for in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow...

this afternoon as I was surfing msnbc (a joint venture for two very massive and very profitable companies) I came across these four stories, the headline s have been change because I wanted to

out of town on a rail…

now I wouldn’t call myself a fan of Ali G, I only have a vague idea who he is because of a little bit of tv and the article that I’ve linked above. but surprise, surprise he’s not very popular in bum-fuck Virginia. they obviously didn’t get the underlying satire that the character of Borat represents. he was attempting to show that the stereotype of the middle-easterner perpetuated by the media and the government is laughable to the point of being dangerous….

who am I kidding they were doing it for a laugh and got what they wanted. they proved to themselves what everyone outside of the US already knows. Americans are dumb-asses, who can’t take a joke, that’s us, dumb-asses.

not just for germans any more…

the british royal family shows once again that they haven’t changed since 1189. prince harry, apparently, didn’t know it was in bad taste to wear a swastika. one could make the point that he is of Victoria’s stock and therefore heavily in-bred, but the gene argument will only get you so far. the royals can afford personal assistants and at least one etiquette advisor. someone, somewhere could have said, ‘oi ASSHOLE loose the hate-band.’ not a word.

so the royal family is sorry, and that seems to be enough for some, just like rick I’s holocaustum, you can say sorry enough. but it also seems his worst punishment could turn out to be not going to military school. what the fuck??

and in the beginning the Intelligence in the Sky said let there be light students…

this story came out a week ago, but with another story that came out today I think I can grouse on it. a school district in the seeming advanced northern states stated that science(specifically biology) teachers didn’t have to read a poorly worded disclaimer about evolution.

instead the idiot(and all are) principles of the various schools will read the disclaimer. the teachers can refuse, but the students still have the hear the crap. a few months ago I watched a penn&teller’s bullshit episode on the subject, and I took a moment to look online at the ‘treatise’ that is called ‘intelligent design,’ and anyone that states that id is not faith-based tripe did worse in science class than I did. id requires that the student take on faith, although I will agree it doesn’t use the word faith, that life was willed into existence by who knows what. and just to cover its bases, it also doesn’t have to say whose will is running things.

I say it’s my will, but kerry lost so my will is for shit.

Darwin ‘A,’ God ‘C-‘ hey, it’s transferable…

now onto the good news.

a judge in georgia(yes georgia) said that a sticker placed on biology textbooks in cobb county(that’s two ‘b’s for those of you that want to find the ass crack of hell on a map) was unconstitutional. who says the aclu is useless.

I’ll let my brother-in-law handle the witty retort to the creationists.

the sticker business is just silly, but it has given me an idea, I’m going to print up a bunch of stickers and troll the hotels of Texas placing the stickers in bibles. Let me know what you think on the my wording…

The theories presented in Genesis have not been proven and are in fact just theories, and therefore guesses, not fact or truth. In other words, made up. Lies, all lies.

Also God sees you when you’re in the bathroom. He knows what you’re doing in there, and for that he hates you.

God bless.
