It has always been said that you should never discuss religion or politics at the table. Well, since we are neither at a table nor eating, I have this to say:
To all Muslims who take offense when someone happens to sneeze in your direction - calm the fuck down! You take every word not spoken by a member of your faith far too out of context.
You are calling for the assassination of the Pope!? He was quoting the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith."Islam has had a violent history, but are we all just suppose to sit back and let you rape, torture, and kill any and all who do not believe as you believe? Your only education, the Koran, fuels the fires of your hatred and violence. Even if the world were to take a step back and let you run amok, what kind of life could you hope to live when you aren't even allowed to understand what freedom means?
Do our illusions matter more than our common humanity? Religion, in many parts of the world, has become the means of division and bloodshed. Religion has the capacity to divide us. We need to recognize that there is a difference in anybody's political position or moral position and God. We have to try to recognize that other people are also trying to be faithful even though we don't always agree. If we can all have that kind of humility, the art of politics can be possible.
And for those of you who were napping under a rock on Sunday,
here's the much talked about Fox News interview (16 min.) with President Clinton. Why isn't this kind of passionate anger ever put to use while in the White House? The whole conspiracy theory about the questions from the Bush Administration that Fox is asking Clinton is pretty funny. You can see part 2 of this interview here or read the full transcript here.
Osama Bin Laden - Is he dead?Did he die after eating E.Coli tainted spinach (LMAO)? For a good laugh, read this killer spinach story. Seriously, is he dead? Is the "supposed" French intelligence document leak that he may have died of typhoid real? How is it that we are unable to find this cave-mountain-hiding mo'fo, but are able to monitor his health? Talk about some booshit!

This is one of the most exciting fucking things I have ever seen, Sherry. Seriously, I can't even tell you what's going through my mind right now, but this is awesome. Chris Wallace is a little bitch who tried to ambush Clinton and was surprised to find out that we once had a president who was smart and articulate, and is in fact STILL smart and articulate. Smart enough to see through the Fox News BS. Surprise!
You're right, though: where was this when Clinton was in office? I want a president who's going to call people on their bullshit.
Oh, and don't you just love the way Chris Wallace tries to get the last word in with the introductory segments? As if we're going to believe this smirking chimp when, after his ambush fails and Clinton reduces him to a stuttering puddle of goo, that Clinton wouldn't let Wallace get to the CGI? That bit at the end of the first half, when Wallace condescendingly says "Up next, we FINALLY get to the Clinton Global Initiative," after we've seen him practically crying because Clinton had FACTS on his side and didn't bend over for Fox news...
Oh, man, I'm going to go out and beat the crap out of a neo-con today.
I love this interview. What makes me laugh is the way that Clinton looks at CW after he asks if he can finish asking the question. CW knows that Clinton is about to jump all over his ass and he's just trying to delay the inevitable. This is going to be a classic in the history archives.
Clinton is a putz. He's the dumbest "smart" President we've had in my lifetime. (As opposed to the smartest dumb President - Reagan.) Contrary to popular opinion, Slick Willy did not pull our nation out of its national debt. He was simply in the right place at the right time.
Regardless, I had fun watching the old fart get all feisty with CW when he tried to pull the fast one during his interview.
As far as Osama-lama-ding-dong...I have trouble putting my faith in French intelligence. Salad dressing? Fine...intel? Ah...no.
NDM: You forgot to mention that Ol'Willy is just about the most entertaining of our Presidents or at the very least, amusing.
I'm LMAO at the Osama-lama-ding-dong. Is that a song parody or something? If it isn't, it should be!
