Christian terrorist attempts car-bombing in Iowa and gets charged with 2nd-degree arson. Class C felonies are punishable by imprisonment of not more than 10 years and a fine between $1000 and $10,000 under Iowa law. If he were a Muslim he would be left indefinitely in Guantanamo Bay or shipped to another country for "interrogation".

I have opinions about things. I tend to make run-on sentences, I justify that by claiming it's some beat author sort of thing. (it is not) If you are interested in what I think or are looking for something to argue with me about. This is a good place to find those things. Also, blogs are lame.

Grrr... Try to speak properly
There is no such thing as over exaggerating stop saying that. Some pseudo intellectual said it on NPR today . The word exaggerating is enough to cover everything above and beyond the truth or detail so stop now.
Boy they hate the way Cliton nailed them. or Condi Rice-Super Liar
What happens when one of the republican flunkies (FOX News) tries to slam a former Prez then not only gets themselves called out but also gets the current administration called out as well ? Lie about what he said. Here is the actual report. That pesky evidence.

Reading is fundamental (Not for our so called leaders)
"I haven't read it," Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said yesterday when asked his opinion of the once-secret April 2006 National Intelligence Estimate. His excuse -- the document was classified -- is a little shaky. Frist is a member of the "Gang of Eight," a group of top lawmakers who are briefed on the darkest secrets of American intel.

WTF? Abc Family censored Wonka
I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this evening on ABC Family and something was missing. They completely removed the boat scene. What the hell is up with that? Too scary chicken decapitation issues who knows . The TV police just suck in general. The terrible edits and overdubs are really unnecessary and just plain wrong (remember the made up word scumbum in Smokey and the bandit. Perhaps we should put some clothes on paintings of nudes (yes that has been done as well). Really even when I was little I knew what they were really saying. That was bad enough but removing whole scenes that it really ridiculous. While I am going I also saw another really bad bit of censorship, I was watching Tom and Jerry with my 4 year old and every time the black lady ,who I always assumed was Tom's owner, came on the screen her voice had been overdubbed with some modern woman's voice replacing what I can only assume was considered racist or portraying black folks in a negative light. First, even if the voice of the character portrayed a stereotype or what the fuck ever it was from the 40s, damn. Maybe we should go ahead and remove all unflattering images, sounds, stereotypes or whatever from the past then we can all just be blissfully ignorant. Nevermind the big axe Tom tries to chop Jerry up with or the smashing on the head or the blowing each other up or getting run over or the,or the,or the,or the. If the cartoon or art or whatever is going to offend someone (the sponsor most likely) and that is a concern then just don't fucking show it. You know what is really offensive is the children's programming that condescends to kids or has characters that cant even speak properly (Elmo, rugrats, wonderpets) someone should censor that crap, damn give a kid some credit for not having a speech impediment or being able to think. Oh wait that's my job as a parent oh that's right I control what my kid sees not some corporate entity who isn't really interested in protecting or teaching kids but how much money they can make. OK , I got a little off track, what I wanted to say was , Damn that is some bullshit how ABC Family messed up Willy Wonka they shouldn't do that.

I love Religion
Sunday School Teacher Dismissed Because She's A Woman?
Timothy 2:11 -14 "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner."

Questions to Ponder
1. If you suspected you were deluded, how could you find out for sure?
2. Are humans the product of a skilled or an unskilled designer?
3. Would an omnipotent being need to think in the way that people understand it? or is thinking unnecessary for a timeless, indestructible being whose preferences are the same as reality?
4. Why would God be so unclear about what book or books he authored?
5. Is conciousness anything more than a continual process of imagining, acting, observing the impact of the action, and imagining again with the new information?
6. The dictionary defines "faith" as belief without ecidence. It Defines "stupidity" as unreasoned thinking. Is belief without evidence a form of unreasoned thinking?
7. Can the impact of your actions rippling into the future be considered an immortal soul?
8. Could atheists and believers accept the same definition of God?
These Questions are from The Religion War by Scott Adams

Ultra Conservatives Idea of Dangerous Knowledge
First, this site is hilariously sad. These people are completely insane. Here is their list of what they consider the most harmful books of the 20th century, because as we all know knowledge is dangerous. Wait but School House Rock said "Knowledge is Power". Who do you trust I would go with the cartoons. It looks like if you subscribe to their magazine you even get a free Ann Coulter book. OOOH that is too good the site listing 10 most dangerous books will give you a free Ann Coulter book. Man that is rich. The last book on the list talks according to Human Events is about how the liberal who wrote it (in 1936 no less) advocates running up debt and ,borrowing and spending to stimulate the economy. Wait,Wait doesn't that sound familiar ......Who was it that did that....Recently hmmmm....... These people are moronic.

Who am I Tipper.......Fuck
Man so I work at this Residential Home for Kids who did bad things and or had bead things done to them SO..... I am in the unpleasant spot of censoring music ,spending time deciding what is appropriate etc . Fortunately for me it is easy because most of the kids that live there seem to want to listen to the horrible talent free R&B and Rap that is popular now (danger curmudgen alert) Man I like rap hip hop etc but isnt it a disgrace to even call this shit music ,even the musical stuff that somehow gets labeled R&B apparently if a black person sings it it is R&B but it is really foul to class this vile crat along side classic R&B. And, rap/hip hop had really gone in the toilet I mean repeating one broken sentence or phrase over and over on top of a beat is not rapping nor is it hip hop it is shit. The best part is near all of it is talking about how pimp and awesome these guys are and how they are the shit when there is no indication that they ever did anything but get lucky enough to make a record . These guys truly suck . So, in regards to the censoring all they "rap" or sing about is how they are gonna give it to some bitch or how many bitches that have or of course the dope they slanging or how they do it crunk style or allusions to the gang they are affiliated with (real or imagined) . So these guys I work with in some cases were rapists vicims of rape,crack babies etc so thinking this shit is cool is just not helpful at all. and I seem to be the one who gets to tell them this and explain it over and over and that sucks. OF course my reward for this is being labeled a racist . Well, if anyone else especially a black person had the balls to point this shit out in public thenmaybe that would stop. Shit if they start listening to something really hardcore I will hit them for that. Once I did have to tell a staff not to rock Slayer (Who is one of my favorite metal bands by the way) so that was nice. Maybe if people would stop giving their music dollar to a bunch of barely literate asses that do nothing but popularize all that is bad with the black community and give some to some intelligent hip hop artists the general public would have a better view . We need the Native Tongue Family back. Plus maybe it would make my job easier too and that is really all I want...

Why no one ever seriously talks about impeaching Bush
While it seems obvious to anyone with any sense that the president should be impeached he seems to have a brilliant strategy regarding the possibility. He had to know that we would never impeach him being that we would then be stuck with Dick and even if we got rid of him as well it gets even worse as you travel down the list. We would have to get rid of pretty much the entire executive branch. While Mr. Bush is absolutely the worst president of all time could you imagine what those in line below him would do. Condoleezza is fourth and Donald is sixth.

Couple Pays $32,000 Fine With Dollar Bills
Frustrated by their experience with Temple Terrace code enforcement, D.J. and Susan Halligan paid a $32,000 lien in $1 bills. I wish I had thought of that. Many local codes are selectively enforced at best.
