Political correctness
a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Twitter Detritus (02-10)

Another month’s worth of mental flotsam and jetsam in tweet-sized bites:

01 – Choice between cabbage rolls and hot yoga. Culinary bliss won out over karmic bliss. Maybe I’ll do 2 classes Wednesday night.
02 – The temp job is kinda mindless and repetitive but I’m OK with that right now. Doing it for a living? Probaby [...]

DIY Dryer Vent

For some reason either the builders or the guy who flipped the house before I bought it thought it would be a great idea for the dryer to vent straight up through the roof, never considering the possibility that the average household clothes dryer probably doesn’t produce enough air pressure to send all that [...]

Facebook & Media Detritus

Seen on FaceBook recently:

Voter’s Remorse – Happens after voting for Obama.
While it’s true that I’m disappointed by his first year in office, I’m still waiting for all the change that was promised and it seems to be the same shit with a different face, I don’t regret voting against a McCain-Palin presidency. The [...]

A Christian Nation?

Is the USA a Christian nation? No, it is not. If every citizen of the United States was a Christian then it would be a true statement. However, there are many other faiths other than Christianity in this country and to call ourselves a Christian nation belittles those of other faiths and makes a mockery [...]

Kitchen Light

Over the weekend I picked up a cheap light fixture to replace the aging and sometimes not working florescent light in my kitchen. Today I removed the old fixture and once again marveled at the half-assery that is common to all Huber Homes. The electrical box was somehow tacked to the ceiling joist and contained [...]

Does Asana bring me closer to God?

In response to my Facebook note, Adho Mukha Svanasana, a Christian friend provided a link to Random Thoughts of a Confused Xtian in which Confused Christian posted the following:

Could never quite figure out how maneuvering your body into the crouching cricket position brings you any closer to God.

I’d rather pray and not worry about physically [...]

Tiger Woods, Apology Accepted

Another meaningless Facebook poll: After Tiger Woods’ apology, do you forgive him?

I have two questions regarding this. One, why does Tiger Woods owe me an apology? Second, does he really need my forgiveness?

Tiger Woods has done nothing to cause me harm, grief or offense. Yeah, he was unfaithful to his wife and slept around with [...]

Christianity & Buddhism

I found this fascinating and enlightening discussion at Sweep the dust, Push the dirt: Open Forum: Can Christian and Buddhist Practices Mix?

Here are some excerpts I pulled out of the discussion:

When we externalize, and in my opinion, “personalize” the god-concept, we begin that slippery slope into attachment, delusion, and self-deprecation.
Christianity…is a religion based upon [...]

Naked Pizza

A few days ago somebody entered the words “naked pizza” into a search engine and landed on this blog, probably finding my post of 29 September 2008, No shirt, no pants, no pizza in which I commented on a news article about a man who was denied service at a pizzeria while wearing only a [...]

Moral Nudity?

Technorati Tags: morality,nudity,sin,temptation

Here’s a search term that led someone to my naturist blog: moral nudity. I’ve been trying to figure out how these words might go together but I haven’t found a connection. Moral is not an adjective you can logically use to modify the noun nudity. Nudity is neutral, neither moral nor immoral, good [...]
