Whoring out Jesus to the State

Jim Wallis is a partisan piece of shit. I don’t play these political games that he and his little cadre do, but I especially don’t play those games “in the name of Jesus”. Christians need to abandon Wallis and co. to the trash heap. It’s only fitting that he spews his vitriol on the Ed [...]

Should England apologize to Alan Turing?

So this story has been circulating for the past few days now: Now Turing enthusiasts, led by John Graham-Cumming, are petitioning the government to make a formal apology for the treatment of Alan Turing. They say this would give a national recognition to the Turing’s remarkable contributions and would acknowledge the tragic consequences of a [...]

1984 remotely deleted from Amazon Kindles

Story: In George Orwell’s “1984,” government censors erase all traces of news articles embarrassing to Big Brother by sending them down an incineration chute called the “memory hole.” On Friday, it was “1984” and another Orwell book, “Animal Farm,” that were dropped down the memory hole — by Amazon.com. In a move that angered customers [...]

Brave police officers take down monster

Yep, a five-year-old’s pet chihuahua: Two policemen herded Jack onto the family’s front porch and had the dog cornered when it allegedly bit the officer 26 times on both hands and left a tooth embedded in his flesh. Police then tasered the 2.3kg dog before shooting it three times. Source Protect and serve!

Sojourners does it again

These guys really are disgusting. Today’s entry: Pray that access to child care, Early Head Start, and Head Start will be expanded for low-income families. How they can whore the Church for their petty (and questionable) political convictions is beyond me. The pretentiousness of the “God’s Politics” people never ceases to amaze me.

“God’s Politics”

I’ve had enough contact with “Jim Wallis and friends” to finally find some motivation to rant. If you don’t know anything about “Sojourners” do a quick look down the topics off to the side or look at Wallis’ spate of political books on Amazon. As a non-partisan myself, you’d think I’d find some common ground [...]

Is the dollar dead?

A new op-od in the NYT yesterday outlines the coming rejection of the dollar in favor of the Chinese Renminbi. Clearly this is a logical choice IF China can continue to stabilize economically and begin importing (sending its money abroad). Right now China holds huge cash reserves of foreign currencies, but as the world suffers [...]

100 days in…

…and who care what grade I’d give him. He isn’t in grade school.

Police Officer Foils Criminal Plan…

…to see a mother-in-law before she died in the hospital: The video shows what happened after Moats, who plays for the Houston Texans, rolled through a red light in Dallas en route to Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano. Powell switched on his lights and sirens, caught up to the family’s SUV, and followed for [...]

White House on Marijuana

Listen to Robert Gibbs choke on his words as he confronts some pretty pointed questions about the legalization of a plant:
