Listen atheists, I appreciate and understand your position. When your lawsuits successfully remove religious symbols – mainly Jesus and the 10 Commandments – you count a victory. Indeed, allowing the state to endorse, or even seem to endorse, a specific religion can be dangerous – so much so that followers of religion should argue to prevent their own religion from being endorsed. It’s so important because if the state is willing to promote your religion, that means one day it may switch to another, or highjack the authority your religion might give over its followers.

His condition is called “locked in syndrome.” It’s probably the worst thing imaginable. A good neurologist can diagnose it base on a neurologic exam. It’s been known about for decades. I would rather get polio. Read more...(295 words, 3 images, estimated 1:11 mins reading time)
What’s holding Obama up on this Afghanistan decision? I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the past few MONTHS but this is getting ridiculous. I’m starting to think this big long stall is just a process of appeasing his base. He wants the eventual decision to send more troops to seem extra double well thought out, as though he agonized and studied every other possibility. And he trapped himself during the campaign by demonizing Mc Cain’s support of Iraq and calling Afghanistan the “good war” – before the surge cleared up Iraq and before Afghanistan fell apart.

My chef’s knife. I use it two of three times a day everyday and haven’t really cut myself in like five years, so I was due, and getting arrogant. About a week ago, I was cutting up some lettuce and baby green really fine for the salad I like to make, just chopping away, feeding the lettuce in, and suddenly I felt the numb feeling of a slice. It wouldn’t stop bleeding unless I kept pressure on it, so I wrapped it tight with a bandaid and slept with it elevated. It had stopped by morning. I found the piece… LOL Read more...(141 words, 2 images, estimated 34 secs reading time)

Get sick from the swine flu vaccine? Suckers… They should watch Bill Mahr. Then they’d know that only stupid people are getting the vaccine. They’d also know that pregnant women especially should avoid the flu vaccine and only unhealthy people have serious problems with swine flu.
It could very well be the only thing standing between the world and another disasterous flu pandemic. I hope this influence is limited. I got the vaccine Monday. That kind of reminds me of an incident a few years ago in Michigan when an unnamed, mildly retarded radio personality made the claim that childhood vaccinations are responsible for autism, despite the volume of evidence to the contrary. There was like a minipanic, and I heard from more than one religious family that they weren’t going to vaccinate their kids, out of fear of autism. I love free speach, but I don’t love loud ignorance.
According to this article in the Boston Globe, there is mass confusion over counting the amount jobs created or saved by the use of stimulus money. Most groups reported jobs for workers that had not been hired yet, and for work that had yet to start. 90 jobs were reported as “created” when 150 people got a cost of living increase. The Democrats are saying they expected confusion and a shake out, but that the numbers would get increasingly accurate as time went on. This knowledge of inaccuracy certainly did not stop the Obama Administration from claiming that the stimulus has saved or created 640,000 jobs – something we now know (and guessed all along) is wildly exaggerated.
