Catholic Insanity

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, that no other statement of religious “devotion” could floor you – the religious loons surprise you once again.

Daylight Atheism has an article titled, The Catholic Church Answers Your Sex Questions.  It’s brief, but worth the time to gain a further insight into the unbelievable insanity of Catholic Christianity in action.

The author’s conclusion is spot on.  “The Pascal’s Wager logic, which so often assumes that joining a religion is cost-free, hides the fine print: you will end up paying a price, and it may be a lot higher than you think. How can anyone be truly happy in the mental slavery of a religion that layers on the guilt and threats for breaking such absurd laws? And wouldn’t people like this be much happier if they abandoned these superstitious beliefs and instead adopted a rational, humanist alternative sexual ethics?”

TSA – Security Theater

Monday, November 15th, 2010

This has to be one of the best articles I’ve read on the subject of the total ineffectiveness of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at airport security.  Whether you want to believe it or not, they haven’t helped security one bit.  However, they’ve certainly made a once proud nation of jet-setters into an efficient police state.

Read “The Things He Carried” from The Atlantic magazine.

Addendum: Just for those that scoff, security can be done right at the airport, without the need for a police state mentality.

Addendum2: This story has to be one of the worst.  How long are we going to put up with these Nazi tactics?

Addendum3: Read these accounts filed with the ACLU.  The TSA has become a government sponsored rape squad!

Motorcycle Mania

Friday, November 5th, 2010

I consider myself a biker, as I’ve spent 27 years in the saddle almost non-stop and I’m still here.  Over those years I’ve seen some crazy things done by others on two wheels that have made me shake my head and wish that they’d not give the rest of us a bad name.  Never have I been so ashamed of one of my fellow two-wheeled enthusiasts, than I am with this.

I’m ashamed, because this unbelievable mentally deficient jackass, has post-facto earned the Moron of the Year for 2008.

We can laugh it, only because as far as we know, no one was hurt.  That said, this has to be one of the most brain-dead stunts I’ve ever seen.

I’m also a bit embarrassed  that  this didn’t come to my attention when it was first posted, three years ago.  Oh well, I can’t keep up on everything.

On a side note: If he had smashed up during this stunt, I wonder if the news would have mentioned that he was wearing a helmet?

BP Oil Spill

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

I’ve been trying to come up with some kind of assessment of this mess in my head, but the news seems to change with the wind and there is so much information to process on it, that I still feel like I’m floundering around without direction. Perhaps an apt metaphor might be, that I feel like a sea bird in an oil spill.

The situation is certainly worse than what is being stated and eyewitness reports from those not associated with BP are saying as much.  BP proves time and again that they are lying sacks of horse manure, with no integrity of any measurable kind.

Still, with the deluge of data, I can’t seem to come up with a distinct and succinct way to verbalize my assessment of it all.  I guess I’m suffering writer’s block.

Thankfully, Washington’s Blog has managed to write an article on the subject, rife with links to all the data, to save me from my current stupefied verbal impotence.  It manages beautifully to summarize the situation and all that is wrong with it.

Congressman Rob Etheridge Assaults Student

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Showing his colors, Rep. Rob Etheridge (D-NC) physically assaulted a student on the street in Washington, D.C.  So far, charges have not been brought up against him, but the video plainly shows that he committed a criminal assault.

At the very minimum the House should apply some sort of disciplinary action for Rep. Etheridge’s violation of the House ethics rules.  Chances are instead, that he’ll get some kind of medal.

Addendum: I didn’t notice it at first, but take a close look at the time right after Rep. Etheridge grabs the young man’s wrist.  He attempts to spray him in the face with mace or pepper spray.  You can see the can in his hand as he finally moves away.

No mosque at Ground Zero
