Hey, there's also some Non-Ferguson news today! For instance, in Scottsboro, Alabama, Jackson County Commissioner Tim Guffey (R-like you need to ask), wants to include the Ten Commandments in a monument that already features the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, because, he says, the Ten Commandments are a historical document that, like the other two, are among our nation's founding documents and also too are
Well, they could just inscribe the most famous passage from Hobbes:
"In Alabama there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain, and consequently, no culture of the earth, no navigation, nor the use of commodities that may be imported by sea, no commodious building, no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force, no knowledge of the face of the earth, no account of time, no arts, no letters, no society, and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
I am located in a part of Florida close enough to fling a booger into Alabama. It's not news that southerners are adept at holding incompatible beliefs. This is one of the boldest ones, though: that AMERICA is the greatest country that God ever established, even greater than Israel, but half its citizens and most of its government are pure evil.
<blockquote>&ldquo;The Ten Commandments is a historical document and it has nothing to do with religion,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;It shows that these founders had great beliefs in God and the Ten Commandments and His Word...</blockquote>
That&#039;s an impressively quick turnaround on self-contradiction. He&#039;ll need to get it within the same sentence for the record, but for today it&#039;s good enough for gold.
God originally handed Moses the complete text of <i>Leviathan</i> on stone tablets, and Moses said, &quot;Dude, you gotta be kidding me!&quot; Negotiations ensued, and the result was the Ten Commandments, the movie version of which is hilarious by the way.
Pretty sure you still can&#039;t buy a drink in AL on Sunday, as I discovered to my dismay one evening before starting a project on Monday at Fort McClellan. Man that was a long evening.
Hey, hey now, cousin marriage isn&#039;t as wrong as you think it is. The US is the only Western country that prohibits it (in 30 states; it is fully legal in 20 states, including most of the East Coast and much of the Far West). It is legal in the rest of North America, all of South America, throughout Europe, the Middle East, North and South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Malaysia. The risk of bearing children with genetic defects is the same for first cousin marriages as it is for any woman who gives birth at age 41. (IOW, greater than zero, but just barely.)
If cousin marriage legality is a sign of redneck status, then states like NY, CT, MA and CA are redneck, while states like ID, MT, TX, OK, AR, MO, LA, KY and WV are not, and all of western Europe is redneck.

Also known as &quot;the <i>sane</i> President Bush,&quot; as opposed to the other one.
He&#039;s such a <i>needy</i> deity, isn&#039;t He?

He&#039;s flashing gang signs!

Zombie Thomas Jeferson wants to dope-slap this imbecile. Which commandment covers &quot;the pursuit of happiness&quot;?
He claims the Declaration and Constitution were based on the Ten Commandments. <i>Was he there?</i>
So stealing that.
Has he called Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore to see if he can buy Moore&#039;s monument? Cost-effective, doncha know.
