Why Evangelicals Hate Jesus →
It really is pretty baffling…and frustrating…and irritating. I mean, if you think about it, the most Jesus-like countries are the social Democracies of Scandinavia- they take care of those in need, provide for a measured and healthy quality of life, stand on solid moral principles when it comes to foreign policy and yet, they are some of the least religious people, on average.

Not A Kid Anymore
I want to get punched.
Not necessarily in the face. Maybe the stomach or the arm or the chest. Definitely not below the belt, though. Why? I’m looking for some kind of physical danger, so I guess it doesn’t have to be a punching, necessarily. Running, jumping, falling down scraping up a knee or elbow, spraining an ankle - I want some sort of physical pain to invade my little cocoon of...
The Republican Threat to Voting - NYTimes.com →
These bills are obviously being brought up in a partisan way by the GOP. They know the statistics and know exactly what they’re doing. It’s a shitty, sneaky, dishonest way to try and win elections.
But my question is this: How can you not have ANY form of ID in this day and age? I mean, how is that possible?
I have four. A passport, my social security card and my birth certificate...

So, if I buy into this and start calling for this certificate, does that make me a Shitbagger?

"Birther King" Andy Martin: Still More Questions... →
To the 47% of registered Republicans who actually bought into the silly-ass conspiracy theory that Obama wasn’t born in the US - SHUT THE FUCK UP.
To the birthers like Andy Martin - This does not mean that you pressured Obama into releasing his birth certificate. This is not a “win” for you. This man is trying to run our country and got sick and tired of morons like yourself...

Cyclogeddon: Be A Part of Traffic, Not an Asshole
Bike commuters often get a bad rap because of the way that they interact with the rest of traffic. Whether it is cutting off cars, dodging cars, not stopping at STOP signs or lights, or just generally getting in the way, it’s sometimes deserved. I try and be one of those good bike commuters. The ones that go with the flow of traffic, follow the rules of the road, stop at signs and lights...

I stumbled across a link to this series yesterday (thanks, reddit!) and have been plowing through it. Very interesting and utterly fascinating for dog owners.
Update: Lady Gaga approves Weird Al parody - Lady... →
Okay, so Lady Gaga isn’t a bitch, after all.
In related news, does anyone need a newly fired, kinda dickish manager? Because I would bet dollars to doughnuts that this dude is fired.

Marilyn Davenport: Moron
Some of you may have heard the furor over the weekend about an email sent by an Orange County Republican party official. Marilyn Davenport sent an email depicting a poorly-Photoshopped “family portrait” with chimp heads replacing the parents and Barack Obama replacing the baby.
The caption? “No you know why no birth certificate.”
Davenport did her worst at damage...

Vintage Portland →
I have a thing for historical photos of the place I live. When I was growing up, I loved to look through coffee table books of the Red River Valley. Now that I live in Portland, I find stuff like this to be just as cool.

Sure, they can’t sing, the song goes on too long, it’s shambolic and sloppy and all that, but it’s honest. That counts for quite a lot.
I love these folks.

When the trampled upon have less and less to lose, the more likely they are to rise up against their tormentors.
Way to go out of your way to piss on the poor and vulnerable while increasing funding for the military.
