Ex Cathedra

Tony Dungy is a total Jesus head. Norv Turner can take it or leave it. Result, as we all know, Chargers: 28, Colts:24.
But at long last we have positive proof. Dungy said in a previously unpublished interview, “Jesus really fucked us over . It’s probably the curse he placed on the Irsay family [...]

The White House and the right-wing blogosphere have an explanation for Scott McClellan’s book making the news: ‘lib-ruhl media bias.”
Hey, keep those new ideas coming, guys.
As Spring turns into Summer  there’s a real Canary or two who may sing, and  they’re arguably not covered by executive privilege. Keep a happy thought.

I’m taking time from my snoozing meditations for this important news item:  the Spongebob Squarepants Musical Rectal Thermometer
OK, were the title and subject  of this piece too disgusting even for me?
Guess we know now.
Btw the comments on that article were priceless.
Here’s one more, sort of relevant from Paul at going.com titled “You think you hate [...]

Sure, the “100 more years of war” guy has thrown Hagee and Parsley under the bus, but Joe Lieberman — apparently forgetting that a serious number of conservative voters, in the privacy of the voting booth, voted against Gore because he had a “Jewboy” for a running mate — is still kissing [...]

Sara Whitman, as she often does, wrote an article that’s both homely and profound about a robin who keeps bashing his head into her window, trying to beat up his own reflection. One of these days our Vast Readership will go straight to Sara’s blog and skip this one.
Sara notes that the robin keeps on [...]

Hillary vows to fight on, and I wish I’d penned this observation myself. (It comes from a submission to the NYTimes letters to the editor and I am stealing it because I liked it so much.)

As I watch Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s continuing campaign for her party’s nomination, I see a self-focused politician who, [...]

Remember the last time we talked about bad movie expert and right-wing Christian Michael Medved? He was telling us slavery wasn’t all that bad.
