I think it is critically important that politicians, whether running for office or to jail, be able to speak candidly about how god informs their lives, and how religion is also necessary for people to have a moral sense of right and wrong. Anyone who feels they need to know what such assertions actually mean is a party-pooper. It is enough to know that the word "god" can be bandied about like a shuttlecock at an indoor gym without resorting to finding out just what the politician means by invoking its use. How a candidate's church conducts itself, how unprovable assertions regarding the superiority of their religious beliefs elevate them above and beyond agnostics and atheists is what must be protected here!
Pastor Hagee and Reverend Wright, well, what they say has no bearing at all on anything, except that they do god's work by preaching and blessing babies and such. Anyone who suggests that the glorious and heart-warming declarations of fealty to god be looked at vis a vis the houses of worship attended by someone who claims that a Lord God is the alpha and omega of all, well, such a cynic is a heretic, and should be skinned alive, stoned to death and then spanked.
What kills me is that nobody traces this "gawd" shit back to its original source, Ronnie Ray-Gun's handlers, the uber-reich-wing megalomaniac trillionaires who've run this country for the past 30 years.
Distract the voters with bread and circuses and leave the gubmint up to the batshit-crazy jeebus freaks, right?
If the people of this country listened more to reality and their own guts than to the media, peer pressure, megachurch freaks and other sources who tell them to obey the invisible sky-fairies and to ENFORCE what they interpret to be the "will" of the invisible sky-fairies, then maybe they'd vote what they actually believe to be true, and not what their IRS-protected altars of money and molestation tell them to think.
Always have loved me some Non-Sequitur.

Lotta good comics on Monday. It also featured the return of Z-man.
As he said,"Do I have a dark side yet?" Maybe.

Hey, I don’t want to beat a dead horse here, but I have a question about the Rev. Wright controversy and Sen. Clinton’s, shall we say, efforts to take advantage of it. Doesn’t anyone remember Lani Guinier, whom Bill Clinton nominated for Attorney General back in 1996? Yes, like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton claimed he “wasn’t familiar” with Guinier’s writings (her infamous book Tyranny of the Majority was published two whole years before her nomination, so it’s no wonder Big Bill was unfamiliar with it …). Still, as I recall, Guinier’s writings were considered to be a wee bit radical at the time. Like advocating cumulative voting rights ’n such.
But at least she didn’t say “God damn America,” or quote a Fox News analyst who said “our chickens have come home to roost.”
Anywho, is there some reason nobody dares mention Lani Guinier when HRC clucks her tongue and says she’d a walked right outa that Trinity UCC if she had heard the evil Jeremiah Wright spouting his anti-American (oh, and let’s not forget … racist) filth?
Just curious, is all …

I'm waiting for the one on GWB:

Every job interview I've ever had seemed just like this. Which explains my employment history, which is slim.

I been waitin' for the fucking revolution for way too fucking long, but yeah, the first thing we do is, after hanging the war criminals/profiteers from long, slow, wet, stretchy ropes on the East Lawn, the first thing we do, see, is we drive all of the cults back where they belong --- UNDERGROUND.
Then they can REALLY pound that whole "martyrdom" meme into the fucking sewer rats and/or ground underground, BUT THIS TIME, they don't get rich off of it. Nope, no tax-free status for those fuckers ANYFUCKINGMORE, not even for the relatively-harmless wiccans or the outright-fucking-laughable satanists. Go home, back to yer basement, play some D& D and bitch 'cause your Mom won't let you throw parties... with all three of your fellow wizard-elf thingys.
And dear, beloved Anne, come 'round the house over there oneathesedays and we'll share job interview and job horror stories alllll damned day long. BYOB (I can't drink anymore, the fascist DEA & Pfizer & Eli Lilly & other associated drug-running scum BASTIDS) but we can shoot the shit about who needs shooting as long as ya wanna.
Then there's this stupid cunt "new girl" at my spine surgeon's (only 18 months of recovery left! Woo hoooo!!!) that I could bitch about alll fucking year, if it were worth the bandwidth. How fucking hard is it to refill a script for the DOSAGE THAT IT HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS???!?!?! I'm stepping down the narcs, trying to save whatever fucking brain cells I may have left, but on this one, they're trying to slip-in some HIGHER dosages!!! Drooling mouth-breathing fucktard, is what they're trying to do to me.
Which, yes, actually, WOULD be somewhat varied from my usual performances online. Believe it or not. But when they waste gas that I can't afford to go to the oh-so-fucking-evil Wally World pharmacy (which, generally, fucks-up less than the local judgemental-crackers drugstore up here) TWICE, I tend to take that shit personally. If I were pulling in five or six figures, no sweat, right? Oh, sure, I'd bitch about finding a parking spot for my Hummer, but I'd have no problems getting my private insurance to ALWAYS WORK, whereas them of us on the public tit tend to get the hind tit from our "healthcare providers."*
*excepting Good Spine Surgeon, Good PT folks (there are a couple of dumbasses, but the majority are wonderful) and whatever pharmacists or pharmacological techs DON'T fuck up my life. I'll let you know when I've found one.

Annti, the solution to the cult leaders is to give them the martyrdom they espouse. Joan-of-Arc style works for me. If they do it, they're saints! And if they decline, defrock them as poseurs.

Hmmm... I don't have to stick around and serve the BBQ buffet, do I? I don't like eating xians, they're generally too fatty and very little protein, and no matter how many of THEM that you eat, they NEVER return the fucking favor!
(bah-dum-bump!)
When I've got more time, remind me to tell you about how I plan to end prison recidivism... After we get Jimmy Swaggart a four-bunk suite on death row...
