Gadz, people, the moon gets hit by meteors every day.  Why else do you think it’s full of craters?

Burnt Orange Report: Tom Delay: “I’m insane or stupid. I can’t figure out which.”.
I couldn’t resist, if there is anything that begs for a poll it’s this statement. (continue reading…)

The Telltale Wombs Of Lewiston, Maine : NPR.

There are some games where the best strategy is to not play in the first place.  When I was a kid and I got a fever, I never once went to the hospital.  I went to the doctor and promptly went home.  These days,  if I were a kid and I got a fever,there are places here in this country where it is likely I would wind up in the hospital.  Why is that?

Conservative Bible Project Cuts Out Liberal Passages.

It was only a matter of time.  One thing I have noticed about a lot of people who call themselves Christian.  They haven’t actually read the bible.

They let other people tell them what is in the bible and don’t actually take the time to read it for themselves.  I have read the bible twice through in my life and even though I don’t call myself a Christian, I can say I have a good working knowledge of it.  I would say that if you are a Christian, your best defense is to be well versed (pun intended) in your bible and read it from cover to cover and often.  Read the old one that you got from your parents, read the one that your family has written the names of your parents and their births and deaths in side in the center fold.  Three hundred years ago, the pilgrims believed in teaching each and every child to read because they believed that you couldn’t get to heaven if you couldn’t read the bible.

Remember that no mortal has control over you getting into heaven, that is only between you and God.

Do you really need a Neo-Druid to tell you this?

Legislators Push Early Start For Credit Card Rules : NPR.

They want December 1st.  I think October 7th would be a better date.  My cards all just got r*ped too by cut credit limits and increased interest rates and I too paid on time, and paid more than the minimum.   They claim increased risk, well you know, they manufactured that risk when they did this.

Help Keep The Galveston Federal Judge In Galveston! – The Petition Site.

Go ahead and click.  This is an online petition to keep the Federal Judge in Galveston in Galveston instead of Houston, or where ever they may want to move it.  There has been a District Judge in Galveston since 1836 and there is a huge industry(and the jobs with it) surrounding this seat that would have to uproot and move if it was moved out of Galveston.

Barry Sears: Why Real Health Care Reform Is Impossible.

Crazy… this is what we do. (always worry when I say “this is what we do” really…) We have the GREAT AMERICAN DIE IN!  Go out and cancel your health insurance now.  Really, it’s time to stop the madness.  Next time you are sick, go to the doctor, any doctor and tell him/her that you are sick and you have no insurance and you are going to die on their doorstep if you don’t get treatment.  Tell them you will only pay what you feel is what their service is worth and do that.  Pay what you feel it’s worth not a penny more.  If you have to pay in chickens so be it.
