Anti-Catholic bigotry

feeds@kickapps.com (Standard American) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 07:53:42 PST

Count me in. Now for a light musical interlude:

Yes, this guy's Catholic. I thought this sort of Doomsday obsessing was reserved for Protestant fundies, but I guess the Catholics want to harvest some of those sweet, sweet fear bucks, too.

If your ears aren't bleeding too bad, near the end he has a few riffs on Obama's starring role in the book of Revelations. Great stuff.

Can a state effectively ban the imperial federal government from imposing penalties arising from the Obamacare mandate?

Thoughts from the left?

One drop in an ocean of Stupid

Do you need to know any more about the conservative mind than that the same people who think "the government" can't d anything right, think the Pentagon can do no wrong?

That really is a clumsy segue into this video, but never mind -- just take a gander at this idiot.

So, anyway...

Yup, that's the truth.

Just spent a week in France

Didn't see any examples of the nasty French in the stereotype. They were very, very nice folk. Go figure.

Humbug.

SCOTUS Pick

feeds@kickapps.com (Mickey Devine) — Tue, 04 May 2010 17:50:05 PST

I'd love to see the President pick a real strong liberal but I guess that's already off the table. He reportedly interviewed Diane Wood today. Greenwald's ok with her and that's probably good enough for me. Thoughts? Picks? Odds?

Christopher Hitchens

feeds@kickapps.com (Mickey Devine) — Mon, 03 May 2010 19:07:24 PST

I know he's been around forever but I've really gotten into reading his stuff lately. Way too interventionist in foreign policy for my tastes but I agree with him on a lot of issues. His takes on Nixon, Reagan, Kissinger and that crowd are classic. Use the Google.

*Not sure if this is the right forum for this but, what the hell, I'm new to this worldwide, interweb business.

I still visit here, but I've been awfully lonely lately.

Heterosexual Male + Female Friendships

feeds@kickapps.com (humder) — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 03:29:26 PST

Do you think a close friendship between a heterosexual male and a heterosexual female is unusual when there has never been any elements of sexuality in the friendship?

This thought struck me the other day when talking to a close female friend who I have never had any sexual contact with. We were talking about her other male friendships and how they have almost all ways led to being sexual in some way or falling out because of sexual rejection. The stereotype of homosexual men having lots of female friends then suddenly made sense to me.

Of course males and females can become acquaintances but are close friendships over many years unusual? Especially with people of my age (19)?

British Election Is On

feeds@kickapps.com (humder) — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 04:22:47 PST

The election for Britain was called 2 days ago and it shall be my first vote in a general election. We are either going to see no party in control or the Conservatives in control.

While American elections are an epic battle between good and evil, last years, draw thousands to rallies, British elections are far smaller and only last a month! Britain does not have big rallies or personality cults either. Rather different.

Here is a quiz to see which party your views best match- http://www.votematch.org.uk/

My results-

Green Party:: 71%...

Why the news sucks. Part 1

feeds@kickapps.com (aztcc) — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 09:21:54 PST

I noticed this about a year ago. I think the story was about flooding in the midwest. Apparently, that was an opportunity to get shot of Michelle Kosinski in a cornfield.

We're circling the drain.
