I’m Funny [Dan Collins]

The New Life Church congregation would also like to thank Ted Haggard for his past oral services. Some, but not all, of the allegations true.

News of Afghanistan. Featuring Karzai’s website?

Yes, I like the News so much, I started my own website!

NYT confirms Iraq connection to Al Qaeda [ahem]

But I’ll bet they didn’t intend to. In their zeal to make the Republicans look bad right before the election, I doubt they meant to legitimize this. Office of the Presidency Intelligence Service M5/3/9/2 The Honorable Mr. General Director Manager M5 Subject: Information Our Afghani source numbered 11002 had provided us with the information on the denotation paper number -1- ) The Afghani Consul Ahmad Dahstani (the information on the

Obsession Reminder – Updated [ahem]

Fox News is airing a special this week-end based on the film, Obsession. The first showing will be at Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET, and will be repeated Sunday at 1 a.m. ET, 5 a.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET. The film contradicts those who say that Muslim extremism is prompted by our actions in the Middle East, pointing out that anti-Western propaganda, school curricula and other indoctrination of

Australia’s Top Muslim Cleric (Cycle 2): Don’t Call It A Comeback [Karl]

Senior Muslim Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilaly, who ignited a firestorm of controversy in Australia with a Ramadan sermon comparing immodestly-dressed women to uncovered meat, has said that he will retire from his position if a specially created “ethical court” finds him guilty of condoning rape or suggesting women are to blame for sexual assaults. He has also said he will perform 600 hours of community service and wear masking tape

It’s Always the Quiet Ones [Dan Collins]

Every blogger has certain people whom they rely on to give them good advice and links.  Usually, they’re not the ones who are commenting all the time.  They’re the lurkers, the ones who actually watch and listen.  PattyAnn, in my case, who’s suggested this bleg. I was bemoaning the fact that I signed on to a United Way fundraiser tomorrow at work to her.  I work at a large gift

Are You Blind? [Dan Collins]

Well, that sucks.  But if you were deaf, you wouldn’t even be able to hear Kevin Federline sing.  And imagine what you’d be missing. Someone who’s working on the problem at the University of Michigan has a request, passed on to me via Jeff: > This is Shelley Batts at Retrospectacle at ScienceBlogs > (http://www.scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle), and I’ve been a reader of your > blog. > I am a Neuroscience PhD

Bowflex Ultimate 2 fallout, 1

So yesterday I did a bit of work on my obliques for the first time in ages, and this morning, much to my surprise, the protests began in earnest—first from my lower back, which felt it unfair that it was being made to carry the stress for a flaccid region that has long neglected its own defenses; and second, from the obliques themselves, who insisted that they are an independent

About the author: Robert Anton Wilson [A post by Beck]

When the parking lot appears to be purple, a globule living with a turkey shares a shower with a tentacle. Wilson believes that a steam engine of an apartment building reaches an understanding with a spider the size of a german shepard, but he also considers how often the loaded bong gets stinking drunk. Now and then, the FNORD about an astronaut laughs and drinks all night with a support

“I’m Sorry You Misunderstood Me”

I think I’ve seen this sort of apology before…
