Trying to work on an epically huge, possibly more than I can chew post on prayer, but I’m also distracted by my work laptop being pretty busted up, so it might have to wait til tomorrow. At least I have a minor tidbit of good news to report (with minimal comments). Via McClatchy, Obama’s remarks …

The Religion of Peace* (Unless You Draw Stuff We Don’t Like)
In case you haven’t already seen it, Lars Vilks was attacked by Muslims upset at his cartoon of Muhammad as a roundabout dog. It was caught on film. * Religion of peace my pasty white ass. The man has religious fatwas and a $100,000 bounty on his head — with a $50,000 bonus if his …

You can see the oil slick from space. What was once permanently sequestered underground was released in our ever-increasing lust for oil, and with a haste spurred on by that lust, we tapped more wells, wells that were more dangerous, more nearly inaccessible, and more seemingly remote from human civilization, to the point where we …

Humanists Sending Ambassadors to Canada’s Prayer Breakfast

Fatwa Envy
The main story thrust of the recent two-part South Park episode that sent Muslims into a hate-frenzy and induced Comedy Central’s genitalia to wither and die, was an attempt by celebrities — chief among them Tom Cruise — to kidnap Muhammed and somehow use his powers of avoiding mockery for themselves.

Maddow on yet another gay anti-gay activist
Been gone for a while. Very large work project. Very much one failure after another. Know what perks me up a bit after a bad week like this one? Why, a little bit of schadenfreude, of course! Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy I for one am shocked, SHOCKED, …
