Not only are Mormons not Christians - They're Totally Nuts

Whoever said that Mormons must be Christians just because they believe in Jesus needs to understand that Muslims believe in Jesus, too, but that doesn't make them Christians either.

Sorry, but the more I learn about the insane and crackpot "theology" of Mormonism, the more I'm convinced it was made up by a bunch of fourth graders on a sugar binge.

I seriously question the sanity and intelligence of anyone who actually buys this claptrap and I absolutely, 100% would NEVER vote for someone who espoused this nonsense, just as I would never vote for someone who believed in unicorns, elves and the ravings of L. Ron Hubbard.

And this has nothing to do with "freedom of religion" because I refuse to acknowledge the validity of LDS as a religion. A cult and a pyramid scheme, maybe, but a religion? Don't be daft. Mormonism is just plain stupid.

Original article: Stop your sobbing

Did my Uncle Bob write this?

This meandering, rambling attack on enviornmentalism is about as coherent as my Uncle Bob's periorations on the subject - and hits all the same notes. Of course my Uncle Bob is an alcoholic redneck who thinks that Saddam was behind 9/11 and that Hillary is a lesbian communist. Nice work Salon. I haven't seen rightwing tripe this lame since Joe Conason gave that blowhard kook David Horowitz the boot.

I dated a slob once

Cat hair and kitty litter ALL OVER her apartment (seriously - kitty litter grit in her couch!). Wonderful woman, but I always steered dates to my place instead of hers because I was terrified of the place. It had nothing to do with "fear of oral sex" and everything to do with nasty housekeeping. And I've been just as harsh about guy roomates who were slobs. Sometimes dudes - like me - are just neat freaks.

You're allowed to keep a few secrets

You really think you need 12 and 13 year olds about your coke use? Wait a bit until they can process it. You're allowed to keep a few secrets from your kids until they're old enough to handle it. You need to get a grip with the oversharing and remember that it's not all about you - most preteens have more pressing issues than dealing with their parents' mistakes and guilty consciences. Sack up and keep it to yourself.

Original article: Bush's stairway to paradise

You Rule Sidney!

Nobody but nobody can eviscerate the Bush regime like you do! I love how you lay it all out in this one: Bush looks in the mirror and sees Prince Hal, while the rest of us look at him and see Caligula!

For Shame You Harlot!

I think the best solution would be to show up wearing a big Scarlet Letter "A" pinned to your coat. If they don't get it, then emroll them in an American Lit class at their local community college. And then tell them to shut the fuck up and let you live your life already.

The Proof Is In The Viewing

I'm a native North Jerseyan raised on "fuckin' Ziti" but I have to say that there are who seasons and story arcs of the Sopranos that I skipped because I simply lost interest. Too much meandering, too much eliptical storytelling.

The Wire, on the other hand, is absolutely riveting and I have literally skipped dinners with friends to watch season premieres and other key episodes.

I gotta give it to The Wire - there is nothing better or smarter on TV. And no other show, including The Sopranos has been as smart, informed and honest about race in America. Ever.

I am as sick of the Iraq war...

...as I am for the ubiquitous washlet ads. My ass is clean enough, thanks!

I'm So Not Impressed By Obama

Obama is alll talk and no action. I'm so tired of his "let's unite everybody and move forward BS."

That's complete crap. I don't want somebody whose gonna sweep the Republicans' crimes under the rug in the name of "unity." These people are CRIMINALS. They need to be PUNISHED and their crimes need to exposed, not glossed over. This country will never move forward if Bush's crimes are not accounted for. All of Obama's concillatory talk just makes me sick. Doesn't he have a fighting bone in his body? Doesn't he have any core principles that he's willing to stand up for? If he can't man up and stand up to the GOP, then how will he ever stand up to Putin or Kim Jong Il or Iran? This guy is an empty suit. Charisma is NOT leadership. Thank God that Hillary has a bigger dick than he does.

Original article: Newt goes off message

The Next Generation of Chickenhawk creeps?

How come none of those stupid little Republican fucks is in Iraq right now?

In the future, let's remember that every single able-bodied Republican of this generation who didn't turn out to fight thier own war was a coward and a fraud.

These rotten weasels have no political future in America.

Original article: Disaster belief

My Dad Can Beat Up Garrison's Dad

Here's the thing - my Dad was an honest-to-God Depression kid, WWII Vet, GI Bill-educated, Gray-Flannel-Suited member of the greatest generation who gave up his dream of being a civil engineer to work for 30+ years at the same (blue chip) company in order to raise his six kids. And you know what? He hated every single day of it. He told us so on his deathbed (which was about three years before he was scheduled to retire).

You know what else he told us? Not to give up our dreams or our creativity just to make a living. He told us that was his biggest regret in life.

But please, Mr. NPR creative type, do lecture the rest of us on the virtues of miserable drudgework. We could use the fucking laugh, you cranky old gasbag!
