Been-away-too-damn-long linkdump
Lemme tell ya’, this being soooper busy every day thing is starting to take its toll on me. Hardly any time to read non-school related stuff, watch movies of questionable quality, and of course, blog. It’s killing me. So I’m taking a quick minute here to give you a linkdump. Not as satisfying for either one of us as a Christofascist Idiot Watch Update, I know, but hey, I still care.
First up, CREW releases its 22 most corrupt members of Congress list. 19 Republicans, and 3 Democrats…, are you surprised? And you right-wingers, no, it’s not CREW’s fault. Suck it up.
ThinkProgress reports that our dipshit-in-chief was meeting with some military bloggers recently, and said something along the lines of that “he expressed envy that they could be there, and said he’d like to be there but “One, I’m too old to be out there, and two, they would notice me.” Uh-huh. He failed to mention number three, the more obvious one about a high likelihood of getting fragged or caught up in a bit of friendly fire. Perish the thought.
This one sounds nutty as hell, but there’s a ring of truth to it…Nebraska State Senator Sues God:
State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he’s trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.
Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terrorist threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”
The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused “fearsome floods … horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes.”
He’s seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.
Can’t say he’s wrong there. Good luck to him, because God’s got a helluva lawyer, I suppose, with all the murderin’ and such that he’s always up to, he always seems to get off scott-free.
In more atheist-related news, a soldier is suing the Defense Department for preventing him from having a meeting for atheists and other non-Christians. Good for him.
The “D” in Democrats stands for “disappointment” more often than not, so you can never tell with these things, but some good news seems to be in the making. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is saying that there are no more Iraq bills coming that do not have a firm withdrawal timeline. Now, if one of the Senators running for the Dem nomination (especially a particular one that likes to talk about how he’s the “change” candidate, without offering much meat to the argument) would just take the lead and filibuster the shit out of any Iraq legislation without a timeline, they’d make a huge difference, and would probably increase their chances of winning the White House tenfold. But they never listen to me, do they?
Finally, they’re excited about “riding the SLUT” in Seattle! Who wouldn’t be?
Hopefully, you won’t have to wait another week here for something new. And by November, life returns to some semblance of normalcy. Stay well and thanks for stopping by.
