St Patricks Day (us) lands on a saturday

That's not good. The jails will be full on Monday waiting for the DUI judge to pass sentence.

St. Patrick -- one of the few saints whose feast day presents the opportunity to get determinedly whacked and make a fool of oneself all under the guise of acting Irish.

Today is the day we remember when the world-wide skeptical community had their skeptical worldview decimated by the 100% REAL LEPRECHAUN SIGHTING in Mobile, Alabama.

It was seen by hundreds of people — even more than saw the resurrected Jesus! If you don’t believe, just watch this video. Why would people lie?



How can you argue with a magical flute? Checkmate, aleprechaunists.

Today, the news report was “songified” by The Gregory Brothers. Watch it. Now.

Dirty GoogleAd Tricks

I perused Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes this morning. Looking for a reason to put pants on and venture out. Needed some motivation. My quest was halted reading "Jesus Loves You" in the middle of the page. Stopped me like a Blind Lesbian walking past a fish market.

 My buddy Friedrich who said, "In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point." and  "A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."  

My bud. My Prince. My late night Tequila bottle is half empty friend.

Christianity as antiquity.-- When we hear the ancient bells growling on a Sunday morning we ask ourselves: Is it really possible! This, for a jew, crucified two thousand years ago, who said he was God's son? The proof of such a claim is lacking. Certainly the Christian religion is an antiquity projected into our times from remote prehistory; and the fact that the claim is believed - whereas one is otherwise so strict in examining pretensions - is perhaps the most ancient piece of this heritage. A god who begets children with a mortal woman; a sage who bids men work no more, have no more courts, but look for the signs of the impending end of the world; a justice that accepts the innocent as a vicarious sacrifice; someone who orders his disciples to drink his blood; prayers for miraculous interventions; sins perpetrated against a god, atoned for by a god; fear of a beyond to which death is the portal; the form of the cross as a symbol in a time that no longer knows the function and ignominy of the cross -- how ghoulishly all this touches us, as if from the tomb of a primeval past! Can one believe that such things are still believed?

from Nietzsche's Human, all too Human, s.405, R.J. Hollingdale transl.

Dirty bastard Google.

Nietzsche, by examining a neglected aspect of his scholarly personality, has a sense of humor. While often thought of as ponderous and melancholy, the Nietzsche is a surprisingly subtle and light-hearted writer. Reading the numerous literary risks that Nietzsche takes reveal humor to be central to his project. That use of humor is intended to dislodge readers from their usual, somber detachment and to incite imaginative thinking.

 'A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.' 


Thank you, sir.

Santorum Saying of the Day / Get Rid of all the GAYS

Mr. Frothy

Gone mostly unnoticed until very recently is a comment made by presidential candidate Rick Santorum during a December 30th NBC News interview, in which he made clear his intention to nullify all legal same-sex marriages currently in existence across the country.

The latest census data, collected in 2010, puts the number of married same-sex couples at 131,000, but that number is likely higher now.

Santorum said he plans to introduce an amendment to the Constitution that would not only make same-sex marriages illegal throughout the nation in perpetuity, but would also invalidate all existing unions.

“We can’t have 50 different marriage laws in this country,” he remarked. “You have to have one marriage law.”
The former Senator has come under fire in the past for comparing same-sex marriages to the matrimony of “man on child” and “man on dog.”

Both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich has expressed their intention to ban same-sex marriage through a Constitutional amendment, but have not gone so far as to demand the retroactive nullification of existing marriages.

Ron Paul, who is personally opposed to same-sex marriage, says the federal government should not be involved in deciding who can and cannot get married.

Asked how he would go about getting such an amendment approved, given growing public support for gay rights, Santorum inadvertently made a powerful appeal to history in favor of marriage equality.

“Just because public opinion says something doesn’t mean it’s right,” he said. “I’m sure there were times in areas of this country when people said blacks were less than human.”

Santorum's Google Fix

As of this morning, the infamous definition of the word “Santorum” is no longer the top search result on Google.

Spreading Santorum, the website that helped popularize Dan Savage’s alternative meaning, was stripped of its top search result status two nights ago. It was replaced for a time by the markedly filthier Urban Dictionary definition (which even grossed Savage out), but now that too appears to have been moved down (at the time of writing, it is in the number four spot).

Urban Dictionary

SearchEngineLand took a wonky look at what exactly happened, and came back with a pretty troubling response.

It seems Google has been working behind the scenes to implement new SafeSearch features that are left on even when you’ve turned SafeSearch off. One of these features prevents “adult” results from showing up when Google has deemed them irrelevant to the search.

In other words, if you’ve searched “Santorum,” Google “assumes” you’re not looking for frothy fecaled lube, but for the presidential candidate.

Another newly implemented feature aims to return “official sites” as the most relevant search result, and Google again “assumes” that Spreading Santorum is not Rick Santorum’s official site.

So, no more Google Problem for Rick, but an even bigger Google Problem for the rest of us. Fair trade?

Pee-Wee Hermans Big Porn Adventure

Pee Wee loves Dolly more than anything else in the world. The only thing is, she’s not human. She’s a doll. But Pee Wee doesn’t want to admit it. To him — and only him — she’s as real as the bowtie around his neck, much to the chagrin of Lizzy, a sex worker with a heart of gold who longs for Pee-Wee as much as Pee-Wee lusts for Dolly.

Just don't know what to say???
