“Out of all the things that you could draw on from your religion to bring comfort...”
– JON STEWART, on The Daily Show, responding to Pat Robertson’s asshat claims that the earthquake in Haiti was caused because Haitians had made a deal with the Devil. (via inothernews)
Trying to make sense of it
inothernews:bowlingalleylawyer:randyhaddock:
Start counting to 50,000, out loud. And as you’re counting, be fully aware that each number is a precious life lost in the Haiti earthquake. Someone’s mom, someone’s dad, someone’s grandpa, someone’s grandma, someone’s sister, someone’s brother, someone’s uncle, someone’s aunt, someone’s daughter, someone’s son, someone’s friend. You’ll be counting...

Shit, Wendy, why you gotta do a thing? He didn’t claim that anyone was going to force the Catholic Church to do anything and he’s obviously intelligent enough to understand the distinction between Catholics and Christians. He also clearly stated that all people of all sexualities should be treated with charity, which is a hell of a lot more than you’re giving him....

I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, and if the federal government chooses to allow gay marriage, then I hope it will respect the Christian tradition of the Catholic Church’s Sacrament of Matrimony and understand that we are not discriminating.
As for “condition,” the previous two teachings in the Catechism state that...

if you would not mind fw, might i ask what exactly is your stance on same-sex marriage? i’m not quite sure if your statement made your stance clear, and i’m not exactly sure what you meant by ‘condition’.

Early Modern Political Thought
Palmer is wearing The Best Suit Ever today, black-with-white-pinstripes with a white-with-black-pinstripes bowtie.
The Machiavellian revolution in thought is the most important revolution in thought in Western history with the possible exception of Socrates, who founded political philosophy. He begins the modern era of political thought with these things.
The Hebrew bible says that man is born...

My worst days are when I forget to shampoo or put on mascara and there are people around who cause insecure feelings. My alright days are when I take the time to primp all the way and get compliments. “You look pretty today” actually means “You remembered to put on make-up today! Good for you.” How do I know that? I only get compliments on the days I wear the make-up. My...

“They received high grades and a lot of praise from their professors, and they...”
– Thomas H. Benton on the motivation for graduate students in the humanities.
My problem is almost the exact opposite of this one. I do not like being in school or being graded. I want to start working, but I feel like I’ll be better off with a graduate degree.

Dear FutureMe,
I am a little bit tired and weary. I am weary for lack of sleep and weary for loneliness. I am trying to concentrate on using my vivid imagination towards achieving my goals, and it’s hard work, harder than imagining that I am a pretty pretty princess and my butch knight is on the way with a golden horse to carry me off into the wilds of ancient, pagan Europe forever.

Or, So That’s Why I Wet the Bed
I’m chilling out in the Donald P. Corbett (DPC) building until my next class starts. They house the Business School here and you can totally tell because they have one of those electronic stock market tickers running over the snack shack and a television tuned to CNBC so I can track my, you know, investments.
Anyway, this adorable little doctorate...

What To Do If You Do Not Want To Be Edie's Friend

Show too many teeth when you smile.
Surround your eyes with eyeliner to make your irises look tiny and your whites expansive.
Seriously, you’re setting off my prey instinct. Cut it out.
Make fun of me when I use the word “dude.”
Or “totes.”
Or when I watch “The Dog Whisperer.”
Ask me if I washed my hair today.
Give me decaffeinated coffee.
As in...
Today Is A Good Day
Because I said so.
I have a date with a dude tonight and a lady on Friday. I have a double-shot latte. I am still an American with a high school degree. My antidepressants are working. I only have two classes today. AND the weather outside is decidedly awesome: Cold enough that I feel awesome but not cold enough to dry out the skin under my jeans.
