Well, seeing as I (among many) am not interested in the partisan zelotry of the abortion threads or trying to beat my opinion down the throats of others and calling them names because I have a different view, I thought I'd post this quiz I picked up from a blog last Christmas. Though, I must admit, if you try to beat your opinion down my throat I will point out your churlish, vicious, facist behavior in no uncertain terms. After all, your absolutes are not likely my absolutes.

So, anyway, see how well you do on the American Fanatic test. So, without further ado, grab your pencils and paper and take the test. Read More

I wrote Levin yesterday. But, it didn't quell my outrage at his badgering of Galloway over he felt "remorse" if some contributor to one of his charities took a kick-back.

This is what I said:

The more I think about your question about the kickbacks yesterday, the angrier I get.

Have you no perspective? Have you lost your humanity? Between one-half and one million people died directly or indirectly because of these barbaric, over-the-top sanctions and you're worried about a kick-back?

What the hell is wrong with you? You need to appologize to MP Galloway and the American public.

Once again, science triumphs over religion.

WASHINGTON - Gay men's brains respond differently from those of heterosexual males when exposed to a sexual stimulus, researchers have found. The homosexual men's brains responded more like those of women when the men sniffed a chemical from the male hormone testosterone.

Read all about it here. I have nothing witty or charming to add to the piece. And I don't need to point out all the gay-bashing, right-wing fundamentalist bullshit that goes around the issue.

But, I am glad that, once more, we're finding biological differences between gays and straights. Maybe, if we're lucky, some day the Christian Taliban will accept them as people who were born the way they were born.

Of course, I'm a cynical bastard and don't think it'll happen in my lifetime. But, I think enough of the center will eventually accept gays and lesbians to the point of true equality. And the American Taliban can retreat back to the obscurity they deserve.

I like Whitehouse.org. It's a very funny satirical site.

This morning there's an April Fool's joke going on. I'm not sure who did it, (a Freeper hijacking or a put-on of a Freeper hijacking) but it's very Freeperlicious and catches the absolute essence of their dangerous stupidity. Intentional or not.

Those Wacky Intelligent Designers...

There's been a bit about Intelligent Design bandied about in some diaries. I, for one, think ID is a travesty and nothing more than disguised creationism.

But beyond the seriousness of the issues surrounding Intelligent Design, there's some serious, albiet unintentional, humor if you know where to find it...

(And for those who are offended I took my title and re-wrote it from "Those Wacky Evolutionists" at one of many pro-ID sites I occassionally go to for a laugh.) Read More

Over the years, the personally witnessed hypocrisy in religion has driven me from willing participation to passive acceptence to grudging tolerence to abhorence of organized religion. It seems anymore, no matter how bad you act, how irresponsible, how many times you hit on 16, how perverted, how terrible, how dishonest you may behave the flock will say "you're okay" if you're talking the talk and have a few crocodile tears to shed...

Meanwhile, perfectly normal people who are not subscribing to the particular beliefs of the creed are, frankly, scum. And, even in America, are all too frequently abused, or even killed, by these so-called "good Christian" people simply because they're different.

Which brings me to our latest hypocrite, from my current home town:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Agents with the FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force arrested a Christian radio station personality as part of a child pornography investigation.

This is the situation. Kerry is tied with Bush and there are three days to go.

10/27 - 10/29 Polls
Bush Kerry
Tipp 45 44
Zogby1 46 46
Zogby2 46 47
Ras 47.9 47.1
WaPo1 49 48
WaPo2 47 48
Fox 46 46

46.7 46.6

As I, and many others, have pointed out, time-after-time, the polls have a lot of inherent and probable biases against Kerry. They've been over-sampling Republicans. They over-sample "conservatives." They undersample young, minority and casual voters.

And with three days to go, Kerry is out-performing Gore by 3-to-4 points. BushCo has GOT to be shitting it's collective drawers. Read More
