Hurricane Irene... I Guess God Decided We Needed More Coastal Destruction

Religious people will probably tell you that the reason for this potentially very destructive Hurricane coming up the east coast of the U.S. is because "It is part of God's plan". Hmmm... Would somebody please explain to me why the perfect, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving God feels that it is a good idea to send a destructive hurricane to destroy our homes and kill many of us?

"Hmmm... You know what the east coast of the U.S. hasn't had in awhile? A devestating hurricane. Let's make that happen."

God works in mysterious ways, of course. Nothing like a perfect, all-loving, super logical being to "mysteriously" and randomly throw destructive obstacles in our human ant-farm. It couldn't just be naturally occurring weather patterns. Nah, it couldn't be.

Thoughts? Queries?

Bill Maher: "If hypocrisy was uranium, they (Conservatives) would power the planet"... Are Americans Closeted Socialists?

July 29, 2011 Clip: New Rule – It Gets Better

Do the American people really secretly love socialized programs? As Bill Maher demonstrates in this clip of a recent segment of "New Rules", certainly many of the detractors (Often Teabaggers and other conservatives) of Socialized programs and "big government" ignorantly and/or hypocritically denounce such programs, while shamelessly taking advantage of them. If we don't love big-government ran programs, then we certainly often happily rely on them.

What do you guys think?  Leave your thoughts, both American and international opinions are welcome! 

(We will revisit this video in the next post to tackle a separate issue raised by Bill Maher.)

Living in a Post 8/5 America: The Day Nicki Minaj and Her Left Nipple Betrayed Us All

What are we going to do now? Nicki Minaj's left nipple has been exposed on public television. How can we, as Americans, possibly move forward from this? Somebody must apologize for this scandalous demonstration of state-of-the-art plastic surgery to the American public.

ABC says in a statement: “We are sorry that this occurred.”

Damn right, you're sorry. How am I going to erase the image of this woman's nipple from my memory? How are babies that saw this nipple going to recover from the trauma of thinking that were about to be fed, only to remain tragically malnourished? How are we supposed to explain to our children that you need bags of saline to make a titty look that hard and perky? What about all the 11-year-old boys that were playing hookie from school that day, only to see their first fake titty? These are the pressing questions that we must now answer, unfortunately, in this post 8/5 America.

God forbid someone sees the nipple on that synthetic titty!

Luckily, we have the Parents Television Council to save the day. Refer to this timely and necessary statement from the organization, "For the umpteenth time in recent memory a morning news show has included inappropriate content for children and families. Instead of asking for forgiveness, they need to stop apologizing and implement the five second delay that so many Americans have been calling for."

Indeed. God forbid the American Public has to endure the devastation of  yet another fleetingly-visible nipple. This must end NOW.

My heart goes out to all the families who were innocently hoping to enjoy a wholesome performance from Young Money artist Nicki Minaj, only to be horrifically betrayed by her exhibitionist, left knocker on that fateful morning. This blog stands as a testament of your courage during these trying times.

8/5/2011... We will never forget. 

Solemnly yours,

"Geronimo! Enemy killed in action!"... More details about the moments before Osama Bin Laden's extermination are made public:

This doesn't exactly fit the specific topics of this blog, but it is peripherally related and very interesting, regardless. This video report from CNN discusses some of the intimate details of the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound by the U.S. Navy SEALs. It includes details of how they entered the compound, who they encountered on the way (and dispatched of the sorry bastards), and finally, how they exterminated that pesky insect Osama Bin Laden. It also discusses the President's reaction immediately following  the declaration of Bin Laden's death, as well as other interesting details.

I'd like to commend the U.S. Navy SEALs for their bravery and efficiency in this mission. To my readers... Enjoy, and share your thoughts!



IF the video isn't working, as I think it might not for some of you, here is a direct link: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2011/08/02/exp.tsr.todd.bin.laden.raid.cnn?

Sorry for the technical difficulties!
