Marriage a choice, just like religion – Las Vegas Sun

Thank God not all of Vegas is infiltrated by Talibangelicals. Give this a read and be sure to down some painkillers before starting in on the comments.

I truly wish that those bigoted hatemongers who supposedly speak for the Almighty would kindly shut the hell up and let actual caring folks speak for their religion.

Not that I’m holding my breath or anything….

Because, apparently, downloading music is a capital offense

In a moment of curiosity, I strolled over to FoxNews and found this little tidbit. To some, hiring a guy from an organization famous for things like Ruby Ridge and Waco is just the right thing to do in order to scare off all the 12-year old girls and old ladies who supposedly are the software pirates destroying our society. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to see is RIAA assualt teams breaking into little 10-year old Jimmy’s room because he wanted to get a song from his favorite artist.

Another genius is suing to teach his daughter about the joys of polygamy. Okay, let’s work this through. LDS members who want to be polygamists are not actual Mormons. People who kill abortion doctors are not Christians. Al Qaeda members are not Muslims. You are all freaks and need to leave our planet. Are we all clear on this now?

Our troops are trying out some new strategies in Iraq. Let’s hope this calms things down and gets some order in that country.

Its not all bad news. In Seattle, you can expect to find your cabbie dressed as an Elvis impersonator, among other things. Slate is carrying a story about the guy who did all the background music for Looney Tunes. This year’s total cost for the 12 Days of Christmas has been calculated. And here is a site about a guy who loves New York and Lego sets. And he loves them a lot.

Man, I hope this trend takes off

The KKK has decided to start taking out its own members. Let’s hope they keep their stupidity within the family from now on.

At the other extreme, apparently in Los Angeles, systems and computing terminology has been deemed politically incorrect.

Time tackles the burgeoning business of political mudslinging. As if watching five minutes of Fox News didn’t already tell you that partisan politics is alive and well in this country. Too bad those of us who actually try to think before we speak are caught in the middle.

Jones Soda attempts to make your Thanksgiving complete with gravy-flavored soda. Let me make sure you read that right, its called Turkey & Gravy soda. Seriously, someone up in the northwest find some of that and give us a taste test.

I love this country?

Okay, let’s get a couple things straight. If you want to go be a Nazi, move out of Texas, take a rowboat out to the middle of the Atlantic and sink it.

Two, I don’t care what your politics are. Even if you are an unsavory, pompous jerk of a radio personality, race baiting is a BAD thing. Of course, he’ll increase ratings which is all that matters to the media goons. Just makes you sick to realize how far we have to go in this country.

By the way, I’ve been watching The Blues on PBS and you can still catch the last few episodes this week. I should have been hyping it all along. Good stuff.

Charity begins at home at the expense of your convictions

So, I read this article about a woman who is forcing her belief system on others so much that it is now going to cost some charities a LOT of money. AND SHE’S NOT DONE! People, convince others to change their minds through dialogue, not by twisting their arms in fascist fashion.

In other news, Galva seems to remain in the dark but folks seem to be okay. Brenda says their house got a little roughed up, but so did a lot of others.
