After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands. Friedrich Nietzsche http://amplify.com/u/ar9r
A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

I should now be able to send blog posts from my e-mail... I am testing it right now.

I'm not sure this is fair...

The media really created the problem. They are the ones who turned his whisper into a shout heard around the world. I say charge them, they no doubt made more than enough to cover the bill from their coverage.

This is the missing key in the debate...

Conservatives think about and talk about Muslims, Arabs and terrorists like they are all one in the same. However, not all Muslims in America are Arab, even in the Middle East, Iranians are not Arab, they are Persian. Americans need to develop a better understanding of Islam, and the people both here and around that world who choose that as a faith.

Jon Stewart's 'Million Moderates' Rally Organized by Two Liberal Clintonistas

Jon Stewart's 'Million Moderates' Rally Organized by Two Liberal Clintonistas: "

The Washington Post promoted the dueling Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert liberal satirist rally on Saturday's front page with the blurb: "Comedy Central sets up opposing stunts in October. Your dilemma: Join Stewart's 'Million Moderates,' or Colbert 'Keep Fear Alive'?" What Post TV critic Lisa deMoraes discovered is that there are no moderates organizing this event on the last weekend before the midterm elections. Comedy Central is relying on two liberal Clintonistas.

Don't go off the reservation...

I don't think Rove should be demonised for stating what he sees as real problems with O'Donnell. We enter a scary political era when you cannot say bad things about candidates in your own party. We enter a political era lacking in truthfulness.

How does she do it?

Paris has managed to get herself out of serous trouble again... I can only shake my head.

This is a funny video...

Click the link to watch the video. It isn't in English, but if you pay attention to politics you can see what is going on, and you'll get the joke.

I like Posterous...

It is rating below Tumblr, but I use them both and I like Posterous better.

Don't run...

I have to agree with Sarah Palin, the voice of the voters has said they don't want her to run. Why is she running... She claims to have people supporting her, just not enough to win the primary.

$9 Million for signs?

How can anyone justify spending that much money on stupid signs. Obama says it is transparency, and Republicans call it tax-payer funded propaganda. I am doing with the Republicans on this one.

Bill Maher: Obama Would Be A Better President 'If He Was Fully Black'

Bill Maher: Obama Would Be A Better President 'If He Was Fully Black':

Bill Maher on Friday said Barack Obama's problem is "he's only half black." He'd be a better president "if he was fully black.

I know you're a comedian Bill, and you say these kinds of things to get attention. But still... WTF?

BlackBerry era coming to a close?

BlackBerry era coming to a close?: "

BlackBerry is losing out to Android in the smartphone market, slowly but surely.


Was it really a slam on Bristol?

I think Meghan was talking more about the people who were trying to manage her image, than attempting to slam Bristol. Regardless, it is good to see Bristol keeping a smile on her face. She didn't ask for her mother to be Sarah Palin, and she hasn't done anything thousands of teens haven't done.

Really Jenn???

Who is using who here?

I think the relationship between this nutty pastor and the nutty media is two sided. Both are getting something out it. Viewers, and news consumers on the other hand are not.

Too little, too late...

They should have just kept their network up, instead of having to spend tons of money to fix it. I think it might be too late for ATT's image now.

This is stupid...

Two people died to protest something that didn't even happen, to protest the words of a nut on the other side of the world. It isn't just stupid, it is crazy.

I'm not a fan of cough medicine...

But this is not going to stop people from taking drugs. You can make meth out of lots of things... like matchheads. Meth is a real problem, how about focusing on a solution that actually helps the people who suffer from addiction.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The United Nations reported Tuesday that more than 500 systematic rapes were committed by armed combatants in eastern Congo since late July - more than double the number previously reported - and accepted partial responsibility for not protecting citizens....

This is just stupid....

Of course they have the right to burn Korans, but should they? No, I don't think so. It is a pointless gesture that is only going to fuel more hatred and fear in this world. I doubt Jesus would approve - not that they care.
