The Sovereignty of Citizens
You know, for a purported 'comedic' blog, this guy is pretty damned lucid:
the adventures of a boy and his computer - Thou shalt not preach from the bench
So Moore, and many Christians, say that the moral basis of our law is Christian dogma. I'm not a judge or a lawyer, but I happen to think that the moral basis of our law is the sovereignty of citizens, as outlined in the Constitution.
How hard is it to understand that we RULE OURSELVES? &Diety doesn't rule us, except as far as an individual lets HIMSELF be ruled by &Diety.
If I'm going to Hell for being an atheist, isn't that enough? Gimme a break.

Three Stooges Get Shiny Things!
Nothing like a little Bushite wackiness to cheer me up for the holidays!
Yahoo! News - Bush Awards Medal of Freedom to Three
Bush presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to retired Gen. Tommy Franks, who oversaw combat in Afghanistan (news - web sites) and the initial invasion of Iraq, former CIA (news - web sites) Director George Tenet and former Iraq administrator L. Paul Bremer.
Larry, Curly and Moe!
Tommy? Maybe.
Tenet?!? BREMER?!!?! jeesh.

Santa And The Reindeer
My kid is memorizing this for school, and it hit me that it describes my career to a T.
/me pats his flea
Santa And The Reindeer (Shel Silverstein)
"This is the hour", said Santa Claus,
"The bells ring merrily."
Then on his back he slung his pack,
And into his sleigh climbed he.
"On Dancer! On, Prancer! On, Donner and Blitzen!
On, Comet and Cupid!" cried he.
And all the reindeers leaped but one,
And that one stood silently.
He had pulled the sleigh for a thousand years,
And never a word spoke he.
Now he stoop in the snow, and he whispered low -
"Oh what do you have for me?"
"I have games and toys for girls and boys."
Said Santa cheerily.
The reindeer stood as if made of wood -
"But what do you have for me?"
"The socks are hung, the bells are rung!"
Cried Santa desperately.
The reindeer winked at a falling star -
"But what do you have for me?"
Then Santa reached into his beard,
And he found a tiny flea,
And he put it into the reindeer's ear,
And the reindeer said, "For me? Oh gee!"
And into the blue away they flew,
Away they flew with the flea.
And the moral of this yuletide tale
You know as well as me.

This is just too depressing...
The human race lets me down yet again.
