Ug: “We’re quite pleased, because fertility is not a disease,”

Christianity is a disease!

No, religious fundamentalism is a disease. It is not a theological problem, it’s a psychological problem.

No, human hubris and a total disrespect for those who are different is the disease, regardless of whatever religious context is used to mask this cancer.

apropos. interesting (to sox and all baseball fans) discussion yesterday on Dkos prompted by the following remark in the following diary, ostensibly a defense of Joe Torre. The diarist got slammed for erroneous facts, including the rendition charge, about the Sox, while getting Torre the respect he deserves inclduing from Sox fans.
So for Pups who like teams besides our Jane’s Lakers, here is a link to the discussion and a wakeup thought:

And is there a legitimate progressive way to discuss politics and race in baseball? to highlight progressiveness in MLB?
Taking away Rudy’s Yankee stadium privileges is a no brainer, but are there serious ways that baseball can be a vehicle for bringing issues to attention of fans?

And need I say on this glorious morning, it ain’t over until…well you know what Yogi the Berra said…
Go Sox. Even if it means I have to wear a red shirt every day until it’s over and won…since I hate red except in apples and cranberries and did I mention sox?
Pushing the submit button before the coffee kicks in and makes me regret this soul bearing.

“To Red Sox Fans (those who root for the team with an entirely white fan base, the last team to integrate and an owner who let the CIA use his private plane for rendition flights)–it’s over for the season.”

ha ha I found a typo. You said 1955 when you meant 1255

Wasn’t it the Philadelphia Enquirer who called Rick Santorum “one of the finest minds of the 13th century”?

Bravo, bravo!

If you are a pre-ordained by god chosen person then everything will work out for you. Since they are rich and powerful they must be pre-ordained so yippie for them and screw the rest of the population.

Poor = Not chose by god.

I am not saying any of this is true…it is just a very short way to obsolve this viewpoint.

Frankly I think truly spiritual and religious people are not compatible with this view point. Certainly Jesus wasn’t.

So what am I going to do with my KOKE T-shirt?

Hold it. Someone is collecting Air America memoribilia. Might be worth a lot on ebay someday.

It’s amazing that I can’t get laid more, with all this fucking going on in here.

newtonusr funny.

Which is why I never listen to Rupert Murdoch who predicted that the Iraq war would result in oil falling to $20 a barrel. Fucking know-nothing fucker.

my guess is that all of these arseholes were long oil shares when this war kicked off. The war’s just a personal piggy bank for the Texas oilthugs

I would put nothing past these people.

Nonsense! It was for all of the oilthugs, not just the Texans.

true.. oilthugs everywhere. Why not.. buy the guvmint so that you can get the taxpayers (and hapless American soldiers.. mostly from disadvantaged backgrounds) to create conditions of global uncertainty and scarcity to drive up the price of a commodity that you control and which everybody depends on. Gives new meaning to the word “kleptocracy”
