Watch out slamming those conflicting thoughts together inside your head! Wingnutties can do that pretty safely because of all the empty space inside their skulls.

I think Todd Starnes will probably be on as a pundit soon. That's his nickname, right?

OH! You mean the Serrano artwork! ...Nevermind

Wow, Roger Ailes is in for a surprise when he reviews the glass-desk leg-cam footage today!

Well, you just answered your own question.*

Of course, it raises another question: "How do you manage to get everyone a job"? One of the tough ones.

*Actually, I'm not sure how one would know that the rate of fundamentalist religious belief was lower in the '50s. The Silent Generation was big on outward conformity.

History would be a lot less messy if popes <i>had</i> worn condoms, so I'm guessing they had a point to make.

The fact that he showed up with nails in his pockets tells you all you need to know.

Or, more simply, they know what you ought to do . . . which is the only thing you have a right to do . . . ergo, they know what you have the right to do . . . ergo, freedom is the right to do what they tell you.

So simple, even a fundie can do it!

Infinitely greater. Every now and then, Meggles shows that there's a bright light under the Faux News basket. I keep wishing some other network would hire her and turn her loose.

Intolerance is intolerable, and should not be tolerated? Just trying to get straight what we're supposed to be intolerant of, even though it's intolerable.

I think it's the notion that there's a reward for being a murderous fuckwad that needs to killed off. That's the job of religious teachers, and it's a small number of nutbag imams who keep churning out a steady supply of eager jihadis. Put the worst of them out of business (and frankly, I don't care how it's done), and you'll improve the world considerably.

Too bad he's not near smart enough to understand that. His freedom of speech doesn't extend beyond the pendulous excrescence on the end of his nose.

So... If the US hadn't been so nasty to the Palestinians and gave weapons to Israel, then the whole '9/11' wouldn't have happened?
