Ok, now it's time for a fucking riot.

"If in the future you are reinstated as a member of the church in good standing, you are invited to contact my office regarding your possible eligibility for the awarding of a degree," Finlinson wrote.

I also appreciate the line from the Church official in Las Vegas saying the main reason for Hardy's excommunication was "failure to pay tithing." I generally take an ignore and move on attitude toward the dumber actions of the church, but some one really needs to lose their job and then be dragged from their home and beaten for this.

I don't know who Peggy Noonan is but I know she's a hypocrite.

This is an article in the Wall Street Journal by Peggy Noonan, in which she praises Sara Palin.

A Clear and Present Danger To the American Left

A few xhoice quotes:

[Palin] is a feminist not in the Yale Gender Studies sense but the How Do I Reload This Thang way, because she is a woman who in style, history, moxie and femininity is exactly like a normal American feminist and not an Abstract Theory feminist; because she wears makeup and heels and eats mooseburgers and is Alaska Tough, as Time magazine put it; because she is conservative, and pro-2nd Amendment and pro-life; and because conservatives can smell this sort of thing -- who is really one of them and who is not

She could become a transformative political presence

This is a video of Peggy Noonan not realizing her mic was still on:


A few choice quotes:

It's over.

The most qualified? No.

I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives.

What was the price of your soul Peggy Noonan?

I Hate Newspaper Editors

Headline on UK Times Online:

Kremlin announces that South Ossetia will join 'one united Russian state'

Second paragraph of that artivle:

Tarzan Kokoity, [South Ossetia]’s Deputy Speaker of parliament, announced that South Ossetia would be absorbed into Russia soon so that its people could live in “one united Russian state” with their ethnic kin in North Ossetia.

It seems to me like the headline misrepresents the basic facts of the article.

Watch it. I command you.

Links to those webcomics I was talking about

RPG themed:
Irregular Webcomic!
The granddaddy of them all, updates everyday for more than 2,000 days.

{Scene: A dimly lit street in the a starport town.}
Serron: "We get these original organs implanted into ourselves, as spares, hidden behind the stomach or something. Then when we come back from the future to save our past selves, only the replacement organs from our future selves get extracted, and we survive with these ones!"
Iki Piki: "That... almost works. Except it means the organs inside us right now are always in the time loop, and must be infinitely old..."
Serron: "Don't be ridiculous. This is the first time this has happened to us!"

Darths & Droids
Done by the same person as Irregular Webcomic!, using frames from Star Wars instead of home made pictures.

Qui-Gon: Let's see. Electro-axe. Energy mace. "Plasma bow"?? You just took a D&D equipment list and stuck techy words in front, right?
GM: Don't be stupid.
Qui-Gon: Ten foot laser pole...

Later scene

Qui-Gon: All right! So who do we kill?
GM: You're first level. You're just here to negotiate.
Qui-Gon: I can't negotiate with a sword! I need a blaster!

General Humor:
Questionable Content
Like a sitcom but with interesting characters and good writing.

Wondermark: An Illustrated Jocularity
Victorian Art, a Far Side morality, an absurdist and vicious wit.

SIGN:
HOUSE SPECIAL /
Customer's entrails are torn from their body and fed to them in a broth of vomit. / BANNER: AUTHENTIC GAXIAN CUISINE! /

MALE GAXIAN: "OPEN A RESTAURANT, she said. PEOPLE LOVE REGIONAL FOOD, she said!"

Our charcters met when he walked in on me doing his mom.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!

Yes it is, it's in my character bio.

That's not a character bio it's a post it note that says "I did your mom."

It just gets better from there.
