An Eye Isn't Just An Eye

When creationists argue that a complex eye couldn't have just evolved, scientists ask, "Which eye?"

This review of squid eye evolution drives the point home; our eyes are not physically or biochemically similar, yet they are functionally so. It's a great read. Creationists only excuse this data, rather than explaining how Mr. Jesus chose to be so non-redundantly redundantly stupid.

The Terminator Can't Terminate Equality

California's judicial system has ruled for gay marriage.

Expect the rapacious religious conservatives to use this ruling to argue for a constitutional anti-gay marriage amendment. Notice how they will say they're trying to protect marriage whilst refusing to add any language preventing heterosexual couples from marrying or divorcing at whim. Their slip will show...

Such efforts should only illustrate how Republicans aren't really for a republic. Not that such hypocrisy matters to their base. But their base is, increasingly, less interested in the "debase" homos and more interested in their job security.

I really don't think the swing states care about the gays anymore. After all, they have their jobs to consider, and their kids are--on the whole--scrambling to be accepted by their gay friends (thanks to MTV).

Still, I would prefer a popular ruling over a judicial one. Here's hoping that happens, and soon.

Trixie Ain't No Cylon

Sadly dead Deadwood's Paula Malcomson has been cast in a lead role for BSG: Caprica.

She is such a great actress, so I'm pleased. Let's face it, that cock-sucking whore cunt ran Deadwood.

Yes, I actually found this at Books-A-Hundred...

... However, it was a discarded Palm Beach County Library book, & only cost me 3 bucks.

Horror Movie Review

Inside:

Viscerally: unnerving, almost unwatchable
Psychologically: unhinged
Directionally : unrepentant and innovative

Gave us all the Conway Twitties! The best horror movie since 28 Days Later. One of the top 5 horror movies ever, without doubt.

Cross-posted

Ed. Note (5-15-08): I re-watched it in French with English subtitles. And as you might expect, the English dubbing is vastly inferior. I now rank it as my second favorite horror movie ever.

Oh Dear...

It's So Pretty!

More pictures of the colossal squid necropsy here.

On The Topic Of Lists

I ran across this one twice: Ten Bizarre Ethnically-Challenged Casting Choices.

But what about ultra-Catholic, all-American Jim Caveizel as Jewy McJesus in that unwatchable Passion movie?

Stamping out ignorance and grinding down intolerance

That's pretty much my job, but for you, my close ones, I've found a few links:
- Times Online Top 100 films - There will be blood is #2!?!
- The Screening Room's top ten songs in movies -it's hard not to like a list that includes Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs, and the Layla montage in Goodfellas, Dr. Strangelove and Trainspotting.
- PJ O'Rourke is still out there.
- Ten Insulting Words You Should Know

Today's Worst Person In The World!

Yes, Ben Stein did say that science leads to killing people...on TBN! What a douche nozzle.

It's A Comic All Right

This new Chick tract is so bad it's hilarious!


Ok, all Chick tracts can all be described as such. But this one takes the taco.


Hooray for superstitious dumdums! Magic Jesus rules!

Religion is not just stupid, it's child abuse.

My Admiration For These Three Has Now Soared Higher

Mayor DumDum Update!

The SEC has just charged Mayor DumDum in connection with a municipal bond scheme! What power prayer has! Oh, it hurts to laugh now! Jesus, these people are a whoot!

DAGGER ON THE THROAT OF WORLD SHIPPING!

Sanya base on the tip of Hainan Island will soon be the major nuclear stike point of the Chinese Communists. Look out Spratlys and Taiwan!

Birmingham Got What They Voted For

Birmingham's ridiculous mayor, Larry Langford, was elected last year over a competent, honest candidate. Langford is known for building "Visionland," a Christian theme park that shortly went bankrupt, and for wanting Birmingham to have a domed stadium that no one wants or needs. Everyone knew his election meant several years of crass foolishness; most just hoped it would be contained locally. Nope.

Mayor Langford, in response to a sharp rise in crime, ordered a sackcloth and ashes day of prayer. As if that superstitious non-response to a very real problem were not enough, check out the actual proclamation. The man's not just fiberboard stupid, he's fucking illiterate.

...fourth violent city per capital...

Congratulations to Birmingham's Mayor DumDum!

If this doesn't work, are sacrifices next? Propitiation!
