Stupid Republican idea of the day

I’d just want to be around when she sneezes, and say, “Oh, I guess you didn’t pray hard enough, or give enough money. God’s mad at you!”

Dan Flynn, who is running to be a state rep in Texas, is using seriously anti-Islamic literature.

“God bless you. Oops, too late”

Republican lawmakers are threatening to cut off U.S. funding for the World Health Organization’s cancer research program over its finding that the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup is probably carcinogenic to humans.

The only religious Inklings I ever liked were Tolkien and Lewis…

And Charles Williams.

Ooooooh, you like Charles Williams? NOBODY remembers him any more, and I’ve always loved him.

I remember reading Place of the Lion. Loved it, nd meant to find more, but then realized I was trying to be “deep and literary”, so I went back to rereading some Narnia instead…

Let’s meet at the Bird & Baby and talk this through over a pint. Or six. :wink:

A Fox News executive is whining about the US Olympic team being too gay and too dark.

No, see, what the Word is telling Christians to do is to go down to their nearest Rite-Aid or Walgreens or CVS and get a flu shot. Do what the Word says, and sure enough, you won’t get the flu.

There is so much stupid in that short piece.
He complains about the team being too diverse and believes that the team is selected not on qualifications, but on some imagined quota. Perhaps he would like to start something like, oh I don’t know, White People Affirmative Action.

Why can’t Fox News be subjected to constant ridicule with quotes like this held up to universal derision? I’d love to see the network become marginalized (or fined out of existence).

Many Dimensions! Shadows of Ecstasy! War in Heaven!

I must run now to my bookcases and see if I can find those ancient paperbacks! Time to reread (when I get through the rest of the to-be-read pile…).

CMC fnord!

As I wrote elsewhere;

Yes, it’s horrible that these pesky minority people keep qualifying for the Olympic team and taking slots from well bred, but slower and less athletic heterosexual white males.

Yes, building an athletic team on the basis of diversity quotas would be incredibly stupid. Fortunately, no one on earth does that.

If you are being sarcastic, is there a team your sarcasm is targeting?

No sarcasm. I was responding to the Fox News exec who saw a diverse US Olympic team and assumed, without any evidence, that it was because some politically correct quota had been imposed. To the best of my knowledge, no sports team on earth uses racial quotas – just athletic ability.

Thanks for the clarification.
