Do
You Believe In Magic?
 Here's
my basic problem with organized religion.
Let's say I'm sitting on a bench waiting for a bus,
and some guy happens to sit down next to me. To
pass the time we might talk about sports, news,
weather, or politics. We can relate.
Now let's suppose another guy sits down next to me
and wonders out loud if I worship the same giant flying
carrot cake that he does. And is insulted if I don't.
Do you know how many religions there are in this world? Do you know how many
variants of Christianity alone there are? Do you know how many fist-fights you
can get into on any given day on a bus? Why the (your chosen venue of spiritual
punishment goes here) should I be expected to be versed on world theology just
to keep peace while in transit? And (your imaginary friend's name goes here)
help me if I happen to believe in the celestial divinity of a differing form
of airborne pastry.
So please understand that I don't hate your particular brand of spiritual fantasy.
I simply have more important things to think about. Like keeping an eye on those
who fervently attempt to incorporate their chosen myths into the laws of this
land.
Enjoy your Rapture, everyone! (What? You don't know
what that is? Good for you!)

Republican Job Creation Update
 "We're
going to have a relentless focus on creating
jobs." -
John Boehner, February 10, 2011.
The following is #100 in a list of Republican
job creation activities
since they gained control of the House in
2011. None, sad to
say,
have
yet to result in one, single new job.
(100) 10-21-2011: The Washington Post is firmly in the Conservative pocket but
even
they came
right out and called the Republican jobs bill "ludicrous" today. Oh,
snap!
NOTE: As a result of an unexpected wave of enthusiasm
the Republican
Job Creation update now has its
own web site. It will remain on the RP but a
web site of its own will raise its visibility
on the 'net as
we progress towards the critical 2012 elections.
And I thank you for your support.

Dump Fox News
 And
what manner of lie is Fox News spewing today? Fox tries
again to tar the Obama presidency with the Solyndra brush. They fail.
