Methinks Rick Allen dost protest too much

Meet Rick Allen, he's a sanctimonious republican congresscritter from Georgia. Whatever good he may have been doing as a conservative, he looks like a moron after having read anti-gay bible verses before a May 2016 vote on a spending bill that included a statement about non-discrimination based on orientation.

Among others, the verse he read was Roman 1:27, a letter from Paul which by most interpretations basically condemns homosexuality and says gays are worthy of death.

Two points: why are grandstanding politicians reading bible verses into the congressional record to try to sway the vote their way? In a nation that by law, respects ALL religions equally, I don't think personal religious beliefs regarding morality should play an official, public role in policy making.

Second, haven't we learned that when a politician is this pietistic in his opposition to an activity he regards as indecent and morally objectionable, we'll probably at some point find him to be a secret participant of that very activity?

Every day is a good day to mock Islam

As with all Islamic terrorist events, and there have been many, we are told by our superiors and the media that it's about guns, anti-Muslim bigotry, global warming, jobs, anything but Islam itself.

And we are cautioned about provoking attacks by slandering Islam.
Well, I'm here to slander, or in this case mock Islam specifically because I'm not supposed to.....I'm disobedient like that.

[And now we return to the new hit TV show from Iran not starring Ed O'Neill or Christina Applegate, "Married To Children"]

The religion of peace strikes again

I hope that after the massacre at an LGBT club in Orlando last night, gay Americans will finally see that it is democrat style liberalism that denies the existence of Islamic terrorism......it only acknowledges terrorism. LGBTQ Americans would be better served by libertarian/conservative politics. Liberalism and the political correctness that accompanies it, only endangers them. 

ISIS issued a fatwa recently at Ramadan commanding all Muslims to attack Americans in America, yet the Obama administration, and by extension most federal law enforcement, persistently refuses to acknowledge Islam as a threat. 

To be sure, the democrats and media will focus on the guns used as the cause of the massacre rather than the twisted ideology that actually caused it. 

Pursue happiness any way you like

Heh heh heh, residents in Mt Prospect, Illinois are upset because a business just opened that caters to adults who're into pretending to be babies. Apparently all legal and property requirements were met and there's nothing legally actionable here.

Evidently the club has rules against anything sexual taking place. It's just grown-ups wearing diapers, playing in pens, and being fed by other consenting adults....all enjoyed by appointment-only behind locked doors.

One of the aghast, busy-body residents squeaked about the proprietor, "He's getting his party on in there, and we're just supposed to sit back and watch?"

Methinks the only things compelling this guy to "watch" are his own prurient interests.

There is no evidence that "adult babies" are a threat to anybody. They're a little weird in how they pursue happiness, but essentially harmless. If they are consenting adults engaging in otherwise legal activities and not hindering others' pursuit of happiness, then it's not our business to tell them they cannot. 

Mars' first colonists must breed

So the Mars One project has whittled the field of applicants for Mars colonist down from 20,000 to 100. Now they'll bring those 100 together for 5 days of rigorous teamwork testing and standard NASA evaluations.

Presumably the whole point of human colonization of another planet is to reproduce, otherwise what's the point? It occurred to me that perhaps one of the criteria be that you must be desirable to the opposite gender, in order to facilitate mating.

I'm guessing age discrimination is why they didn't pick me because it couldn't have been undesirability.

This prime specimen of human evolution would meet the above requirements, ideally. 

The gorilla wasn't asking for it, that's why

Allen West wrote an article lamenting the fact that the nation was beside itself over the gorilla being shot, but barely even noticed that 68 people got shot(5 dead) in Chicago over the same weekend.

That's because the gorilla didn't do anything to earn being killed, while we're used to scores of people getting shot in Chicago every weekend.

You don't see gorillas loitering on street corners looking for trouble at 2 in the morning, belonging to violent drug gangs, or robbing liquor stores.

I'd bet that of the 68 people that got shot in Chicago last weekend, 60 of them probably did something to invite it or otherwise had it coming. That's just life in Chicago these days, but getting shot isn't part of normal life in the gorilla enclosure at the Cincy zoo.

You can't save sick children with Facebook likes

We all have friends on Facebook who regularly post ""Like" if you want to save little Timmy", or something. Timmy's either lost in the woods, has incurable brain cancer, or microcephaly from the Zika virus. 

The idea that clicking "like" on Facebook somehow helps somebody, anybody, in crisis is absurd. All it does is let the clickers feel good about themselves that they helped, without actually helping in any way. 

That's why I laughed out loud at this meme. To click on "like" to save Timmy is to believe that Jesus is checking the numbers to see if he should save Timmy or not. It's patently idiotic. 

Islamic smart phone

Heh heh, some dopey Imam in England has introduced a smart phone specifically for Muslims. It has a bunch of Islamic-oriented applications and like 80 hours of mind-numbingly boring speeches by him. 

Among the Islamic apps are.....

-building an IED for dummies
-finding the welfare office nearest you
-democrat voting registration made easy (citizenship not required)
-flight simulator 
-You too can be a reader
-soap, it's not just for infidels
-washing dirty night shirts--laundry made easy
-using this phone as a detonator

The funny part though is the curious symbol it uses for wall paper. It is weirdly phallic....which is a huge violation of Islamic law.

Heh heh, how do you parody Muslims when their self-parody is so hilarious?

Intentional use of bad grammar in advertising irritates me

So I'm doing some traffic work down in Foley, Al, just north of Gulf Shores. There is a restaurant here, very popular with the bourgeoisie, called Lambert's. Their shtick is throwing your bread at you before you eat it.....their slogan being "Throwed Rolls".

There's no telling how many dumb hillbillies think that "throwed" is a word because of this. I will not go there and underwrite the notion that all Alabamians are illiterate rubes, although our being at the bottom of the national education rankings does make exactly that argument.

Still, intentional bad grammar, even if colloquially kitschy, annoys me.

This is not all of us, though she is kind of fetching.  ;-)

Heh, verybody hates KW

I have to say I'm enjoying immensely these gorilla memes......the Interwebs are very clever doing what they do.
