This matches with Jonah Goldberg saying the Navi of Pandora should accept Jesus Christ into their hearts. The Mighty Wurlitzer needs an overhaul, the magic smoke is leaking out.

Bill Kristol’s expression was priceless. He was looking for a potted palm to hide behind.

Hume understands that organized religion is the big “get out of jail free” card. Do anything you want, as long as it is in the name of the religious fairies. The Catholics got it a long time ago; it was just fine to torture people as long as you went to confession on Friday or said, three times, it was gods will, it was gods will, it was gods will.

leaning on and/or blaming some imaginary wisp in the clouds is a comfortable way to go through life, well a lot more comfortable than facing reality. Richard got it when he had “god on our side” while murdering Moslems; the bushies and Oh Bummah! get it too.

Why this obsession with Tiger Woods getting laid is beyond me, the guy had sex, that’s it, a roll in the hay maybe even an orgasm….WTF

Monogamy?

Aren’t men just a wee bit insulted too? Are they really such slaves to biology? Does the lure of fresh skirt overcome every other interesting human instinct? I’m talking about the new Shaggers Charter, proposed by French psychologist, Maryse Vaillant. According to Vaillant, men should stop being castigated for being womanisers.

Good morning, pups. It’s Bobo, Cohen and Herbert this morning. Oh, crap. I’m not ready for Bobo to discuss “The Tea Party Teens” and opine that the tea party movement is now more popular than either major party, and it may become a major force in American politics. Who is he talking to, the inmates of the local laughing academy? Mr. Cohen is in Hoi An, Vietnam and, in “Pancakes, Prosperity, Peace,” he says cooking to reconcile, a Vietnamese woman shows the way toward healing the wounds of war. Mr. Herbert has “An Uneasy Feeling” that our society is in deep trouble and the fixes currently in the works are in no way adequate to the enormous challenges we’re facing.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got bagels with cream cheese today. It’s warmer than it was yesterday, but still below freezing. The birds are eating sunflower seeds and peanuts and pretty much leaving the regular seed alone, and I’m going to have to dash out back as the sun comes up to refill the peanut feeders on my way to work. Have a great day.

Gilles de Rais, Seigneur and Baron de Retz (1404 – 1440), was a Breton knight, the companion-in-arms of Joan of Arc, and a Marshal of France, but is best known as a prolific serial killer of children. He was born in late 1404 to Guy de Laval and Marie de Craon, but grew up under the tutelage of his maternal grandfather Jean de Craon following the deaths of his parents in 1415. De Rais’ fortunes increased substantially with his marriage in 1420 to the wealthy Catherine de Thouars, and gifts of money granted him following the War of the Breton Succession. From 1427 to 1435, Rais served as a commander in the Royal Army, and in 1429 fought beside Joan of Arc in some of the campaigns waged against the English and their Burgundian allies during the Hundred Years War. In 1434–35, he retired from military life, dabbled in the occult, and depleted his wealth by staging an extravagant theatrical spectacle of his own composition.
Sometime between spring 1432 and spring 1433, the first child-murder occurred and was followed by similar crimes. The victims may have numbered in the hundreds.

Bluebeard as he was also called well there are rumors, stories among them he was one of three french knights chosen to protest Saint Joan. There are rumors he killed those kids in an attempt to bring Joan back with black magic.
Black magic like prayers that people die something the GOP is very familiar with.

I’ll take Bobo serious when the Tea Baggers get bigger crowds than the Immigration Rights marches:)

Probably Woods will hire some PR firm to handle his re-introduction to the public, and that will include some degree of “born-again” and fake piety.

I can’t wait to see what Doghouse Reilly has to say about Bobo’s column today. NOBODY skewers Bobo the way he does. Here’s an example. The only thing that makes reading Bobo tolerable is trying to figure out exactly where Doghouse will stick the shiv.

It takes two to tango:). Somehow I doubt all the cheating men are only with single women. But Male ego’s do not want to hear women can be like that.

“It’s a wise man who knows his own father.” Heh.

Hume’s ‘Christianity’ = ‘Get Out Of Hell/Hotwater Free’ card.

If only Sandy Hume had accepted Jesus as his personal doormat…

The truly wise admit they know nothing.:) Though they do ask allot of annoying questions.

I’m not truly wise but in 40 years who knows? I am working on my annoying questions though.

“Some men can spend the afternoon in a hotel with their mistress and come home to dinner with the family without any feelings of guilt.” It goes without saying that Vaillant is a man’s woman. She dedicates the book to “the men I have loved and those who loved me”.

This doesn’t sound like its a one time or even a one time long time thing with her she likes married men. By excusing them she excuses herself.

Brit come on African American’s don’t get the Christian get out of jail free card no matter what church they belong too.

The Ipsos/McClatchy organizations have been asking voters which party can do the best job of handling a range of 13 different issues. During the first year of the Obama administration, the Republicans gained ground on all 13.

The public is not only shifting from left to right. Every single idea associated with the educated class has grown more unpopular over the past year.

Bobo knows the Dems are still more popular than the GOP right? Are the young shifting or is Bobo assuming facts not in evidence?

The public is not only shifting from left to right. Every single idea associated with the educated class has grown more unpopular over the past year.

Bobo you have a degree so does every climate change denier they put on tv. The GOP thinks stupid = Common Man and Science is Elitism.
Fine Bobo next time you and Rush get sick please have only a Creationalist be your doctor.
Me I want only Doctors who believe in evolution.

The story is the same in foreign affairs. The educated class is internationalist,

No the NeoCons and Darth are internationalist the Left has wanted out of Iraq, Afghanistan no war with Iran, Yemen etc for awhile nice try trying to steal our issue.

Any uber-urban readers out there who don’t get the deer in the headlights metaphor…find video of Matthews taking on Politico’s John Martin last night.

The tea party movement is mostly famous for its flamboyant fringe. But it is now more popular than either major party. According to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 41 percent of Americans have a positive view of the tea party movement. Only 35 percent of Americans have a positive view of the Democrats and only 28 percent have a positive view of the Republican Party.

Bobo look at support for the Public Option and by that measure the Left is more popular than the Dems, GOP or the Tea Baggers.
Exclude immigrant hate and include support for National Healthcare now paid for by taxing the rich in other words the Lefty position and what kind of numbers do you get Bobo.
I’ll believe your movement is grass roots when you the majority population (white) can get bigger numbers than the immigrants rights marches got even though the press branded it a Hispanic ( minority ) cause.

Why what happened?

I think we should challenge Brit to name one African American who has ever been forgiven by the GOP, Fox News etc for cheating sleeping with a white woman.
Come on Brit you say the God of Fox News will forgive African Americans name one they have forgiven for that crime.

Has Diaper Dave been on Fox lately?

memo to brit: he wasn’t porking alter boys.

sorry.

A lot of what Doghouse says goes over my head but, if we’re talking about body parts, I know where I’d like to see DHR stick the shiv.

Brit’s been defending the church on that?

Good morning everyone.

Nice to have Faux Noise to shove around. Not.

Has Fox ever forgiven a Dem? Has Fox ever not bore false witness against Dems? Just where is the fair and balanced?

Chris Matthews absolutely eviscerated Martin about being Drudgified.

As Dylan Ratigan would say…trend or talker?

He uses you like he uses Drudge

My bold Classic takedown…and twisted, mind is reaching for the brain bleach already.

That comment is a George Bush snap the towel at the guys in the shower putdown if I have ever heard one.

Let’s call a spade a spade. The American public is by and large ignorant and easily manipulated. The “average” American reads at a 7th-8th grade level which means they are able to read medication labels, product catalogs and “popular” fiction. They are lulled and dulled with endless and mindless offerings of sports, violence and celebrity. They have no understanding of their own history and are memory challenged. Only 25% carry a passport meaning 75% know nearly nothing of the outside world other than what the popular media tells them. Who would really be surprised if the “average” American swings back to the one party that is arguably a far greater threat to them than cave dwelling terrorists. I didn’t read “What’s the Matter with Kansas” but I can’t help but wonder if the author discovered that by and large the good citizens of Kansas were basically ignorant.

You think the polling is accurate and Bobo is right for once? I might believe the polling was right…but Bobo right?
Also that 7th -8th grade reading level how does the average break down between red and blue states.

Community College students in Illinois for example are smarter than our last President despite him having a Harvard MBA.
Come to think of it the entire Lake has Bush and Obama’s economic team beat.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

and the Lake is a very tiny sliver of enlightenment adrift in a sea of ignorance whether it be willful or otherwise.

Tiger’s business is his business. Serial cheater on his wife and two small kids, he’ll probably pay for that. He’s made a billion dollars to date on his role model image, about ten percent of that from actual golf tournament winnings. He won’t be making that in the future. Though a billion is still a big check to cash in on a lie. Brit Hume is an idiot. He should leave Buddhists alone.

Indeed.

Jesus has taught Brit to Love His Dead Gay Son.

A more decorous scribe might well have stifled himself in light of. . .

“Hume [Sandy] committed suicide in his apartment in Arlington, Virginia. In the months before his death, Hume, an alcoholic, had begun drinking again. The night before his suicide, Hume was jailed for drunk driving and tried to hang himself in the U.S. Park Police jail cell. He was evaluated at a psychiatric facility and released. He went home and took his life with a hunting rifle. He left a long note expressing shame at the previous night’s events.”

Robert Dodge, national economics correspondent in the Washington bureau of The Dallas Morning News, began the discussion by introducing one of the most recent examples of an allegation destroying both a political career and a life — an alleged affair between U.S. Rep. Bill Paxon, R-N.Y., and young upcoming Washington reporter Sandy Hume.

A leaked allegation about the two made national headlines and has been cited by many as the most likely factor in the journalist’s decision to kill himself and in the congressman’s decision to retire from public office in spite of a blossoming career.

The importance of covering such a story, according to Dodge, is not so much to find out whether an individual is lesbian or gay, but to uncover the motives of individuals or organizations that are using leaked allegations to undermine political foes.

The implication that Hume & Paxon were “involved” was spread by Gingrich & the establishment GOP in Congress to thwart an uprising against him. One might think that would cause Hume to have some anger against Gingrich — but that would denote some sort of non-sociopathic behavior. Newtie boy has been having Brit rub one out for him for the last 8 years.

http://rising-hegemon.blogspot.com/2006/04/well-this-is-sickening.html

Brit sacrificed his son for love of Newt? Talk about being whipped.

This concept cracks me up — do whatever you want — just tell Jesus you’re sorry. And, of course, do MORE bad things. The trick is to not die suddenly — make sure you have time to tell Jesus you’re sorry — and you WIN!

What a cheap way to describe Christianity.
