I’m not a churchgoer (other than weddings and funerals, I haven’t been since I was a kid), and I reckon that’s a good thing, ‘cuz church seems to be a pretty dangerous place these days. I don’t know what this guy’s story is, but I can’t help but think it’s all part of the hatred fomented by the Limpricks and savage Weiners (not to mention the Falwells and Pat Roberts) out there. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Hey, I guess I actually did get a little something out of church, after all. Too bad so few of the Kristians out there don’t seem to have been paying attention.
So, looks like the octomom is shopping her birth tape around for seven figures (I know this, because it the single most important thing going on in the world). Really? Somebody would pay to see that? You’d have to pay me to watch that. If that’s something you want to see, just turn on Animal Planet and sooner or later you’ll find a Great Dane or something giving birth to a litter of pups. Same thrill, I would think (and a lot cheaper).
“Save Rocky, the Snakehead Fish” t-shirts will be available soon. I don’t know if they’ll keep Rocky out of the frying pan, but Rocky’s dad says the money will be going to benefit animal rescue groups. I see no reason why the DEC feels compelled to execute a ten year old pet fish that lives in a 200 gallon aquarium. Certainly, they could look the other way or give him a special permit or something. This is the same DEC, you may recall, that tranquilized a poor harmless little black bear to death last May. Bastids.
Friend-o-swift boaters T. Boone Pickens (who also worked to get Bush selected over Al Gore, and who admitted to voting for John McCain and the “Drill Baby, Drill” party on Bill Maher this week) says it’s not about Political Parties. Glad to hear it, Boonie, and, while I’m on board with the whole wind thing, I have to say “fuck you very much” for eight years of Bush – that, thank goodness, didn’t turn into 8 – 16 years of McCain/Palin.
Lots of rain around here over the weekend. Walking on it, the ground feels as though you’re walking around on a big wet sponge, and there’s lots of flooding all over the place. If it would stay in the 50’s, I wouldn’t mind so much, but 38 degrees and rain just plain sucks. I’d rather have snow. Especially since I just ordered new Gore-Tex® gloves and an Elmer Fudd (or maybe Floyd R. Turbo) hat. By the time they get here, it’ll be too warm to wera ’em. Now I’ll have to try not to lose them before next winter.
Oh well, time to be a happy idiot, and struggle for the legal tender. Have a happy Monday.
It’s 6:55 and it’s DARK. I have to leave in 5 minutes and it will still be dark. Bleh!
A wide-ranging study on American religious life found that the Roman Catholic population has been shifting out of the Northeast to the Southwest, the percentage of Christians in the nation has declined and more people say they have no religion at all.
Fifteen percent of respondents said they had no religion, an increase from 14.2 percent in 2001 and 8.2 percent in 1990, according to the American Religious Identification Survey.
Northern New England surpassed the Pacific Northwest as the least religious region, with Vermont reporting the highest share of those claiming no religion, at 34 percent. Still, the study found that the numbers of Americans with no religion rose in every state.

I can’t figure out why they want to kill that fish either. Seems foolish given they can’t survive in the cold waters where it lives, in a tank, in a house, nowhere near the waterway…. :billcat:
while I’m at it. The Octo-mom is clearly mentally ill. Why do folks try to parade her as a novelty within the norm? The woman needs H-E-L-P.
Kp, in case you missed it, S. Jim left a tip on what you might do with that $20 Nellie tried to break for you the other day at the end of yesterday. I would tell Nellie to keep the change.
Nah, tried 3 banks. I have about half of it. I even threatened one bank that I was gonna follow my dog around and get the other half for them. :smack:
Boring conference is over. Crossword puzzle helped.
My boss likes to say one thing and then change what she has said. But, instead of saying, “I’m changing this” she says to anyone who says, ” But, but, you told us to do——-.” she looks at the person and says “Different brains hear different things.” and never acknowledges her switcheroos. Very annoying, she is.
My thought is to never ask her anything but there is always that ass kisser who just can’t hold it in.
Calling into question the legitimacy of all the signing statements that former President George W. Bush used to challenge new laws, President Obama on Monday ordered executive officials to consult with Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. before relying on any of them to bypass a statute.

One of my bosses does that too, Sue. They don’t listen. He’ll say Thursday and point at Friday on the calendar. Since they’re the boss, they do no wrong so it must be my fault. Do we have a scapegoat emoticon?
That’s a great idea, KP…a scapegoat emo!
FatHeaddie will be hosting MSNBC show 1600 PA Ave. tomorrow.
I was running some errands/going to the gym today while my car took a smog test and rode on the streetcar with ‘superpimp’ Craig of List fame. You think a pimp might ride in higher style.
Bad news, Krista. I read earlier today online that Charles Barkley didn’t have to wear the pink underwear because he was on work-release two of the days he was doing time.
Although it’s just as well. One of the guards probably would have taken a cellphone photo of Sir Charles in his tighty pinkies and plastered it all over the Internet. A picture I would just as soon prefer not to see.
