Be proud to be American

This is how far we have come: Irwandi Yusuf, the governor of Indonesia’s Aceh Province, bluntly said to me: “We don’t believe the Americans in this administration.”

Hitchens NAILS Huck to the cross he wears

The “Christian Leader” Huck claims he is, is such bullshit and only someone as bloviatingly pompous as Hitchens will take him to task

A candidate who followed the “Rev.” Jim Jones to a Kool-Aid resort in Guyana (don’t forget that this did actually happen)
A candidate who said that the pope could excommunicate other American candidates with whom he disagreed
A candidate who said that the above-mentioned pope was the Antichrist
A candidate who said that L. Ron Hubbard was a visionary
A candidate who said that Joseph Smith was a visionary

All the worlds a stage, and the stage is full of fools

My guess is that there are some people out there that are anxiously waiting to read what I have to write this morning. I don’t blame you. If I were you, I would be wondering what someone like me, that apparently has not a freaking clue as to the power of his pen or in this case type pad could be thinking let alone getting ready to post on the internets.

I think that is what I am going to write about today. In my own retarded abstractness that is my own style. Donviti style we shall call it. In typical fashion I tried my best to not arrive right on time, but yet still did. However, Geek showed up before me and had the pledge pin to prove it.

Oh this is too much

Can you believe this?  Holding Christine Todd Whitman liable will set a dangerous precedent, leaving public officials to worry that their words to reassure the public after disasters will open them…

Happy Human rights day

“Human Rights day is celebrated to promote the universal human right: to live and to do so peacefully. Some of the world’s occupants have this right suppressed [e.g. the right to equality]. This day was declared to raise awareness of our rights, and of those who are deprived of these rights.”

Are we Americans living up to our self image as a beacon of freedom and humanity in a troubled world? Do we model the Christian virtues of peace, justice and compasion that we brag about so loudly?
