The guy who called Katrina God’s punishment for sin in New Orleans got a promotion. Is there a city in this country – heck, the world! – without a gay bar, abortion clinic, corruption and prostitution? No explanation for how Vegas, Washington DC, and other cities remain standing – OR how the Catholic church’s coverup for the pedophiles in its midst didn’t result in some fire and brimstone falling on Rome, given Mark 9:42. Still, I guess it’s no worse than, who was it, Pat Buchanan? – who I believe said 9/11 was a punishment for homosexuality. Whackos.

The Onion? No. Congress.

The Onion recently had a spoof about the government throwing money down a big hole. Sadly, this is not The Onion. Congress wants to use our tax dollars to crush trucks and SUVs that are not, in their view, fuel-efficient. Gateway Pundit has more.
I have a sudden urge to run out into the street, screaming. The insanity that passes for policy these days… there are just no words.
Taxes… they’re for the little people.

And naturally the media doesn’t find it remarkable, shocking, or worth a lot of reporting. Unlike the the “flood the zone” coverage of every real or perceived GOP scandal.
Open Letter To The Black Guy In The Elevator

(Warning: Potentially offensive content, depending on your sensitivity level.)
Me – a middle aged white woman dressed in jeans and tee shirt. You – a black guy in your thirties, also dressed in jeans and a tee shirt. It was at the doctor’s office on Vets on the 6th floor. As I approached the elevator, you were waiting for people to get out of it. When the elevator was empty, you got on it and hit the button for your floor. I looked at you and kept walking toward the elevator, then stopped, shook my head slightly, and stepped back. You looked really offended, [Read more...]

This is heavy news: New Orleans Inspector General Robert Cerasoli quits post, citing health issues
Robert Cerasoli, the veteran Massachusetts investigator who navigated a maze of bureaucracy and politics to found the New Orleans inspector general’s office, will resign today to reunite with his family and prepare for surgery to remove potentially dangerous growths.
I’m terribly sorry to see him go. He fought hard for our city – harder than most N’awlins natives, in fact. I guess we’ll see who they get to replace him, but I can’t help but think – plus ca change…
Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under a lava flood of taxes and frauds and maladministrations so that it has become only a study for archaeologists. …But it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes, than to own the whole state of Ohio. – Lafcadio Hearn, 1879

Henry Neufeld is Annoyed at Certain Christian Labels.
How about “born-again Christian.” As opposed to what? A non-born-again Christian?
Indeed.
Will Jon Stewart find President Obama’s spread legs as amusing as President Bush’s?

Hmmm… somehow I don’t think this’ll make Stewart’s Moment of Zen.
Science news, Trek trivia

In addition to being moderately geeky at work and nerdy enough to build our own computers at home, my husband and I are space and science junkies, Trekkies (or if you’re a purist, Trekkers), sci-fi and fantasy readers and technology freaks. I seldom post about it, but I do actually read more than just the bible and political stuff. So… now for something completely different: [Read more...]
