Insurance Company Rules

My only question is how come it's taken so long for someone to come with this?

Really!?! With Seth and Amy

A pretty good roast of Senator Craig.

Compared to some of the other shenanigans going on in Congress of late, Craig is, as my dad put it, "small potatoes." No pun intended. (Actually, he probably did. Dad's wit is dryer than the Sahara.)

Nevertheless, the man is an idiot. His closet is damn near pathological. There's a reason that gay men have the signals they do. It's because the average man taking a pee in a public bathroom doesn't do those things! Can you imagine the catastrophic consequences if gay men had chosen shaking of the unit as their signal?

Remember these signals were developed in a time when a mistake would likely have proven painful if not fatal. Depending on where you are, that probably hasn't changed much.

Color me apostate

Check out this audio recording from an LDS mission conference. I can only link to it because "Embedding as been disabled by request." We'll see how long it stays up.

It must be a sure sign that I have fallen from the true faith that I think this mission president is completely full of post-processed bio-matter. I just makes my blood boil to listen to nonsense like this coming from a man who is in a position of authority. I'm sure at least part of it is my own issues cropping up here since it was speeches like this that had me hating myself and believing I was a worthless sinner for years.

A few points of interest:

  1. For starters you don't get pornographic pop-up unless you are on shady sites to begin with. Anything is possible, I suppose, and maybe the surfing the Internet in Europe has different norms. Europe is generally more tolerant of nudity than the U.S. Still, in 10 years of working on the Internet, I have never been "surprised" by a porno pop-up. If his wife is getting pornographic pop-up in his own home, it makes you wonder where she's surfing.
  2. Assuming innocence on the part of his family, I have two words for him: pop-up blocker.
  3. For another it is beyond absurd to suggest that a single pornographic pop-up necessitated a hasty retreat to the bathroom to relieve the tension. The kid was surfing porn. The pres buying the kid's nonsense that he was the victim of a random pornographic pop-up is just one more indicator that he has no idea what he is talking about.
  4. How about that guilt trip? "You're not getting baptisms cause all you have to do is wank just once and God will abandon you." How about: They're not getting baptisms because France (and Europe in general) is very skeptical of religions of all stripes and particularly of religions that brand masturbation as Satanic.

Sacrilege . . . or satire?

I imagine there are some who don't distinguish between the two. But, in my humble opinion, it's only sacrilege if after watching you're thinking, "Jesus is HOT!"

Dr. Laura, err…I mean Jacobs, gets a dressing down

I used to fantasize that I would find myself standing at the Bar of Judgment on Judgment Day and be allowed to witness Dr. Laura, Pat Robertson, et al get a dressing down by someone with a bit more authority than the President of the United States. This is likely as close as I'm going to get. :)

Priceless.

A must see clip from Boston Legal. "Big religion." I'm going to have to remember that.
