix them [...]
Ricky Martin just became a father, with a surrogate mother delivering twin boys.
UHHH…. nobody knows about a mother-figure in the picture. Did he just buy a couple eggs on the way home and then hire someone to hatch him a couple bambinos???
Ricky Martin, originally famous for being in the boy-band “Menudo”, grew up to [...]
Westminster Exorcist Says Promiscuity can Lead to Demonic Possession
This is just wrong.
A priest of Westminster, the leading diocese of the Catholic Church of England and Wales, has written that promiscuity, whether homosexual or heterosexual, can lead to dire spiritual consequences, in addition to the dangers to physical health.
Promiscuity, as well as homosexuality and pornography, says [...]
My brother and I grew up with Hydrox cookies, and this morning on the Early Show, Harry Smith announced that Hydrox cookies are coming back for a limited time to celebrate their 100th birthday. The cookie has been retired for several years, so I will be looking for them when they show up in my [...]
