Wander, Atheist soldiers

Wander, Atheist soldiers, anywhere you may,
With the book of Darwin leading you astray.
As our moral compass swings an aimless arc,
We shall ever strive to lead all into the Dark.

Refrain

Wander, Atheist soldiers, anywhere you may,
With the book of Darwin leading you astray.

Barbecuing babies, crossing 'gainst the light;
No deed is too heinous for our evil fight.
Our big problem is, though, with no moral stuff
We can't tell which actions are evil enough.

Refrain

So we're left with Darwin, Evolution's source;
But nat'ral selection's an unguided force.
Chosing Bad o'er Good we must therefore defer;
Let our motto be, then, "Like, man, whatever..."

Campaign Humour

Here's a McCain supporter who hilariously doesn't want Obama supporters to park in his lot...



"For political reasons, he's just throwing a little humour into the presidential race":

"I don't expect to go after anyone with a baseball bat. I would grin at them and laugh and ask if they could read English".
Given the US's rich tradition of racial segregation, that seems a little strange to me. But hey, I guess it's just comedy.

Then there's these:


See, here's what I don't get. You can say these images are a joke - that they are not meant to be taken seriously. But if they are a joke, the joke is "Obama looks like an arab terrorist". Am I meant to laugh at that?

Now, take as an alternative some "progressive liberal" humour. Is the message here that Sarah Palin will give you VD? Or that she'll fire ping-pong balls from her vagina to get votes? Or is it more subtle?

________

For me, comedy works when it's not laughing at someone... It's laughing at attitudes, expectations, mores, ourselves... It's not about inciting hatred and mistrust and fear and ignorance. But them I'm a godless liberal, so what would I know?

Obama v. McCain/Palin



How did I miss this one? I can't find the original source. If anyone has the proper credit, please let me know...


I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different."

* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American
story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well
grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become
the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a
voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend
12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a
State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people,
become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human
Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate
representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131
bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public
Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real
leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000
people, then you're qualified to become the country's second
highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches,
you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left
your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month,
you're a Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the
fiber of society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with
no other option in sex education in your state's school system
while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very
responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position
in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner
city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's
values don't represent America's.

* If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude," with at least one DWI
conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote
until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the
secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely
admirable.

OK, much clearer now.

Debate Aftermath & Hamas Shocker

SNL on the VP Debate. Great stuff!



Meanwhile, in real life, Sarah Palin, honest-to-goodness Hockey Mom and the choice of Joe Sixpack to keep Iran in line, doesn't appear to know who Hamas are... (That's one of those "gotcha" questions I guess...)



If you believe the polls, it's not looking good for McCain.



ElectoralVote.com has more, and this nice bit of analysis (my emphasis):

"Rasmussen took a poll asking who won the Vice-Presidential debate and Obama supporters gave the nod to Biden by 81% to 3%. McCain supporters thought Palin won, 76% to 5%. Were they watching the same debate? The CBS poll of undecided voters said Biden won 46% to 21%. The CNN poll gave it to Biden 51% to 36%. The country is so polarized that it is apparently impossible for a McCain supporter to say: "Biden is a much more experienced debater than Palin so he naturally won the debate. By the same token, McCain is a much more experienced candidate than Obama, so I am voting for him." The model is: my party, right or wrong (Version 1.0 was "my country, right or wrong")."
I've spent time over the past few days on various pro-McCain/Palin blogs. The kind of places where people think the BBC, CNN and the AP are openly biased towards Obama, and where they think Fox is fair and balanced. Places, in other words, where the stupid burns. I'll maybe blog about it a few days, when more of the feeling returns to my brain...

Voting for Vaginas: Sarah Palin

Lots of good stuff in this video:



And after the comedy, the horror... LiberalRapture.com are real genuine former-Hillary-supporters-who-will-be-voting-for-McCain. Here's some of their recent "trenchant analysis":

The last debate went as expected. McCain won on points. The media declared Obama the victor. Not at all surprising... I'll take a stab at the VEEP debate...

Both will say at least one foolish thing. Only Palin's will be reported on and repeated by the media. The "moderator" will find trying to trip up Palin impossible to resist. Her bias will be noticeably, though slightly, in evidence.
CNN/MSNBC and every one else besides Fox will declare Biden the winner. Fox won't call a winner but highlight Palin's "realness"
Don't blame me - I voted for Kodos...

Very NSFW.



I grew up with Billy Connolly. My family lived all over the world, and Billy's albums were my one contact with my Scottish roots. Here he rips on religion, suicide bombers and sexual repression.

I'm John McCain, and I am a liar..

If you ain't seen this rebuttal to McCain's attack adds, you oughta. It's all going to get much nastier before it gets nicer...



Now's not the time for me to re-hash the horrors of the US Election Campaign... Check out En Tequila Es Verdad's excellent daily coverage; the ever interesting Andrew Sullivan; and my fave stat-meisters Electoral-Vote.com.

Need another video? Here's Gina Gershon skewering everyone's favorite VP candidate hockey-mom...



Nicely done...

Evolution Cthulhu Style


Who says evolution is purposeless?

Cthulhu is the Way!

HT: cthulhu.com.

PTET

Cthulhu is the Way

Hello. I am PTET.

Just recently, people from all over the world have been visiting my blog to see a picture I found of a little girl sitting on the lap of a cthulhoid monster.

I wondered if this was telling me something.

After all, everywhere we look we see signs of the end of days...

War...
Famine...
Pestilance...
The anti-christ walking the earth...

Personally, I think that all this interest in Cthulhu can only mean one thing. The time is coming for the Great Old One to rise from his lair deep beneath R'lyeh and to come at last and eat us all.

For it is written in the Necronomicon that at the proper time:-

"the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth....Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom."
Doesn't that sound like fun?


The thing I really like about Cthulhu is that his message is so simple: you are irrelevant and I will eat you.

There's no "five pillars" or "eight-fold path" to worry about. There's no "Jesus" and his bipolar Dad. If Jesus *does* come back, Cthulhu will eat him, just like he'll eat you.

Cthulhu doesn't care if you are black, white, brown or yellow. He loathes us all equally. But it's deeper than that - our very existence is irrelevant to him.

Cthulhu gives us a very simple choice. We can either worry so much about being rendered limb from limb in an orgy of unspeakable destruction that we go completely insane - or we can just get on with our lives.

It doesn't matter if bad things happen. If someone is nasty to you, just think "What would Cthulhu do"? He'd eat them. Just like he'll eat you.

So what can you do to prepare for Cthulhu's return? It doesn't matter. Whether you run away or line up for orderly disposal, he's going to eat you anyway.

In the meantime, we should live our lives well and responsibly... We're human, not monsters. And remember, never hurt anyone in Cthulhu's name. After all, our very hearts belong to him... Along with our lungs, spleens, livers, brains and kidneys.

Cthulhu is the way. Why choose the lesser evil?

PTET



If you're ready to accept your inevitable doom,
send in your comment or video now. Just say
"I'm ready to be eaten by Cthulhu".

Cthulhu loves the little children,
All the children of the world...
Baked or boiled, steamed or fried,
In the sauce or on the side,
Cthulhu loves the children of the world.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu
R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
