Well, I’m drinking a “beer” called Steel Reserve right now. It tastes like chemicals, but it’s also got 8.1% alcohol content- ergo, I’m buzzed after two. Has anyone drank this shit before?
Oh, and TOUCHDOWN PATRIOTS!!! EAT IT, YOSEF!!! (Btw, Yosef, are you a Panthers fan? Cuz Sports Illustrated picked them to win it all this year- that’s the freaking kiss-o-death.)

What Hurricane Katrina exposed was the psychological consequences of the welfare state. […]
People living in piles of their own trash, while petulantly complaining that other people aren’t doing enough to take care of them and then shooting at those who come to rescue them?this is not just a description of the chaos at the Superdome. It is a perfect summary of the 40-year history of the welfare state and its public housing projects.
The welfare state?and the brutish, uncivilized mentality it sustains and encourages?is the man-made disaster that explains the moral ugliness that has swamped New Orleans. And that is the story that no one is reporting.
Thank God for wingnuts, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to read about the real story. Like how the welfare state levees weren’t able to handle a Category 4 hurricane.

Yes, this is the most artful parody of a fundy Christian site ever known.
Every new page you click on, it gets better. What geniuses are responsible for this?
He’s a Swanky kinda guy. The kind you don’t bring home to mother (mostly because he’s liable to wig out and rant about demonic possession and homo nups for four straight hours). Yes, he’s Pastor Joseph Grant Swank. Let’s review his latest series of columns.
Column #1: “REPLACE REHNQUIST WITH WOMB BABY DEFENDER”
Moloch was one of the chief idols of the pagans. To Moloch women brought their newly born children, offering them on the idol?s open hands. Beneath those hands was fire bursting forth to consume the child. That was evil. God pronounced it as evil. God informed His own never to entertain such wickedness. Yet today in America that is daily practice for those who consider the unborn child merely a “fetus.”
Ah yes, the ever-controversial medical procedure known as the “partial-pagan sacrifice” abortion. When will these non-morality-based females realize that setting womb babies aglow is a major Biblical no-no?

Not that the world is standing still here or anything, but we’ve been seeing this factoid again about how George Bush, Sr., was the Navy’s youngest fighter pilot in WWII — or simply America’s ‘youngest fighter pilot.’
The Grumman TBM Avenger
‘Youngest,’ we don’t know about, but he was never a fighter pilot at all. The Avenger was a slow, heavy three-man torpedo bomber. And not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s like he was assigned to drive a minivan, and then later it’s all like, “George Bush, the sports car racer.”
Just saying. If he were a fighter pilot, he probably would have been flying the F6F, as everyone knows — although the F4U was, of course, possible as well. But if you look at the fighters assigned to the Ticonderoga-class carriers in 1943-’44, you find…
OW! Hey!

Man: Is this the right room for an argument?
Mr Vibrating: I’ve told you once.
Man: No you haven’t.
Mr Vibrating: Yes I have.
Man: When?
Mr Vibrating: Just now!
Man: No you didn’t.
Mr Vibrating: Yes I did!
Man: Didn’t.
Mr Vibrating: Did.
Man: Didn’t.

WorldNetDaily’s been on a freaking roll lately. Honestly, this might be one of the greatest headlines they’ve ever written:
‘Pure nastiness’: Teacher too sexy for God?
Really. That’s the headline. I shit you not. Now let’s read the rest of the story:
The headline in Italy’s leading newspaper, Corriere della Sera, blares: “Teacher in mini-skirt fired by diocese.”
Caterina Bonci, a 38-year-old religion instructor described as a “leggy, long-haired blonde,” has caused a major sensation, getting axed by the Catholic Church from her position in state-run schools.
See, this is why I like having separation of church and state. Every adolescent boy should have a hot teacher to dote on- it’s like a freaking rite of passage. But now these crusty old Italian priests, who are probably jealous that Ms. Bonci is cutting in on their young boy action, say that having a hot teacher is against “God’s will.” Hey if God didn’t want hot teachers, He wouldn’t have made hot teachers, OK? Let things fall where they may.

Sometimes as the evening wanes and the gleeful top fizzes off the third beer, a man gives himself to thought.
One of tonight’s thoughts was toward the Mighty Reason Man, whose Very Very Happy was last updated on November 2nd, the day of the Presidential election, and since that day has been a captainless ghost ship — the purest known example of “Gah! Fuck! I quit!” at the re?lection of George Bush. (Hesiod of the once-prominent Counterspin had, awhile before, been nagged out of blogging by an uncongenial spouse or other such creature, also erasing his archives — helping make room for Atrios to scale the heights he’s since scaled. It’s hard to believe that this was twenty years ago already uh, 2004. Wait, that seems crazy.)
Wow.
The Mighty Reason Man
Here’s a greatest hit from that noble journal, once so familiar.

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers
Bush-blaming derangement.[…]
They were onto something. Because, you see, I hadn?t even raised the possibility that, after just three or four days without food, blacks in New Orleans would transform into Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers.On September 2, Randall Robinson, former president of Transafrica wrote that ?It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive.?
