Never watched American Idol before, but this was a jewel:

Love this post. Finally someone talking some sense.

The world’s greatest nation seems bent on subjecting itself to a similarly humiliating defeat, by playing a game that could be called Terrorball. The first two rules of Terrorball are:

(1) The game lasts as long as there are terrorists who want to harm Americans; and

(2) If terrorists should manage to kill or injure or seriously frighten any of us, they win.

These rules help explain the otherwise inexplicable wave of hysteria that has swept over our government in the wake of the failed attempt by a rather pathetic aspiring terrorist to blow up a plane on Christmas Day. For two weeks now, this mildly troubling but essentially minor incident has dominated headlines and airwaves, and sent politicians from the president on down scurrying to outdo each other with statements that such incidents are “unacceptable,” and that all sorts of new and better procedures will be implemented to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

Read the explanation below….

“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”

If you’re forced to eat at one….

I’m sorry, but kids do not require cell phones. Classrooms at all schools have phones in each room, so messages can be taken and relayed to kids in emergencies.

How about forcing kids to take responsibility for being where they say they will be and being on time. I think it’s ridiculous that any kid under the age of 13 has a cell phone. (Actually I think it’s ridiculous for any kid under the age of 15, but no doubt I will get rocks thrown at me for saying that.)

I didn’t have a cell phone and my mom knew where I was, or if I was out riding my bike with friends I was to be home at a certain time. I was required to tell her which friend’s house I was at and my mom could call if she needed to reach me (which honestly, was never – I knew when dinner was, that I needed to do my homework before playing, etc.)

My mom was not shy about taking away my allowance, TV watching privileges, or grounding me if I didn’t follow the rules.

I think it’s incredibly amazing how cell phones have changed society. Look at any street corner, and half the people are on their phone or using their phone to text. They don’t even talk to their friends at dinner.

I’m not technology adverse at all – I’ve had the same cell phone number since 1989 – I had one of the first cell phones you installed in your car, and just kept it all these years. I had one of the first small handsets became available, first Palm Pilot, first iPod, though I have to say, I’ll never own a DVD blu-ray, I’m going all-internet TV shortly and disconnecting my cable.

I can’t believe the number of times people scold me for not answering my cell phone, or not carrying it around (yes I can LIVE THROUGH THAT). I don’t have to be wired 24 hrs/day, fer Chrissakes. I almost never answer my cell phone – I don’t like being interrupted. What’s happened to private time?? I prefer texting and emailing. You can answer back at your time.

Rant, rant, rant. Thanks for listening.

At a loss for words on this one. It’s great how science and fact can be waived away.

My favorite passage:

Numbers 31:7, 16-17
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
…
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Nice.

Does anyone understand this mess? I sure don’t. All I’ve heard is 1 trillion dollar cost, public health care option, Dems want it Republicans don’t. This little article really explains it all.
