The first PC I built for my parents is probably close to 10 years old at this point and yet my mother still uses it. That’s because the newer PC I built for my parents more recently is usually occupied by my dad and rather than wait for him to get off it she just . . . → Read More: Momma’s new toy arrives.

A lot of Republicans have gone off the deep end into crazy land.

Considering how much the Republicans bitch about too much sex permeating popular culture these days you’d think they’d keep something like Tea Bagging in their bedrooms, but lately they’ve been doing it quite a bit in public much to my amusement. Naturally this is a case of the Republicans meaning one thing and everyone else . . . → Read More: A lot of Republicans have gone off the deep end into crazy land.

Stupid Christian video clip of the day.

Look! it’s the Without-God-Us-Christians-Would-All-Shoot-You-In-The-Face argument from the whackjobs at Answers in Genesis:

Though, given the news item I linked to earlier in the day, it seems some of them will shoot you even if God does exist.

We bought a new(er) car today.

We’ve been a one car family for awhile and the old 2000 Grand Prix is starting to show its age.

A Christian asks; “I’m the bad guy? How did that happen?”

Near the final scene of the 1993 Joel Schumacher film, Falling Down, Robert Duvall has cornered Michael Douglas, who plays a laid-off defense-contracting engineer who has gone on a murderous rampage.  Douglas looks at Duvall and asks incredulously, “I’m the bad guy?  How did that happen?”  And he really doesn’t know.
