No Tiger in ATT's Tank

ATT has become the latest big company to end its sponsorship of Tiger Woods.

On the bright side, Woods' agents are in negotiations with Trojans Condoms.

Why I Don't Love Jesus

I was recently asked if I love Jesus, and I had to say "Absolutely not."

After all, Jesus is a man. If I loved him, wouldn't that make me gay? And aren't conservative Christians always preaching that gays will go to hell? No way I'm falling into that trap. I wasn't reborn yesterday, you know.

The Tiger Woods Anthem

Tiger Woods' reputation has been taking a real beating lately, so it's nice to see that someone took the time to prepare a musical tribute to the man.

And a Merry Effing Christmas to You, too

By the way, this song is NOT suitable for underage ears or bosses within earshot of your cubicle.

The First Thanksgiving

Some of you from distant lands such as Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the country of South America may not be familiar with this uniquely American holiday (granted, Canadians celebrate it as well, but we in the United States tend to ignore our northern neighbors except when it comes to the Stanley Cup standings) so here is a brief history of its origins:

Back in 1620, a group of Puritans (also known as pilgrims) had grown weary of the constant persecution and ridicule they were forced to endure in Europe. This was understandable, since they tended to dress funny.

Hoping to find a place where they would be free to practice their faith more openly and persecute someone else for a change, like witches, a group of them set sail on the Mayflower. The Mayflower was the largest moving van of its day, and considered a technological marvel for its ability to keep the poor Pilgrims from coming in contact with the rich ones. Their destination was the distant land of North America, which had recently been discovered by Christopher Columbus (Well, actually, it had been discovered by a guy named Leif Ericson, but he was Norwegian, and therefore didn't really count). Columbus had actually been looking for a new trade route to China, misread his GPS readings, and became hopelessly lost. Being a man, he refused to stop for directions. In recognition of his blithering incompetence, Columbus was given a Federal holiday.

But I digress.

Before the travelers could make it to the safety of Ellis Island, their moving van struck an iceberg and sank. This unexpected turn of events rudely interrupted the torrid but mostly chaste (at least until they ended up in the backseat of a Model T) shipboard romance of Jack Dawson and Pochohantas. Faced with a scarcity of lifeboats, many of the men nobly dressed up as women and children to procure a seat to safety.

The survivors eventually came ashore at Plymouth Rock, called such because a car dealership in Boston had purchased the naming rights. There they were befriended by native Americans, also known as Indians since they spoke with funny accents and were willing to work as computer programmers for incredibly low wages. Without their help, the pilgrims would never have gotten a sensible inventory control program up and running, and would have surely starved to death during the coming winter.

The following year yielded healthy crops and a bountiful harvest. That fall, the pilgrims invited their new Indian friends (who weren't actually from India) to share a feast of giving thanks to the good lord. And to further show their gratitude, the settlers gave the natives blankets, muskets, smallpox, and syphilis.

In return, the Indians introduced the newcomers to corn, tobacco, lung cancer, and scalping, especially when it comes to Springsteen tickets. They also built gambling casinos to take their money. Meanwhile, the Indians also fiercely debated whether the recent immigrants were destroying American culture.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of the first American Thanksgiving.

Do as I Say, Not as I Do

Nothing is worse than when hypocrisy rears its ugly head and bites you in the ass. Case in point: Republicans in Congress fought tooth and nail to prevent abortion coverage from being included in the insurance reform package that recently passed in the House.

Now it turns out that Republican National Committee employees have had abortion coverage in their OWN insurance coverage since 1991. Now that it became public knowledge, they are dropping it from their own group policy.

If Ignorance is Bliss,Teabaggers Must Be in Heaven

There was some excitement at the National Zoo earlier today when a deer inadvertently jumped into the lions' enclosure. Although the deer was eventually rescued by zoo employees, its injuries were deemed too severe and had to put down.

With Apologies to 'Fred Friggin' Flinstone'

I'm not ashamed to admit that I identify with the Führer.

Time for a Reality Check

Seriously: WTF is wrong with these people? What kind of mentality equates health care reform with the Holocaust? Every other industrialized nation in the world has managed to come up with some system for universal health care, and the last time I looked, none of them are marching Jews off to the gas chambers.

When I see things like this, it makes me ashamed that I ever considered myself a conservative, or that I ever voted for a Republican.

And does the moron on the left realize that his sign is upside down, or is he just illiterate?

Amen
