Holy Holidays!!

I hope you have had the Merriest of Christmases!

I am sure that the parade of Gods children surveyed in your family and friends at this feast of the Prince of Peace, contained some decidedly unpeacefull folks, ie. Fundamentalists, better yet pre-millenialist fundamentalists!

Have you been searching for an explaination of how some of these folks express their "christian love" by saying that you will spend eternity in the "lake of fire" for having voted for Obama.

The blessed talents of Joe Bageant, provide the best explaineroo I have seen yet, along with some recompense to ye liberal Catholics in the audience, a tie-in to Thomas Merton.

Its a bit long, but i figger yinz guys to be of the intellectual muster fer this stuff!

PS thanks to Matt i have the Bageant interview on CD and will forward it to Joe for inclusion on his Podcast list (a plot for some permenance to clairadio, no doubt!)

Everything you (liberals) know is wrong

After we start a War of perverse cost and motivation. After we brow-beat unions with $75/hr bullshit. Let us at long last remind the United States of Lemmings that FDR was Evil and Ronald Reagan proceedeth from the right hand of the father

those who do not know history are doomed to repeat their selective, willfull ignorance incessantly

The pushers of the Wall Mart economy want to claim the "trust buster" as their own.

Quite a stretch, Mahablog sets them straight.

sanity for Christmas

The column "Savage Love" appears in the city paper, it contained this letter which should be placed on the windshield of every car of every church, who thought it the greatest priority of the followers of Jesus, to "defend marriage" from Homosexuals.

One of Gods gifts, is to give us moral instuction from people who say motherf#$ker instead of "praise the lord".

In the instances of "Savage love" and "Rude Pundit" the instruction is superior, check them out and have a blessed Christmas.

Now stop playing with your pud and go out their and act like Jesus!

I'm a 28-year-old woman. I've been with my current boyfriend for five years. He's married and has been telling me the whole time that he's going to leave his wife eventually. There's always an excuse: a crisis with the kids, money problems, etc. I've been stupid to stay with him for so long, but I just can't keep away from him.

I just found out I'm pregnant, and I haven't told my boyfriend. This is the second time we've been pregnant. Last time he reacted very badly, and I miscarried after a few weeks. I know he'll want me to get rid of the baby, but I'm going to keep it.

Whenever his wife goes away, I go over to the house to spend time with him. I've been planting evidence of our affair around the house in the hopes his wife will find it. So far, no luck. I'd like him to be man enough to leave her, but that's probably never going to happen. I could leave him, but if I do, I want to make sure he's miserable. I'm not going to vanish from his life and leave him all happily ever after. I'm thinking of going and telling his wife. What do you think? Is there any way I can force him to tell her?

Now The Other Mom

No advice for you, NTOM, but plenty of prenatal sympathy for a poor unfortunate fetus who deserves better parents or his very own miscarriage.

I will, however, hold on to your letter. I'm going to forward a copy to every doucheburst who writes in to tell me that gay marriage is wrong because every child deserves a mother and a father. Moms and dads can be great—I had a terrific set, myself—but mix-matched genitals are not enough. Kids need loving, fit, and reasonably sane parents. Having one twatted parent and one pricked parent does not guarantee a happy childhood.

Republicans moon the middleclass

Close to a thousand billion dollars in corporate welfare were doled out in the financial bail out.

The Auto industry asks for bridge loans of less than 5 billion so all of a sudden, we have to have immediate wage cuts from those enemies of the American Oligarcy we call Unions.

Yes Virginia, as hard as it is to believe that this nice christian republican senator who is doing his best to protect you from radical islam and keep christ in christmas just told your daddy to go f#%k himself but that is, nonetheless the case.

Close to home

Any time private enterprise screws something up, through their innate orientation to stupidity and greed, we must find Libbbrrrralll Meddleing to blame!

Ford GM and Chrysler are on the ropes because of the EPA and CAFE standards!

The mortgage crises was caused by the Community reinvestment act requireing fly by night banks to actually invest in their communities by writing local mortgages instead of speculating in pork belly futures in Khualla Lampuur.

An explanation of why this right wing appologia is a bunch of crap
