Maybe if Conservatives could be convinced of the militay uses of healthcare they would not object?

Post Rapture Post - The Postal Service of the Saved

"Do you know someone who is in danger of being 'left behind' because of a sinful life? Imagine if you could write a letter to a friend or loved one after the Great Day of Reckoning. Maybe a message to your family telling them to trust in God, and that everything will be okay. Perhaps you would leave instructions to care for your pets after your departure. It could be that your message is the light that opens a sinner's eyes to the Glory of God and allows them entrance to Heaven during the trials before the Second Coming. This is where the Post-Rapture Post comes in."

I read this on an atheist site called Post Rapture Post. As an atheist site it's owners promise to hand deliver letters written by saved Christians to loved ones left behind after the Rapture. They don't fool me.

Any right thinking Christian knows that atheists are morally inferior and could not be trusted to keep the smallest of promises let alone one of such importance.

Secondly, what if these atheists repent of their sins and are saved? No man is beyond redemption and a deathbed conversion would be a typical, shabby atheist trick.

I will not be parting with my cash.

The alternative to chiropractic

I don't want to offend people who swear by chiropractic but this story sums up what I think.

A friend was suffering from shoulder pain and decided that he would go to a chiropractor for help. She gave him thorough examination and advised him what to do. In fact, she tried several different therapies but nothing seemed to work.

A few weeks later his wife insisted he decorate the kitchen he had been putting off for ages and guess what? The pain disappeared. The up and down movement of painting cured his aching shoulder - but not for long. About a week after he had finished the pain returned.

He took painkillers for a while but could not bear it any longer. He rang his chiropractor and told her how decorating had eased the pain but it had returned. Had she any more advice. She had tried everything she knew and all she could say was, "Decorate the bedroom."

Dick Van Dyke

Diagnosis Murder makes me laugh. That may not always be its intention but still it makes me laugh. You see, I like Dick Van Dyke.

From his early appearances with Phil Silvers, huge success in his sitcom with Mary Tyler Moore and his many films, I have always liked him. I enjoy his humour, his acting and his charm.

I even forgive his Cockney accent in 'Mary Poppins'. A Dick Van Dyke accent is how the British describe an American attempting an English accent but not succeeding. Yet we love the film and we love his performance in it.

I post this picture of him as a small tribute. He is eighty four now but as handsome today as when he was a younger man. I'm sure many women must be thinking to themselves, "I wonder what it's like to kiss wrinkly, old Dick."

Obama and the Cubans

Barack Obama has signalled a thaw in relations with Cuba this week by relaxing travel restrictions to the island.

Has he gone completely mad?

Presidents love to have a scary communist regime in America's backyard. Its presence can be used to deflect attention away from any embarassing problems that might arise elsewhere.

That is why they continued its Cold War attitudes and it is why no President since Kennedy has gone all out for regime change. That and Cuba's lack of oil.

Of course, Obama might really be a great President and won't need a smokescreen to hide behind. Let's see.

The love of money is the root of all evil - Part 2

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Has anyone thought what this means? Think about it......it means anything that doesn't have the love of money as its root cause is not evil.

Kill for money....evil. Kill for any other reason....not evil.

Simple really.

The love of money is the root of all evil

An American preacher once told me, "You can't buy your way into heaven." Then he asked me to give cash to his church. I figured he must be false. Any fool knows real churches take all major credit cards.

Lipstick on a pig

"Lipstick on a pig" means to dress something up as beautiful but it remains the same. Barack Obama was talking about John McCain's economic policy at the time but somehow it became an attack on McCain's running mate Sarah Palin.

The somehow was a party machine intent on dirty tricks and the controversy is one of those straw man smears the American Right loves to instigate. Truth is not a strong point in American politics, as far as I can see, and this week's offenders are the Republican Party. Next week I have no doubt it will be the Democrats.

One thing is for sure, anyone looking for change at the White House will have a hard time finding it. To me it looks like the same old, same old. The Republican candidate is too stupid to understand a simple expression.

Holy cow! ............ which is an expression used in America to show their veneration of the cow as a God, I believe.

It's funny how ........

It's funny how when you're faced with a blank piece of paper all the things that were in your head fly away into the heavens and are lost. That is why this blog entry is so short.

Oh Crap - Not Another Celebrity DUI

So Nicole Ritchie has been arrested for driving under the influence - not alcohol, of course that would be way to cheap. But she was completely out of it when arrested and now faces a media feeding frenzy.

It follows on the heels of Paris Hilton's brush with the law which resulted in thousands of hours of television coverage and acres of newsprint.

Lindsay Lohan has also been in the news for drunk driving and is reportedly wearing an ankle bracelet to monitor her alcohol consumption.

There is nothing funny about alcohol and drug abuse and it's especially unfunny when you try to drive. You turn your car into a lethal weapon.

But I get the feeling that none of this has anything to do with a celebrity cry for help. Nicole Ritchie is just pissed off at the publicity Paris Hilton gained and wants some for herself. Lindsay doesn't care about the ankle bracelet though I bet she wishes it was by the right designer.

Celebrities assume there is no bad publicity - just publicity and that is the air they breathe. They can afford rehab so the judge will go easy on them when they show up in court and demonstrate they are trying to mend their ways. Above all they have clever lawyers who will make sure the sentence is the least possible.

Meanwhile the poor schmucks who can't afford the rehab and the lawyers will get a jail sentence for sure.

What a pisser. It makes me want to go and drown my sorrows.

UFO Disguised As A Cloud

This guy claims to have seen UFOs disguised as clouds and has the video and photographic evidence to prove it - or maybe he just saw clouds.

Watching clouds is a great and wonderful pastime when you just want to relax but please ... UFOs?

What a pillock!

It's Cool Being An Engineer

This is a great piece of video.



I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who thinks it's real or put together by a non-professional. Sadly it's an advert for the Norwegian Hydro company trying to show how cool it is to be an engineer and probably cost a small fortune.

It's fantastic though - and apparently there are two of them in the series. I haven't found the other yet

Ten Thoughts to Ponder

Yeah - why not some thoughts for the day?

10. Life is sexually transmitted.

9. Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

8. Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

7. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.

6. Some people are like a Slinky…not really good for anything, but you still can’t help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

5. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

4. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

3. Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?

2. In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now The world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT:

We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven’t got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

Bet We Couldn't Do This

Not only only could we not do this but the guy who pulled off this amazing shot couldn't do it again - I wonder how many times it took before it went in.

It Happened In Monterey

This video shows a witch flying over Monterey in Mexico. There is no other explanation.

As all Monty Python fans know witches are made of wood. This flying object also appears to be wood. Ergo it is a witch.

QED

Virginia Tech - Who Is To Blame?

This blog won't weary you with a rant about who is to blame for the massacre at Virginia Tech. The Blame Game has started and we are indebted to Cynical-C Blog for an initial list of candidates.

The list will grow as all sides argue, 'Our view was the right one and yours is wrong.' Their politicking ignores the families of the dead who are left to deal with the aftermath of a monstrous act.

To an outsider the ease with which Americans can arm themselves is incredible. Seemingly with few controls they are able to possess weapons that are designed for the battlefield.

It is their constitutional right, of course. But it seems that to retain this right they are happy to pay with an occasional senseless massacre. That's the American Way.

Westboro Baptist Church Says Thank God For IEDs

Westboro Baptist Church continues to sicken the world with its brand of Christianity.

They already picket the funerals of American soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan because they are fighting for a 'faggot-enabling nation'.

This clip thanks God for IEDs - Improvised Explosive Devices - and praises God for sending America's young people home in body bags.

George Bush - Towering Intellect or Moron?

Much has been said about George Bush's lack of intelligence but it can't all be true, can it?

Hell no, the man is wonderful and his gaffes are merely post-modern irony. Any right thinking person can see that.

Unfortunately there are fewer and fewer right thinking people around these days so the stupidity tag looks like it's going to stick.

Never mind Mr President - it's all water off a lame duck's back.

Gordon Brown: New Labour's Bogeyman

Labour's pick for next Prime Minister is likely to be Gordon Brown. Pick is the operative word and drilling in the nasal passages the order of the day.

Never mind that Gordon might represent something more old Labour (but not much more) than Tony Blair - that isn't his real claim to being a bogeyman. Have a look at at the major excavation work he undertakes while Tony addresses the House of Commons.

It must be difficult to pay attention during parliamentary work but surely he could find something a more seemly than ramming a finger up the snout all the way to the wrist.

Stripping In A Flash

They say everyone has a talent. My own is the ability to swallow my own head but that's another story.

This guy comes from Japan which has a talent for making things smaller and better. Why they want to undress so quickly is beyond me.

The video looks like it might Japanese version of "The Gong Show" where even the most talentless could become famous.

Just like a Big brother contestant.
