His Silky Pwn3yness: “I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs,” Edwards told the site. “I think he would be appalled, actually.” Yes, I clearly remember the part from the Sermon on the Mount where the Lord said, “Blessed are the Ambulance Chasers. Not.” And in the latter days (eschewing
Jameson Observations 1 (cranky-d)
First of all, on the rocks. You might take a first sip, but generally you want to give the ice some time to melt a bit. To me, Jameson tastes better when it’s a little diluted.

My Top Five Questions For Mrs. Bill Clinton, The World’s Smartest Woman (CraigC)

“‘Cause tonight, living in a fantasy, in My own little nasty world. Tonight, don’t you want to come with me, Do you think I’m a nasty girl?” Sweetie, fantasy is what it’s all about. And yes, yes I do. At least, I hope you are. Answer ghosted here->“Nasty Girl,” Vanity (written by Prince)

Earlier today, in response to a post from David Thompson, I had an email conversation with him about the Church of England. He said the following: Well, I think people like the Bishop of London are picking up on the passive-aggressive tactics favoured by Muslim lobby groups: “Poor us. Feel our pain. We’ve victimised. So do as we say.†Maybe we’ll have a theological arms race on our hands, as
