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.

It's so stupid, it might just work

Facebook poll: Can the USA spend its way out of debt?

It makes about as much sense as keeping your virginity by having sex, protecting our children from child pornography by making them child pornographers, preserving freedom by curtailing civil liberties and Constitutional rights, and the ever popular concept of picking up a turd by the [...]

Jesus

I’ve answered a couple of polls regarding religious topics on Facebook recently. The questions were “Did Jesus Christ exist?” and “Should we keep ‘Christ’ in Christmas?” I’ll address each one separately.

Did Jesus Christ exist?

I have no reason to doubt that Jesus of Nazareth did, indeed, exist. The Jewish historian Josephus mentions Jesus twice [...]

Radio Gaga

Have you ever noticed that most radio talk show hosts sound the same? I can’t tell them apart, not even by subject matter. Their purpose in life seems to be to push people’s buttons, thereby creating the illusion that they are controversial. They don’t encourage serious debate or promote thoughtful discussion of the issues. They [...]

Unnecessary Censorship

I’ve never been a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, finding The Man Show to be rather boorish and sophomoric at its best. I haven’t seen his latest show so I can’t say whether or not it’s any better. As the following articles on The Huffington Post blog show, he is apparently not a fan of the [...]

Cover the stink

Most television commercials bother me to some degree but the Fabreze ad that’s currently running kinda grinds my gears.

In this ad, a teen-aged boy is expecting a couple of girls to come over and study. His mom comments about how his room stinks, as if she hasn’t ventured in there in quite a while. Does [...]

The winner wrote: “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that [...]

It used to be the most joyous time of the year

Argent – Liar
[Three Dog Night did a cover of this song. Even though I heard their version first, I like Argent's rendition better.]

Today’s Quote: “But there’s only one thing better than having a baby, and that’s having a smart baby.” — Naira Soibatian explains why her 11-month-old daughter has a laptop bigger than her own.

Bob Dylan – Gotta Serve Somebody

But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody.

[You gotta sing that with a nasal twang.]

Today’s headlines …
Arizona punishes stupid drivers. I think more states should enact laws [...]

Honk if you love peace and quiet.

B.B. King – Nobody Loves Me But My Mother

Nobody loves me, but my mother,
And she could be jivin’ too.

Nobody loves me, but my mother,
And she could be jivin’ too.

Now you see why I act so funny, baby,
When you do the things you do.

Today’s quote:
“Christian fundamentalists believe that human beings were divinely created in the image [...]
