SO COOL

high five!



So Sarah Palin has now committed to print her creationist beliefs, and if there's one thing I find exquisitely embarrassing about American culture, it's people like her and their willful ignorance of basic science. How is it that I, a lowly SAHM, know more than a former governor and vp candidate about what evolution is (and just as importantly, what it isn't)? Hey, next let's all deny the germ theory of disease. It's really demons who create and distribute a new strain of influenza every goddamn year.

Bah. I'm not even going to waste any more words on this dolt.

Last night we watched one of the best documentaries I've seen in a long time, and it was about...water. It's something we don't give much thought to in this country, except for occasional restrictions on watering your lawn or crap like that. But it's actually an issue that demands immediate and careful attention from all of us. The challenges are complex and global. And the great thing about this documentary is that it's not preachy or treehuggery, simply informative and realistic. There are images and facts that are truly disturbing (it begins with a nightmarish description of what thirst does to the human body), but it ends with a sense that we can do something to improve the situation. We're all human beings and we all need water.

I can't recommend this one enough. Check out the website for Blue Gold: World Water Wars, and please, rent the dvd!

morals and ethics and carnal forbearance

(if you get that, a virtual smooch for you)

Yes indeed, Carrie Prejean is now claiming that there is no biblical restriction against getting a boob job. You know what - technically, she's right. It does say no tattoos, but I guess technically we can let tit jobs slide. Know what else is not in the Bible? A round fucking planet. Gene therapy. Nanotechnology. Stem cells. Black holes. Plate tectonics. A crapload of other sciencey stuff.

Know what's hunky dory in the Bible? Slavery. Genocide. Bludgeoning babies to death on rocks. Bears mauling kids for being bratty. A host of other nonsensical & immoral crud.

But hey! You really got us with your wacky biblical loophole, Carrie! Those Bronze Age authors didn't have the foresight to make a commandment against you getting bags of saline implanted into your scrawny chest. Such a scholar you are!

Next, please honor us with your biblical commentary on oh, say, in vitro fertilization?

Gee, it's enough to make a heathen feel sorry for Christians when the likes of this nimrod speak publicly.

It seems like Sarah Palin, Carrie Prejean, et al are here to stay unless they're caught on camera doing a postpartum abortion on a dozen toddlers or some shit. Get comfy, because I think we're in for years of the new conservative woman wisdom, which will leave much of the country doing this-

SO COOL. This Tomb Raider one in particular brought back so many great memories. I was really enthralled with this game back in the day.



I think my hubby will like the Megaman ones.
