I'm a Traitor

Chris Geiser, a marginally sane Christian at Food for the Soul tells us that

“anyone who is for taxation of the church is not only a traitor to the U.S. and its citizens but to Christ as well”

Really? That'd be me all right, but why? Well, he blathers,

“the U.S. constitution clearly states that the government of the U.S. cannot make a law concerning a religious establishment”

Well, of course it doesn't say that, but wait …  the First Amendment does say

“Congress shall make no law ... prohibiting the free exercise (of religion);”

Jeez, he could be onto something. If my religion tells me it's a sin to pay taxes --- Naw, already been tried, how about this --- MY religion teaches that Christians should be killed; it's called Jihad. Surely Crazy Christian Chris wouldn't want the govt. prohibiting my free exercise of that tidbit.

Everybody else would, though.  Damn! That means us churches have to obey the laws just like everyone else. Works for me, since we get all the benefits. But old Chris doesn't want to share his toys; he whines on …

“in America, if a church wants to be separate from the state, it cannot do so”

Good place to stop, that. Of course it can't. How the hell do you be separate from the state? These damn Libertarian types always think it's 1650, and they can go off and have their own little world away from all the big bad government. That's a nice little fantasy.

Y'know, when the Puritans came to America, the winds for the first part of their trip came from Europe heaving a big sigh of relief for getting rid of them. Since we don't have a New World to ship them off to anymore, let's at least tax the bastards to pay their own way.

IDF Attacks Tinkerbell

Jerusalem - Israeli naval commandos stormed a flock of fairies carrying cash and dental supplies into the blockaded Gaza Strip on Monday, in a botched raid that provoked interworld outrage.

Dozens of tooth fairies and six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the bloody predawn confrontation. The violent clash dealt yet another blow to Israel's makebelieve image, already tarnished by war crimes accusations over its Christmas blockade of good little boys and girls.

Israel said it opened fire after its commandos were attacked by feathers, loose change, and pixie dust as they rappelled from a helicopter onto the Lost Boy's pirate ship. Late Monday, it released a video that it said supported its version of events, although pixies don't show up on film, as everyone knows.

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman says the attack on the tooth fairies was legal under international law. He described the fairies putting money under pillows as an act of terrorism, saying: "Israel is a sovereign state and cannot accept the undermining of its sovereignty. Israel has stopped reindeer in international airspace before and when sleighs refuse to heed our warnings, we have the right to blast them out of the sky." He went on to say that the tooth fairies "were not peace activists but terror supporters." Lieberman praised the soldiers who he said "show great restraint and bravery while under attack by imaginary creatures".

Lieberman, whose heart is two sizes too small, said that Israel had warned the Magic Kingdom "from Mount Crumpit. All our efforts were rejected. These fairies were dangerous: they can fly, and they were equipped with arms. Legs too.” He noted that Israel allows parents to put money under pillows, through its grinches, after checking that there are no warm fuzzies, and that many parents do so.

Reaction was swift and harsh, with a massive protest in Neverland, Israel's longtime ally which unofficially supported the mission. Whoville announced it would recall its ambassador and call off military exercises with the Grinch state. Santa called for a meeting to discuss the issue Tuesday at the North Pole.

Fuck Off And Die

Tony Hayward, CEO of BP, says he's really concerned about the oil.

HEY, TONY;

the Blob, Petroleum

Back in the 50s some science fiction guys dreamed up a fantastical   alien threat to humanity, a horrifying amorphous blob that devoured  everything  in its path.  Nobody predicted that only 50 years later,  it's real,  it's here, and it's coming to kill us.

Check out this  site: it's a real-time satelite feed showing a map of the current  extent of the surface slick from the oil volcano. You can move it around  to get an idea just how big it is. Type in the name of  your home town and see how it looks.

Here's a screen shot of it centered  on Seattle, wiping out three National Parks, all of Puget Sound, the San  Juan Islands and Greater Sea-Tac Metropolitan area.

Changes

For over a year now I've been reading the Quran and posting my thoughts as I went along, for 300 posts. Gawd, I am so done with that.

Now,
I've decided Imma keep on blogging, as Uzza. To keep things separate from the Koran stuff, I'll rearrange things, and you can see up top how I changed the name of the blog.

It's a whole new blog! Yay. Should be more entertaining than the Quran was.
