"Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt" will tell the story of Jesus' early years in his own words.
What with the rapture coming an all. Bush seems pretty hell bent on destroying the environment before leaving office. Asshole.
I was listening to Sean Hannity on the way home from work yesterday (I do that sometimes just to amuse myself) and he had Ann Coulter on to explain her "ordeal" in Texas last week. How he pried his lips off the cock of the runaway bride "story" I'll never know. But anyway, Coulter was on her cell phone so Hannity suggested she come back on Monday to tell her story. Coulter said she wasn't sure if she could make it, but that they would talk about it on IM that night. I'm not sure why this bothered me so much, but there really isn't much that could disturb me more than a latenight chat session with Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter.
Well, after seeing that Kansas was looking into teaching "intelligent" design, I really thought that the people there must not understand what the word science means.
My bad, because they actually want to change the definition of science to more closely fit their beliefs. Wow, that's convenient. Why not just change the definition to "the search for god." Even by their new definition, I don't see "intelligent" design fitting in anywhere. I suspect they think it fits in the "logical argument" part, but I think they must have also changed the definition of logical, then.
Good! Not that I'm for people defacing any public property, but in this case, I think it works out well for everyone. Now people don't have to go look at a stain on the wall and think they're having some religous experience, and the rest of us don't have to hear about it anymore. Look, I dont care if you're religous, I don't care if you think that stain looked like the Virgin Mary (even though it actually looked like a vagina), but I cannot in any way understand people who felt the need to go light candles or bring flowers to it. Anyway, we're all better off with the thing gone.
Now, if someone would just eat that sandwich.
Whenever I watch this show, all I can think of is that those cars are just begging to get stolen, or at least broken into. They put these outrageous paint jobs on them that make them easily identifiable to any criminals who may happen to watch MTV, so they know if they see this car it's got thousands of dollars of electronics inside. I would think this would be a problem for the owners of these cars. I wonder how many of them have been broken into. I wonder if their insurance rates go up after they get pimped.
Inspired by The Disgruntled Chemist who was inspired by Shakespeare's Sister, who was inspired by After School Snack, I am participating in De-Lurking Week. I don't think I have many lurkers, but let's find out.
So, you readers who never comment - who are you? Why don't you comment? Don't you have anything to say? Out with it already.
And thanks for reading, I'm still not sure why anyone does.
Insurgency? In Afghanistan? I thought Afghanistan was our model for successfully spreading freedom across the globe. Apparently, things aren't quite as rosy there as we are led to believe. Maybe if we had stayed there (in force) until the job was finished before running off to Iraq to look for imaginary threats, we really could have done something there that we could all be proud of. But I guess pretending it's great over there is just as good, as long as most people believe it, and not nearly as difficult.
Maybe next week, they can have hearings about whether or not they should continue to teach gravity. This would be funny to me if it weren't so sad.
"Public science education is an institution," said Bill Harris, a University of Missouri-Kansas City professor of medicine and intelligent design advocate. "It appoints a teacher to be a referee among ideas.
"Nobody would tolerate a football game where the referee was obviously biased."
Is there anything in this war that has been managed properly? Even if you support the war, how the hell can anyone support the way this administration is running it? From lying to get us into it, to lying about how much it would cost, to torturing prisoners, to losing millions of dollars. Isn't this the second time they've lost a fuckload of money over there? Assholes.
This is such a fucking non-story that it makes me sick, but since it's the only thing being covered, I'll go ahead and give my thoughts on it. It looks like a lot of people think she should pay for the cost of searching for her, and at first, I thought that sounded fair, since she lied about being abducted and all. But, as I thought about it, she didn't lie about being abducted until after all the hoopla surrounding the search for her (which I blame the "news" channels for). Maybe if such a big deal had not been made of her dissapearance, then she wouldn't have felt the pressure to lie in the first place. And if she had not lied, the city still would have spent the money looking for her. She has no obligation to tell anyone where she's going or call anyone when she gets there. Sure it would be the nice thing to do, but it's not against the law for a grown woman to run away from home. Now, if they want to prosecute her for some sort of false police report or something for her made up abduction, I think that's fair. But if they're looking to stick someone with the bill for the search, they should go talk to Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly.
Also, could we stop being outraged when people make up criminals who are minorities. Honestly, there are plenty of real instances of racism to be concerned with that I just don't see the need to worry about whether a woman who went crazy and ran away blamed it on imaginary hispanics, or a woman who drowns her children blames it on imaginary black people. That aspect of the latter case really bugged me since there were way bigger reasons to hate that woman (like drowning those two cute little boys) than the fact that she might be a racist. Just please stop demanding apologies from these people, what good does that really do?
Well, I guess that depends on your definition of legitimate.
...Graner testified that three pictures he took of England holding a naked prisoner on a leash were meant to be used as a legitimate training aid for other guards.
Dear David Stern:
As commissioner of the NBA, I realize that you can't tolerate coaches and players criticizing the officiating, as it really calls into question the integrity of the game. Especially when the coach suggests that he had contact with an official the way Jeff Van Gundy did. So I fully support harsh penalties for this offense.
However, another thing that may help to alleviate this problem in the future is to stop having officials who suck. The officiating in the NBA has sucked for at least the last 10 years. Now, I realize it is a tough game to call. I know that you can't call every foul, or get every call correct. However, fouls should never be called on people who cleary didn't touch anyone, and officials should be able to recognize when a player is out of bounds. I'm not sure the best way to fix this problem, but there are ways you could try. Instant Replay in certain situations could be used. You could have some system for evaluating officials (if you have one now, start over, because it sucks). You could add another offical. There are ways to fix this problem. Making Jeff Van Gundy pay a stiff fine may be appropriate, but it only addresses a symptom of the bad officiating, and does nothing to cure the problem.
I realize you're never going to make everyone happy, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't at least try.
How long 'til some "Culture of Life" nutjob suggests that this could have been Terri Schiavo? I would say it wouldn't take long, except that they've all seemed to have forgotten that story already.
Now, if we could just get people to realize these things a little fucking sooner. Seriously, lately the only thing that makes me madder than the crazy wingnuts who are 100% behind this war are the people were sort of behind it back when they thought we were fighting terrorists and eliminating the threat of Saddam blowing us all up, but now that they know what's really going on, aren't behind it anymore. As glad as I am that these people have come around to recognize the fact that the war was a bad idea, I'm just as mad that it took these morons all this time to realize it. It's not like things were going any better before the election. If you're unhappy with the war and you voted for Bush, I wonder what the fuck you expected. Must be all those "can't change horses in midstream" people. As stupid as the hardcore war supporters are, at least they know what the fuck they want. If you weren't sure what was going on in the world before you cast your vote, would it have killed you to find out? Or maybe just don't vote if you don't know what the hell you're voting for. But if you're upset about this war, as these polls seem to show, then make sure not to make the same fucking mistakes in 2006, or 2008.
What exactly is fun about making the wheels of your car spin around while not moving? It makes noise and smoke...whoopee! Go buy some fireworks. Are people really this easily amused? And not just this easily amused, but this easily amused and also so desperate for that amusement that they ignore the risks? Not to mention that it's probably really, really bad for the tires. I wonder how people can possibly stupid enough to think something like this is fun, but then I see what the kid's father had to say about it:
''Accidents happen," Pettinelli's father, Robert, told WBZ-TV yesterday. He said he was relieved that his son was not hurt.
anything that happens by chance without an apparent cause
An unforeseen and unintended event
I wonder how the administration manages this, really. That's one fucking delicate balance they've got to maintain. On the one hand, we have to believe that we've wiped out 70% of Al-Qaeda and that we're winning the War on Terror and that the fact that we haven't been attacked since 09/11/2001 is a testament to the great job they are doing with Homeland Security, but on the other hand they want us to know that Al-Qaeda is still "very active" and that we should constantly be in fear of the next attack. I don't know how they manage to reconcile these two confilcting postions, or how the freaking media doesn't call them out on it, or how half of the country buys this bullshit without subjecting it to at least a little fucking common sense first.
I hate to say it, but this is what happens when kids are raised by same sex parents. They grow up to be...Major League Baseball players. Oh, the horror. The next thing you know this guy is going to be taking steroids, and it all could have been avoided if people had just believed in the sanctity of marraige.
Why don't they start giving the Heisman Trophy to players who are actually good? I know, it sounds silly, but they used to do it occaisionally. Tony Dorsett, OJ Simpson (yeah, but he was a good player), Tim Brown, Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, Marcus Allen, Roger Staubach, these guys all won it, so it's not like they give it out exclusively to people who suck, although it's starting to look that way lately. Arguably the best guy to get in in the last 15 years quit football so he could smoke pot. Yeah, I know, it's a college award, so the fact that these guys go on to suck shouldn't matter as long as they produce in college, but look at the list over the last 15 years. How many of these guys were honestly the best player in college football? Maybe three or four, maybe.
Furthermore, her lame ass attempt at being funny is not newsworthy. I know it's going to be reported on, especially considering who the audience was, but it's been three days already, this story should have gone away by now. And please, it you must keep reporting on this crap, stop sucking up to this woman. Having people politely laugh at some really lame jokes at a dinner is not the same as being a comedienne. If she did the same jokes at a third rate comedy club on amateur night, she would have had things thrown at her before being booed off the stage. So let's stop pretending that just because she told jokes that they were automatically funny.
This and some woman who ran away from her wedding are the biggest stories in the world right now, at least according to what our "news" stations are covering. That's pretty fucking sad. Oh, and of course there's that 15 pound hamburger.
What the fuck? You mean changing the background color of text isn't good enough to make it unreadable? Wow, who would have thought that. These computers are so hard to figure out.
Too bad this is in Canada, if it was here in the US, I'm sure Congress would jump right on it and pass some law specifically for this girl. Then they could drag her in and strap her down and Bill Frist could give her his own blood. And they could do it in a live broadcast to our nations churches.
I didn't realize there was an astronaut Hall of Fame. Now, I'm all for recognizing these people, that's a pretty scary job that takes a lot of hard work and skill. But do we really need a Hall of Fame for them? Isn't it already a pretty fucking elite group. And what does that say to the ones who aren't in the Hall of Fame? And other than being in the Hall of Fame, how does this distinguish them from other astronauts? I just don't get it.
Yeah, like this is the biggest problem in society today, and what we should be focusing our outrage on. Even if you think the word ass is too harsh to be on a public sign (which is just a little bit ridiculous), aren't there more important things to worry about in the world? If you don't like this coffee shop, then shut the fuck up, stop causing controversy that will no doubt help them. Also, if a company is based in fucking Utah, and that bunch of prudes doesn't have a problem with the name, then people in Florida really don't have any reason to be upset. Aren't there bigger problems to deal with in Florida? A lot of the rest of the country laughs at us already, why do we need to make it any worse?
