Coulda happened this way. You don't know for sure.




After creating the universe, Mr. Deity goes over with an assistant what evil will be allowed.



If you are having streaming problems with this second one, sorry. Try going over to YouTube and watching it. I had no problems there with it.

Huh?

NOTICE-THIS IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TONGUE-IN-CHEEK (the ones in your cabeza) BLOG.

I am thinking that
God (if there is one) and the Prez are operating in mysterious ways. I am confussed. And I am convinced that they are purposely trying to confuss me. Check this out from Crooks and Liars. Oh, and HANG IN THERE AND LISTEN TO HOWARD DEAN, at about 1 min 30 or so.


Don't Panic. Howard Dean Says Bill Will Pass - With The Public Option
By Susie Madrak Monday Aug 17, 2009 5:00pm



Howard Dean on Morning Joe this morning:

"The president knows very well that you aren't really going to have health care reform without a public option. But he also knows he has to get this out of the Senate," Dean said on "Morning Joe." "He's got a very important member of the Finance Committee, Kent Conrad, who doesn't want to vote for this bill if it's got a public option in it. And he knows he's not going to get any Republican votes, of any kind. So at the end of this day, this bill is going to be written by Democrats. It's got to get out of the Senate. And you only need a few Democrats to take out the public option."

He added that with Republicans unlikely to support any version of health care legislation, he had no doubt that the final reform bill would be passed with the help of reconciliation, which means Democrats need only to muster 50 votes in the Senate rather than the usual 60.

Dean told RCP earlier this year that a health care reform bill without a strong public option was pointless. "If it doesn't, all we have is the same old stuff, and I don't think it's worth spending $634 billion on what we've already got," he said.

OK, OK, OK, if that is true, and I sure as hell hope so...isn't that giving the strategy away, by stating it publicly?

Checkmate...MoFos

My good online friends Punch and Mr. Charleston have lately been posting about one of my favorite subjects, God and Heyzeus, and Zen things, all like that there. I thought it was time I posted something I presented a couple of years ago over at JournalSpace. It's a couple of videos which deal with creationism and food. I DID say food.

But, in my travels looking for those videos to share with you, I ran across this. It is so fucking ridiculous that I finally opined...this can't be real...it has to be parody. But is it? What do you think? Could be real.

The presenter's name is Edward Current, which is, in and of itself suspicious, methinks.

If he is not real, then he is good, very good. If he is real...he's a fucking idiot. I remain agnostic on the subject of Edward Current.

The floor is open for discussion.

Bananas tomorrow.

It Could Make You Blind...And Worse.

This is the kind of crap I wonder about in the dead of night...3 a.m. to be precise. It probably has to do with being raised in the South and forced to attend Sunday School and church EVERY Sunday, and being told by an almost illiterate person of the cloth, who spoke through his nose, that my skinny young ass was probably...no...was for sure, going to burn in Hell forever...FOREVER. And me, having just discovered at age twelve, Mary Lou Graham, sitting in the pew in front of me, and tight short shorts...and...that I had a do-hickey thingy down there, that was also for pleasure, not just relief...being told that THAT was primarily the reason...THE reason for the burning...forever. I'm thinking at the time that that is a bit severe...how about just striking me blind, would that work? Nope. FOREVER! BURN, BABY

That's a long damned time...forever. A longer time than it will take for our children to pay off all the free money being printed for our distressed bankers and CEOs at this very moment. FUCKING FOREVER. BURNING. No chance of rolling over and putting it out, just flat out non-stop burning. God almighty I can smell my buns and thingy on fire at this very moment...just relating it to you. No vestal virgins for me in the hereafter...just eternal, hell fire...and a cindered, useless thingy.

So, here I am quite a few years later with this shit embedded in my brain, no matter how hard I work at shedding it, and in the wee hours my thoughts sometimes turn to God...humanity and Mary Lou...and our need to avoid hellfire by living a clean life...and above all, not masturbating...even though I don't believe one damned word of it!

This is what perplexes me (besides the vestal virgin thing.) Back in the olden days of God, people occasionally went astray from worshiping the one and only and did evil things like...Sodom and the Mora place...and coveting...and dishonoring...and blasphemy...and whacking off, not to mention murder, thievery, making golden bulls, and downright fucking meanness. So, when these atrocities occurred, and God saw it, what did he do? He sent pestilence, big flying bugs to eat the wheat, boils, and above all...he spoke. He spoke to his representative here on Earth...usually a guy with a beard...but never a woman. He spoke and told the rep what the deal was going to be if HIS people didn't fly right. And the people straightened their asses out. They flew right. Time and again, humanity was saved from itself because Jehozefat SPOKE.

It is apparent to me and it may be apparent to you that here we are in the 21st Century, warring, whoring, fighting, killing, drugging, making excessive profits, ignoring our starving brethren, fucking the next guy and gal, polluting the atmosphere, dumping waste into our water, ignoring the sick, not providing for the young, shoving our elders aside, allowing maniacs to kill others in our name, killing others of a different religion in the name of God, consuming goods beyond reason, and masturbating. And why is God not speaking? Because my childhood nasal speaking pastor was wrong...God is not going to save us.
