Schindlers’ List for sale

March 31st, 2005

Terri Schiavo supporters, you’ve got mail! Was this supposed to take the sting out of the outcome, or something?


Heh

Heh.


Right to life. Yeah, right.

Here is a good reason to fight against the right wing: they attract more murderous nutjobs than liberals do. You see pro-lifers killing doctors and bombing clinics, you see liberals whine and dither about crap (like I’m doing now). But the right wing, they should take a closer look at some of their fellow travellers. [...]


I got chills reading this

Everyone should read this entry on my besht mate Chris’ page. Everyone should just generally read his page, anyway. Yow, man.


And sometimes, churches surprise you and do the right thing

March 23rd, 2005

What with the shrill, juvenile crowd that is the most vocal religious group in the US (Christian fundamentalists), one forgets that there are religious people, indeed whole churches of them, that are capable of taking a moral stand for what’s right, even in the face of their friends.

…it’s a real sign of cultural apocalypse when Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken are selling songs at such a brisk pace. Little corporate demon larvae, they are. “Yes, I find resonance in a musical message focus-grouped to appeal to my demographic. Text me about it sometime. CUL8R” Where’s my Dokaka? My brane needs scrubbing.


Ichiro!

March 22nd, 2005

Not that spring training means a damn thing, but I can only point out that Ichiro is hitting .529. Correction: he went 4-for-4 today, and is now hitting .579. Only 12 games, but still.


Creationists are still at it

March 21st, 2005

Thanks to Foster for the link. This Washington Post article outlines the latest strategies of the religious right, in laying the foundations for anti-Darwinist pseudo-science. And they admit it, that’s exactly what they’re doing, they’re taking the long view, trying simple and subtle measures to gradually insert religion here and there, a FUD campaign against [...]
