It's a good thing the average Catholic pays as much attention to these jerks as I do.
Actually, in Texas you can be executed because the state called an 'expert' witness who claimed he could 'think like fire.'

It's only been 315 years since someone was executed for blasphemy in the English-speaking world, so yes: 400 more years is excessive.
Well, there is a difference. Most Christians live under secular governments, which tend to prevent Christians from butchering each other the way they used to.

Absent that, no, there would be no difference.

Beats the Season Two uniforms. ACK! I almost forgot: SEASON TWO DID NOT HAPPEN IT'S LIKE GALACTICA 1980

... end transmission

The last time I saw this story, it was called "Event Horizon."

When the baby doll head turned in the foreground, they lost the "found footage" angle. Now it's just 3rd-person omniscient with grainy footage.

But there’s something quite a bit different, something creepy and not a little despicable, about the Planned Parenthood set’s besmirching Komen’s good name across a thousand platforms for having the audacity to stop giving them free money. And I don’t care why that decision was made, frankly.

So, he doesn't want to talk about what the money was actually used for, and he doesn't care why the decision was made. But he's angry. About something. Apparently.

No wonder that idiot is a conservative.

"Band"? No, but there was lo-tech karaoke.
Being Pro choice does mean pro abortion ... cold hard facts of conception ... the morality of the argument must be based on principle ... 'woops got preggers, it's cool I kill it lol' ... principle here is that a life has begun, cells have formed in the way that cells form to create life, and a life has taken shape ...

Semantic "arguments" are fun!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...!!!

Thanks, that's the kind of ill-reasoned, laughable bullshit we were talking about.

You can stop pretending, now.

I'm so sick of zombie movies.
Info dumps are where I stop reading a novel, or maybe even throw the book across the room. I think it's the prime reason why sci fi has such a low reputation, especially in the UK.

It's not just that lots of direct exposition is lazy. In the real world, people disagree about practically everything. Laying out "how it is" provides an unrealistic certainty, which in turn makes the story unbelievable. If you want exposition, have people argue about your backstory (as real people argue about history all the time), or dispute the viability of a technology, or debate the rightness or wrongness of the use of force. Even people who think of themselves as being on the same 'side' of an issue argue all the time (usually about strategy or authenticity), the smaller the detail the more vicious the conflict.

Order in the real world is the product of conflict, not consensus. Conflict should make for good storytelling anyway.

IIRC, some company that works on sweeteners applied for a patent that happens to mention a protein that was originally isolated from fetal stem cells in the 1970's. Translated into the debased dialect of Crackerstan, that means we're all eating fetuses. Or something.
He'll follow the GOP's male-menopause base right down into a puddle of their own drool.
Brian, Brian, Brian. You need a break, OK? It's hump day. Give someone your keys, walk to the nearest bar, set aside enough for cab fare in your shoe, and start with three very dry vodkatinis. Skip dinner and go straight on to "what the hell happened?"

I write this out of love. You can curse me in the morning, but your readers will thank us both.

Tarot cards, anyone? Shall we say Texas Hold 'Em, with the small wager of your soul?
Well, that's pretty obvious. What surprises me is that Sullivan thinks it's "pandering" for a govt. to address the needs of its people, that "the deficit" is the most important thing (which can ONLY be addressed by further service cuts), or that all we really need are more free markets.

It's as if Sullivan just woke up and thought it was 1982 all over again.

Poor Sullivan. I wonder if he ever gets tired of being wrong?

For a speech that supposedly lacked this and that, according to Sully, it sure moved the needle on those very issues with an actual, you know, American audience.

Perhaps there's a language barrier involved?

I see the simple mind has found his simple answer.

Everyone wins!
