Back in June I wrote a post about an encounter I had with a pumpkinheaded asswipe in a DC convenience store, including an Ian Dury answer to Russ Timmert’s spitted question to my laughing at his fatuous asswipedness.
I watched the first hour of the Russ Timmert Show last night, with his guests, the candidates for […]

Obama said last night that he was prepared to be swiftboated about his name, especially after Romney “confused” him with Osama, the one in hiding with the beard. I have been thinking about what swiftboating is since several recent comments to some posts here have said that the swiftboating of Clinton has already begun. I […]

How was Dennis Kucinich a moron?
“You cannot be a president of the United States who’s wanton in his expression of violence,” Kucinich said. “There’s a lot of people who need care. He might be one of them. If there isn’t something wrong with him, then there’s something wrong with us. This, to me, is a […]

This was Round Seven. Christopher Dodd won, but it is too little, too late. Dennis-the-Menace Kucinich is a moron. Obama was South-Chicago lite, as I predicted below, and he blew his chance to start over. Hillary took the punches and she was left standing.

As Josh dishes below… no smackdown on Hilla, no respect for the Barack.  Let’s face it, the man is too scripted, too brittle.  When you’ve got the same skin shade as Joe Louis you ought to pack a knockout punch.  Nixon didn’t.  And he wasn’t any lighter than Joe Louis neither… It’s not about the […]

The Set-up: There is a great scene in the Irish-American gangster movie, The Road to Perdition, starring Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. Hanks, a trusted hit-man, is like a son to Newman. But when Hanks’ kid is an accidental witness to a roughing-up turned murder by Newman’s real son, played by Daniel Craig, Craig takes […]

The so-called “liberal” media (owned by conservatives) had a hissy fit when Michele Obama mentioned her husband’s morning breath and body odor.  They wanted her handlers to tape her mouth with duct tape, then bring out the Right Guard for hubby.  Now French president Nickolas “Sarko” Sarkozy gets the green weenie for walking out of […]

Religion is part of politics. After all, Jesus hung out with tax collectors, prostitutes, and chased the money-changers out of the temple. He also fed the poor and healed the sick. And then there was a debate about the death penalty and a later charge that one of Jesus’ disciples had been set-up.
Religion should not […]

Read it here.
The New York Times article to which this link points is long but well worth reading. To me–I grew up in a pious family then became an anthropologist–it rings true, both to what I learned to feel as a child and to what I learned to think in graduate school. The important message […]

Earlier this week I wrote, “Unbelief—or at the very least, a preference for the secular, and for the rational instead of the magical—continues its unstoppable march.” I still think that’s true, although an interesting AP story today indicates that we’ve got a long way to go. As we head into Halloween week, a new poll […]
