Good luck, Charles- hope it goes smoothly for you and Stinky.

Stinky doesn't have to live in the garage any more?

Man, the threads are flying today! I barely got to think about the chinless Syrian A-hole and post one about the freed Captain before this one popped up!

Secret location? With Dick Cheney?

hmmm...

Remember, lift with the legs, Charles. Not with the back.

Happy Easter, the Captain is free and 3 pirates are now sleeping with the fishes...

Man is Charles on acid today? So many posts os quickly///

Hope you enjoy your new digs Lizard Boss.

Well- in an urge only Reine would understand, I'm going to watch Monster's Inc.

Happy Easter, everyone.

Moving to the hanger were they used make them F-22s. I hear it's empty?

There's big money behind the anti-evolution people. There are three posts on the front page that mention evolution or creationism, and our Google context-driven ads are suddenly serving up glossy, expensive advertisements for ludicrous anti-evolution books and websites, completely with stupid pictures of chimpanzees.

So far I haven't seen a single pro-evolution ad. The money is all coming from the fanatics.

And I don't mind at all if they want to give me their money, for relentlessly criticizing them.

To him that you tell your secret you resign your liberty.

Great news about Captain Phillips!

Good luck with the move. I love getting into a new place, but the moving part is so awful I just want to sell everything I own and walk away.

Happy Easter!

I posted this in spin-offs : AYN RAND's message to the GOP CANDIDATES

re: #17 Charles

Yes, The Good News magazine pops up. On their Evolution (front) page, they have this quote:

"What strange rationale makes some physicists accept the inconceivable electron as real while refusing to accept the reality of a Designer on the ground that they cannot conceive of Him?" (quoted by Scott Huse, The Collapse of Evolution, 1997, pp. 159-160).

I did the oil drop experiment that most physics majors do in first year lab... at the time I had no idea I was measuring the "inconceivable"... silly me.

Now we know what Charles is doing with his bailout money.

I was wondering why we had some rather odd ads.

re: #40 Jimmah

Interesting. I've been meaning to reread Atlas Shrugs. I was never an Ayn Rand fan since I read her in highschool. She seemed paranoid and a little creepy to me. I wonder how I will feel about her today. I do suspect that her influence on modern conservatives instincts has not been a good one.

re: #48 Charles

I just put AdSense on Cold Raptor and they did seem rather emphatic about that. Makes sense to me and I'm pretty sure that it helps keep down on the sites that sound like their panhandling.

The Good News is published by the United Church of Christ denomination.

On their Evolution web pages, specifically under The Societal Consequences of Darwinism, we find:

Later Adolf Hitler indeed applied the Darwinian concept of the "survival of the fittest" to the human race. During World War II the Nazis forcibly sterilized more than 2 million people and began systematically exterminating people whom Hitler considered to be inferior. The Nazis justified their atrocities by rationalizing that they were doing mankind a service with "genetic cleansing" to improve the races.

As long as evolution—with its implications of amorality and the survival-of-the-fittest mentality among "superior" and "inferior" races —is accepted and believed, genocide, as sporadic ethnic cleansings in various parts of the globe show, will have a scientific justification, even though most believers in Darwinian theory would object to this conclusion.

Hmmm. It's worse that I thought.

The FDIC has created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Greeley (DINB), Greeley, CO to facilitate the resolution of New Frontier Bank, Greeley, CO.

It's the first time since 1982 that the FDIC had to create a temporary bank. I think it means no other bank wanted to take over NFB's operations.

I love listening to her too. There's a 5 part (or so) series on youtube of an interview she does with Donahue way back when that is worth taking the time to view. She embodies the archetypal American woman of days gone by ...we need more like her instead of the Hillarys and Michelles of todays world.

I thought that denomination sounded familiar. Indeed, it is the collection of the followers of Herbert Armstrong. There are several similarly sounding named denominations that sprung from Armstrong's original organization.

Some information from Google Adsense (which LGF uses, no? Someone correct me.)

As many of you know, our program policies prohibit any means of encouraging users to click on Google ads or bringing excessive attention to ad units. For example, sites may not contain phrases such as "click the ads," "support our sponsors," "visit these recommended links," or other similar language that could apply to the Google ads on your site. In addition, publishers are not permitted to label the Google ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements."

However, as the comments by us mere viewers are not necessarily the opinions of the blog owner...

I was about to ask, whassup with the anti-evolution banner ads?

I knew there was a reason I did not sign up for adsense on my website (the Jewish history site, Lizards, not the Vicious Babushka)

I'm not sure "business ashore" is a wonderful plan. The country doesn't have a cohesive government, and at best you're talking about groups more loosely knit than even Al-Queda cells.
If you think a case can be made regarding "Iraq distracting us from the real war on terror", this is even worse. It's also less connected.

euphamism for dealing with the pirate issue...whatever it takes

From now on, though, the “negotiations” should be us telling the pirates and their envoys that if they surrender, we’ll let them live. If not, no quarter. That should be our first and last offer. If we keep dancing around with Somali “elders” and treat pirates like bank robbers, we’re going to be doing a lot more of these negotiations in the future.

I reloaded the page, and got a page with a price range that is closer to what I pay for shoes.

When Phillips' crew heard the news aboard their ship in the port of Mombasa, they placed an American flag over the rail of the top of the Maersk Alabama and whistled and pumped their fists in the air. Crew fired a bright red flare into the sky from the ship.

The courage that Captain Phillips possesses is something wholly unknown to Barack Obama, courage that he is completely unqualified to even speak about.

Oh great, we catch a break that the Pirates are stupid & let the Captain jump in the water again. The Navy did great , but that could not have been the plan.
Obama should be talking to other nations about cooperatrion, not just making a public wish & military operations should already be underway on their land bases.

I found it impossible to become an atheist (attacks in the sense I got "doomed" by members of several other religions at the time ...)
I stuck with "agnostic" for a long (long) time.
I am no longer agnostic, but:
I am of the opinion that a belief and being comfortable with those beliefs is enough.

This lashing out at the faithful is at the core of Atheism, which is so bereft of legitimate criticism of religion in general that these days they spend most of their time ripping off LaVeyian Satanism.

One of the nuttier ideas from your advertisers (ahem...), as found in the college publication, under an entry entitled Answers from Genesis - Part 1:

Scriptures indicate that we share some of the same characteristics of God our Father, only in a more limited way. Some of our similarities include our general shape, having dominion (rulership) over the earth, and the ability to think and communicate on far higher levels than animals.

It should be noted that mainline Christian groups consider Armstrongism to be an aberration.

Fleecing the Tea Party flock...
Tea Party Protests Create Online Sales Boom

Online retailers are recording hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales of mugs and sweats, buttons and bumper stickers, with much of the proceeds going toward organizing the tax-day tea parties, takeoffs on the original 1773 protest of British taxes.
...
Custom online retailer Zazzle said tea party products have been flying off its presses at an "obscene" rate, propelling them into the top sphere of items it sells online.
...
Eric Odom,( A Paulian - ed) who administers the Tax Day Tea Party Web site and is helping organize and fund multiple events, said they were "ecstatic" with the results they're seeing at their online store, which has recorded $48,000 in sales.

"We try to fuel that money right back into costs involved in the Tea Party effort," Odom said, which includes renting and reserving space, making signs and covering transportation costs.
...

Here's the best one...

Yet some organizers are seeing costs outweigh their profits -- and are choosing to operate at a loss.

Taylor is partnering with the Augusta, Ga.-based Reagan.org to send tens of thousands of tea bags north to Washington for a massive tax day tea dump. Though Reagan.org is asking for about $1 per bag, they estimate they'll end up losing money in the transaction.

"What we figure is that we'll probably end up losing a little bit of money on it," said Joshua Bolin, executive director of Reagan.org, who told FOXNews.com that his organization accepted requests to send 30,000 tea bags packing in just the first two days of its promotion.

I can buy a box of 100 tea bags at my local Asian market for about $4. He sold about $120 worth of tea for $30,000 in two days! I checked his site (no link) you are paying $1 to have a tea bag sent on your behalf. All these bags could easily fit in a few suitcases ot the trunk of a car. Probably wouldn't weigh much more than 30 pounds. Shipping for the whole lot would be about $30-40.
