Luke vs Matt & Mark
Whoever wrote this 'Luke' section of the bible sure is better than those other hacks. This guy even has an introduction, says it's the straight dope on what was handed down by the eyewitnesses. That sure beats starting out with two pages of 'begats'.
He writes better too, with adjectives, and character development, so you can actually read this—as opposed to trudging through it with a bottle of scotch after tying yourself to a chair.
He kind of overdoes it, his characters keep bursting into song like West Side Story. Most of page 125 is Mary erupting with a speech about how her Lord is the greatest, bestest, awesomest, most ass-kickingest, do-goodingest dude EVER; then two pages later Zech goes off for twelve verses how god is gonna kick ass and take names, and his new baby's gonna be Da Man. It doesn't make much sense, but
you know it's important because it has wider margins.
Outside of that, it raises ghosts. Some lines, like “there were shepherds ... keeping watch over their flocks ...” gave me cold chills and memories of my Catholic upbringing, that I've tried hard to forget (Thanks, Luke) but it makes sense they'd quote this guy instead of the hacks. All in all, Luke looks promising.

Do I Look Tough?
No dude, you look gay. Really gay. And the sooner you realize there's nothing wrong with that and stop trying to compensate, the better off you'll be and the whole rest of the world.

Short, insecure, repressed homophobe Lindsey Graham masturbated his ego at the Halifax Security Forum last Saturday with these gems (Dawg's Blog gives the whole thing):
“The one thing that changes the world as I know it is Iran with a nuclear weapon”
In the world the rest of us know, it's sawed off little twerps who need to show the world how tough they are by picking on gays, stomping on women, starting wars.
“the idea of containment to me is off the table, so that takes us back to the idea of being tough.”
No, that takes us back to the idea that you're an asshole, unlike sane people, who aren't all turgid for Ragnarok like you are.
“So my view of military force would be not to just neutralize their nuclear program, which would probably disperse and harden, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force, and deliver a decisive blow to the Revolutionary Guard.”
Limpsey dear, nobody else wants to blow the Revolutionary Guards, no matter how much they harden.
“In other words - neuter that regime, destroy their ability to fight back, and hope the people within Iran would have the chance to take back their government and be good neighbours to the world in the future. So that's what I mean by being tough."
In other words, you mean “insane”. Repeat Iraq and Afghanistan and hope things will turn out different. Great plan there: stupidity, sauteed in the hypocrisy of talking about being good neighbors in a sentence that plans genocide. Also, "neuter" them? Freud called, he wants his slip back. Also his fake boobs and butt plug.
Seriously, Fabulous Miss Lindsey, stop trying to be a tough, rough, manly man. It's not because you're gay that we hate you, it's because you're an asshole. Even if you were tough, we'd like you better if you didn't persecute and murder people.
