A Log Fit For Burning

I was unsure about the existence of the Nephilim until they opened their own YouTube account.

All the men’s toilets in the basement of the Coleman A Young Municipal Center are filled with feces and paper.

Mike Huckabee is introducing a wedge issue in Colorado declaring that every fertilized egg is to have the same rights as a living human being. Cenk Uygur can make fun of this better than I can, so here he is :

Expect a similar wedge issue to come to your town! If you’re worried about how two guys being able to marry each other might affect the value of your family, expect a bullshit gay marriage ban proposal! Flag burning epidemic in your town? They haven’t trotted that one out in a while. The most saddening part is that we keep electing people and passing laws based on things which have no bearing on our well-being as a country. Worried about family values? Then tend to your own family and your own values. Worried about children being born out of wedlock? Then teach people how to have safe sex. Give them condoms. Give everyone a dumpster full of condoms. Call it a ‘cum dumpster’. Worried about who’s buggering who behind closed doors? Get a goddamn life. Go bowling or something.

Right now downtown detroit smells like the time the sewer backed up in the basement.

John McCain says that the Iraq war will be over soon. Anyone who’s been paying attention knows why this is a lie : the war ended a long time ago. We set out to take out Saddam Hussein. Mission accomplished. The war is over. What we have in Iraq is an occupation. We are an occupying force. The ‘war on terrorism’ will never end because you cannot wage a war of ideas with guns any more than you can win a gunfight with a limerick. John McCain is not lying to you when he says that he intends for the sons and daughters of our country to be occupying Iraq for the next hundred years.

Do not elect this mummy or he will haunt us forever.

I could never understand why religious people want to censor everything. I understand why in the same sense that Rupert Murdoch understands it : “Control what people see and you control what they think. That’s why it’s called ‘programming’”. Richard Metzger said that, unless someone else said it first. I guess he still said it regardless. I could never understand it given their point of view, however. What I mean is this : if you truly believe (and I truly believe that most religious people are true believers) that you have the word of god made flesh, the truth, the way, god’s message, whatever, if it’s SO TRUE then it should stand up against all points of view. If I read and understand your sacred text, the word of the one true god, then I should be able to go explore any point of view and be exposed to every idea under (and over) the sun (son?) and the true word of god should stand head and shoulders above them all. There should be no chance of corruption once I have The Truth, right?

Pakistan is blocking access to YouTube because of anti-Muslim content. They’re afraid that their people will be exposed to DANGEROUS IDEAS. What idea could ever be dangerous once you have The Truth? Unless you’re afraid that you might not really have The Truth. To celebrate this concept, here’s Pat Condell :

Not to be thought of as knocking just one religion, here’s a less specific one :

There’s something very hilarious here :

There’s something very tragic here :

The world’s largest record collection is on Ebay.

It’s being replaced with the world’s largest ipod collection.

Scientists finally admit what I’ve been saying all along : a beer after a workout is better than water.

People should understand the origins of their food.

There shouldn’t be a disclaimer on this video any more or less than there should be a disclaimer on every hamburger wrapper.

143,000,000 pounds of meat have been recalled, but officials are saying that it’s probably been eaten. No use worrying about it now.
