A Good Year for the Outlaw

Heading out of Peoria on Alta Road around noon today, and I had to stop for the traffic control – two Peoria County Deputies being pulled out of serious duty to direct traffic (I’m assuming this is the much-discussed Northwoods Church post-service traffic jam).
My question…does Northwoods pay these deputies so the county doesn’t [...]

Following an Explorer this morning, one of those with the little outlined fish on the tailgate that is apparently only there to signify “I’m better than you, I’ve got a christian fish”, and I find myself dodging peanut shells, or something like that.
You see, the driver is tossing peanut or sunflower seed shells – or [...]

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Three weeks ago, if you’d ask this casual observer of the NFL if it would be cool for the Arizona Cardinals to make the Super Bowl, I’d have said, “sure, why not, good for them”. But then I remembered: Kurt Warner is their quarterback now.
As I sit here watching the last ditch effort by [...]

…THE #1 reason this woman CANNOT get close to the White House.
Palin Says Election Results Rests In god’s Hands
Read the whole story, it talks about her 20 minute interview with James Dobson in which her true zealotry and lunacy came out.
F’ing yikes.

So, when a pastor gets up in a pulpit and breaks U.S. Law to endorse a candidate, and knows he’s doing it, how can christians justify this behavior from their clergy?
How come christians aren’t listening to one of their own, who says it’s wrong to endorse from the pulpit and doesn’t do it in [...]

I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around this for quite some time, but still no luck.
According to the likes of George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and everyone else who supports a ban on gay marriage, the following is true:
A coke-addicted, bar-fighting, gun-totin’, redneck, seven-outstanding warrant-havin’ outlaw of a male getting married to a [...]

Sarah Palin’s family is “off limits”. So says Mr. Obama, and the GOP approves. So do I, as far as talking specifically about Ms. Palin’s daughter.
That being said, I will NOT keep the discussion “off limits” as it pertains to the hypocrisy of the religious right neo-cons who are so “energized” with the selection [...]

After not watching more than two laps of NAZICAR racing all year, I flipped away from NBA playoff action for a few minutes to see what indeed was up these days in the world of big league stock car racing, the once-great sport that has been ruined by a greedy, bigoted sanctioning body. Thought I’d [...]

So another teacher gets sent to the big house, this one for 48-years, for molesting two kids, ages 7 and 8. He got what he deserved. But I’m going to offer up a little career advice to him anyway:
If you wanted to be a perv and abuse defenseless kids and not go to jail, you [...]

CJ Summers feels the same way I do about some bogus emails making the rounds.
I got that very email from my aunt in Minnesota a few weeks back, and answered with some links disproving the email. Sadly, I got back not one, but TWO ridiculous responses from other recipients of the original email.
One said, “…it [...]

I’m still amazed at this one.
How about 40 days of officials and legislators and law enforcement people getting together to figure out better gun laws?
How about 40 days of raiding the homes and vehicles of known criminals and convicted felons and getting the drugs and guns and everything else they shouldn’t have?
How about 40 days [...]

I saw this ad at pjstar.com tonight:
Professional/Technical
WPEO Christian Radio Assistant to the Manager/Community Relations Director
As some may know, I’m in the business of radio, so I always read these kinds of ads to see what other stations are looking for, and sometimes if I’ve got a buddy looking for work I can direct them [...]

I see where the catholic church (or more correctly, the vatican) has released a “10 commandments” for driving, rules of the road, if you will.
I’ve got an idea…instead, how about if the church works harder to protect young alter boys from getting molested by pedophile priests and I’ll worry about my own driving. Sound fair?

“Textbooks are Soviet propaganda.”
Yeah, I mean, what the heck can young people learn from…textbooks?!?!?
“Homosexuality is Satan’s diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.”
Oh…my…supreme being.
“I do not believe the homosexual community deserves minority status. [...]

I’m sure the anti-war, pro-choice, gay athiests are somehow to blame.
EDIT: Just to remind the idiot (starts with a V) where the genesis of this comment came from:
 And, I know that I’ll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the [...]

I was up in Iowa Saturday, and grabbed a newspaper to read between events at my kid’s district track meet. Track meets are like drag racing events….you get a race, then seven minutes of nothing…then a race…then a delay to put hurdles on the track, 12 more minutes pass…then a race…but I digress.
My ire was raised [...]

So James Dobson, the vile leader of the wrongly-named “Focus On The Family”, is pretty upset at John Conyers’ bill regarding Hate Crimes. Is the bill perfect? Of course not, it’s hard to find a perfect piece of legislation. But it’s a damn good start. And Dobson’s anger is ironic, as Stephen Colbert succinctly put it to [...]

I’d have put this on Vonster’s “blog”, but comments aren’t allowed, so it goes here:
Vonnie says that communism “has killed 100 million people” in his new sub-title. Um, er, well, where do we start? I’m assuming from his tone and his past, we are supposed to say, “wow, that communism is the worst thing EVER.” [...]
