Just so there's no confusion,

I'm not against Christianity, or spirituality, or the main message of the Bible, BUT, I am totally convinced you can't take the entire Bible literally, 100% of the time, as many people do. There are MANY passages I could quote, as in God sending bears to eat 42 lads who made fun of a bald guy, Elisha, in 2 Kings 2:23-25, or you should be killed for mixing crops in your field, or fabric in your clothes, (Leviticus 19:19), BUT, if I had to choose ONE, as in, 'you gotta be kidding me', it would have to be the story about God stopping the sun, so the Jews could kill more people, in Joshua 10:12

12Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "O sun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon in the valley of Aijalon." 13So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

Really? This made a good myth in the pre-science days when the church taught that the earth was the center of the universe (and they killed the heretics who disagreed), but now we know differently. For the sun to 'stop', the earth would have to stop rotating, and, if you anything about 'momentum', can you imagine the damage caused as the oceans sloshed over the land, among MANY other problems? Like several stories in the Bible, (written by fallible MEN, not the hand of God), it just didn't happen, and it's hard for me to imagine anyone believing it ACTUALLY did, but, FOX found their perfect audience, when they realized they could tap into the 'true believers'. If you LITERALLY believe the entire Bible, then FOX versions of reality don't seem so strange, cuz you're pretty easy to fool. FOXNews 'keeps the sheep riled', with their stories about that damn Muslim Obama, vs the righteous Chrisitans. Nothing new here, as the largest voting block in the country, gets herded by Murdoch/Ailes, and the clowns at FOXNews. Best return on political dollars, EVER, cuz once you believe FOX is real news, story over.....

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
