I Get It Now

So, I've been fretting just a little that I'm starting to approach the big 3-0 and I don't appear to be on the marriage track. But now I understand why:



It's all so clear now!

Random Dog Blogging

Riding home on the train... thought I'd share this nice picture of Mickey and Lily, my mom's two dogs. They usually don't get along that well -- little Lily steals poor Mickey's food and bullies him around, but look where we caught them when they thought we weren't looking!

Here Comes McCain Again

Video #2 from the McCain Girls... it's been tough to find because YouTube took it down, but I dug it up again for the time being.



Are they for real? I still don't know. My guess is now probably not, but either way, they're a political phenomenon. Either they think they're doing something to help their candidate and are so unbelievably mistaken, or it's an incredible piece of subversive reverse psychology, demonstrating just how square John McCain is -- it really fits in with his geezerness.

The Serpent's Punishment

Not much to do for the next 45 minutes, so I'm reading Scripture...

An Ceiling Cat said unto teh serpent, "cuz u did dis, cursd u aboov all teh moocows,
An aboov every one of those 4 leggd things that evolvd round here; upon ur belly u gun walk

An I gun take ur legs
An geev them to teh French 2 eatz An this is wut they gun eatz An they gun call it "Frawgs leegz",
An dust shalt u eated
all teh dais ov ur life
An u no getz no cookies to eated. An no cheezburgers neither. Srsly.

Genesis 3:14

Genesis 1: 29-30

Ummm...

Bush isn't the only musically-inclined politician out there...



On Friday night, a friend sent me a prank video shows three fat old men having sex in the shower. This one was more disturbing...

I've brushed off the idea that it's time for a new generation in the White House, but this is the best argument for it I've seen. Compare the above video to this one:



I just gave the Obama campaign fifty bucks.

More V-Day Poetry from the Ballas

From Pete:

Alas, my Jewish brothas,
Valentine's Day is for us others,
May your ballers be enough,
as for me it will be tough,
to get my butt there tonite,
cause yes it might start a fight,
even though yesterday was hump day,
nothing ever outdoes Valentine's Day!!
HUBBA HUBBA to All,
Have fun at B-Ball!!

Valentine Poem

From Paul on my Jewball listserv, regarding tonight's pickup game:

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
St. Valentine was not a Jew
So be at basketball tonight
It will only be a small fight
In two days things will be alright.

To all my none Jewish friends
I do not discriminate
Give her dinner & flowers
On your very early date
And get your butts to the court
So we can have at least eight.

The Dallas Reich

Well, we finally know the answer to a question we've all wondered about for a long time... who would Hitler root for in the NFL if he were alive today?

Turns out, the answer is the Cowboys. And he's a big T.O. fan (no surprise there!). See for yourself:

Ron Paul Doesn't See Color

I'm pretty sure he does, given the content of this TNR article, but Ron Paul, who came in sixth tonight among the Republicans in New Hampshire, says:

Oh, I think that that's completely wrong. And, you know, libertarianism is the enemy of all racism, because racism is a collectivist idea is that you put people in categories. You say, "Well, Blacks belong here, Whites here, and women here." Well, we don't see people in form-- or gays.

Hmmm... think he has a black friend like Stephen Colbert?

Ron Paul and his black friend Alan

Ron Paul and his black friend, Alan


But seriously, how on earth can we believe that Ron Paul didn't know about the virulently racist and paranoid filth published in his name for years and years?

At absolute, absolute best, that would make the man a bumbling idiot. Should we really be electing another one of those President?

UPDATE: Am I that insignificant that I can't get even one lousy Paulbot comment? Kirchick got 1285!

Southfield, MI -- WWJD About Single-Payer?

Hi to all from sunny Detroit! I think I'm going to post the Harrisburg photos later this evening.

I was having an argument with my friend Alan on Silicon Investor last night on the topic of how Jesus felt about universal health care. I always thought he would've been all for it, but then I came across a major finding during one of my regular Bible readings:

Luke 6:9-13, "And one day the Devil wilt put forth a prophet, and his name shalt be Marx. He shalt declare that ye people, both rich and poor, shalt not go without proper health care. Thou shalt denyeth him, lest thy soul be damned. And thou shalt taketh him to the public square, where thou shalt stone him, for the one called Marx is a false prophet. And ye rich shalt proceed through needles as camels slathered in Crisco."

I guess that settles it. Jesus hates Michael Moore.

Albany, NY -- No Way...

So, from the AP via Yahoo, in an article about circumcision:

But "while male circumcision has extraordinary potential to prevent HIV infection, these new findings remind us that we must proceed with thought and care in developing strategies to expand male circumcision in Africa," said Dr. Kevin De Cock, director of WHO's AIDS department. "Circumcision is an additional prevention strategy rather than a replacement for anything else."

Can that possibly be? A quick web search shows that it is, and I'm not the first person to catch this.

Man, why is my mind, and subsequently my blog, so dirty this week?

Albany NY -- God: Thou Shalt Not Skeet

Really funny work-related coincidence... this week on Stephen Colbert's latest installment of This Week in God on the Daily Show, Stephen Colbert did a segment on how three different religions punish the "sin" of masturbation. This afternoon, I was poking through MyJewishLearning.com's site statistics for July, and found that our 13th most popular page was an article by Rabbi Elliot Dorff entitled, "Masturbation: A Touchy Subject." So, for the Jewish view on the topic, check out that article. For three other viewpoints, check out the Colbert piece.
