Wednesday Space Pr0n Open Comments

This video was made with no CGI and no animation. It is composed of a series of images captured by the Cassini space probe as it approached and passed the planet Saturn. It is pure awesomeness.

Seems that Dear Leader has been having some difficulty drumming up commencement speaking gigs this spring, so he held a little “jack ’em up” press conference today to try to generate a few more applications (to go with the 14 he has already received after extending the deadline for 2 more weeks). Iowahawk was there:

I have said before and I’m saying again, I admire your spunk in laying out the rules for people who just don’t know how to behave when they’re out in public.

Oh you men. It is not “Win-Some”. Winsome is an adjective meaning “sweetly or innocently charming”. I never heard of it used as a first name before, but it is a nice name.

Ms. Winsome Packer

Gotta be a way to work winning in there somehow……I’ll be back.

When Jesus comes again for His millenial reign will bob call Him a dominionist? Come to think of it, will there be any libertarians during that time?

I just got back from church, having been ashed. Of course, those lightly practicing Catholics showed up tonight in force. One of them sat there and watched as her young son CHEWED ON THE PEW in front of him. Scraping his top and bottom teeth, and then feeling the scratch marks he was making. I finally got up and walked… Read more »

“Sarge, my agenda is freedom and small/limited government.”
And a judicial system to keep the people in line when they vote wrong.

It’s easy to find pictures of Ms. Winsome Packer on Google, and she is attractive. But I wonder why she waited so long to bring charges for offenses alleged “from January 2008 to February 2010.”

I believe him when Bob says he has a prior engagement. But I’ll never understand why he so enjoys arguing here. Virtually no one agrees with him about much of anything, or even cares what he thinks or says. And yet he is back day after day for another round of it.

#98 Yes, I can. And I will. But that will have to wait until tomorrow. It’s time for pre choir practice ‘milk and cookies’ at a local watering hole. In the mean time, perhaps you could find some real evidence to support your irrational rantings. So far, you have failed to do so. Translation: I can’t unless I spend hours… Read more »

The Pride of the Democrat Party, Alcee Hastings, who is an impeached Federal Judge elected to Congress continues to make everybody proud. A former aide has sued a Florida congressman — claiming he touched her, made unwelcome sexual advances and asked her about her underwear. The lawsuit against Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) was announced Monday by the conservative legal group,… Read more »

#99 I see the point you attempt to make, and I point out that civilizations existed for many thousands of years before such narrow definitions of them came into existence and later became tools of authoritarians who wished to use governments to control everyone based on their particular supernatural beliefs. #98 Yes, I can. And I will. But that will… Read more »

#92 That is correct. I’ll add that while being a minority, the dominionists enjoy political power in excess of their numbers. Yet its the secularists in the UK who actually got a law changed that denies adoption rights to devoutly religious people. Can you point us all to any laws domionists have passed in Western countries that set us on… Read more »

Micheal Berry is talking about the first national Black spelling bee to be held in Houston.

ABSOLUTELY RACIST AND DEMEANING – IN EVERY MEASURE
Try to imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth for an all white spelling B.

No prejudice here.
Micheal Berry is talking about the first national Black spelling bee to be held in Houston.
He is ranting that it is a loser’s league because the participants are being taught they can’t compete with other kids.
I have a tendency to agree with him.

Have you done the google searches I suggested? You might find them interesting.

Sarge
March 9, 2011 3:14 pm

So let me get this straight, Bobby.
You disagree with what was done in the UK, but you don’t think its as big a threat as right wing dominionists who are, as you admit, in a minority?
That right?

#80 Simple, sometimes its interesting (and entertaining) to see who springs up to support opportunistic professional politicians. Newt may not stand a chance in 2012, but he is far from alone in his tactics.

#86 Newt failed to substantiate that point in any way, and so did you. He boldly claimed that atheists and secularists have the goal of destroying civilization. Those are his own words.
He made that irrational, fear mongering claim to a targeted religious audience. He purposefully lied in hopes of gaining their support. He is a liar.

Sarge

I answered your question and I did so honestly.

No, you didn’t.
Because if you did, you’d have to admit that Newt had a point.

#83 I think it is wrong to deny religious fundies the opportunity to help a child in need if they are otherwise qualified. I also think it is wrong to deny single people or gay/lesbian couples that opportunity. I answered your question and I did so honestly.

If a person has the means and the intent to provide for a child’s needs, their religious beliefs (or lack thereof) or their sexual orientation/marital status should not be used as a reason to deny them the opportunity. You DO have a problem with reading comprehension. Here’s the question again: Who’s more dangerous to our civilization: the folks you just… Read more »

Bob, Why are you getting in such a lather about Newt? That’s easily answered. Sarge, my agenda is freedom and small/limited government. Compare that to the agenda of the religious right wing dominionists (thankfully, they’re a minority) that want a large and powerful government to impose their beliefs on everyone via force of law, and mixing God with government.

You are free to believe it proves your and Newt’s fears, and I am equally free to say that such a conclusion is not based in fact, and is irrational.

Sarge, you are wasting my time. Newt talked about secular atheist elitists who want to destroy our civilization. You said it was a preposterous lie. Shannon provided an example.
