  1. BBC News – Obama asks Elizabeth Warren to set up consumer agency<\/a> – Since when is a regulatory agency’s first job to “unite diverse interests” and “bring people together”?<\/li>\n
  2. Quote Of The Day – Floyd Brown<\/a> – Yeeeeeeesh …<\/li>\n
  3. Montana GOP Wants To Make Homosexuality Illegal<\/a> – Just a reminder of the sentiments still lurking around out there. Especially in the GOP. Lambaste, excoriate, and bitch-slap the Dems all you want, they’re STILL a hell of a lot better than these yahoos.<\/li>\n
  4. New Christian movie about Christmas shows how evil us atheists really are.<\/a> – I am wryly amused by use of the name “Bright” in conjunction with the Evil ATHEIST Bad Guy (who lacks only mustachios to twirl to demonstrate his Evilness). I also love that there are, are Ulterior Motives that the Evil ATHEIST Bad Guy has … because, of course, we know that rabid ATHEISM and FIRST AMENDMENT KVETCHING is all about actually being angry at God and wanting to strike back at Him (and\/or, are scared of God and want to drive Him away). For what it’s worth, this movie does not represent my idea of Christmas, or America, or atheism, or anything else of the sort.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
