Somebody really should say Something so that the public know that there is something which Something must be done about, in order that we can then look good by passing this Something Must Be Done bill in order to correct Something which wasn’t a problem until we pointed out that Something must be done about it.

"… that, according to unnamed sources, a small group of backbench Tory MPs are considering making an official complaint about political bias in the royal family, citing Her Royal Highness's apparent decision to go into Labour.
"And now we go live, to James Windsor-Arselich, standing outside The Palace for no apparent reason, for some breaking news."
"… Well you could've told me before, that it was undone! Shit, no time! Just film me from the waist up, fer Chrissakes!
"Thank you Quentin.

I've had it described to me, over and again;
What will happen to me when I go to Hell.
But the ink's always gone from the descriptive pen
When I ask what happens if all goes well.

Last week we looked at Animalia, so it only seems fair to give Plantae a turn in the limelight. This week's Friday Night Is Music Night is on the theme, if you hadn't already guessed, of plants.

Inter-Faith Circle-Jerks: A Week In The Life Of Religion
Posted in General, tagged atheism, inter-faith, morals, religion on Thursday, July 25, 2013| 4 Comments »
Sunday: Without any evidence to support your contention, make sure that millions of people are brought up to believe, without question, that there is an invisible being who will torture them for eternity if they don't worship it your way.
Monday: Notice that other people worship other invisible beings, with just as little evidence, or that they worship the same invisible being that you do, but in a way which you proclaim to be wrong, and therefore is putting millions of people in danger of eternal torture.
May every shaman, every priest, who's sent our young to die
Before their time, in foreign fields, be branded with his lies.
Let falsities shout plain and clear, in scars upon their skin
So all may know the blackened, shrivelled heart which lies within.

This week's Friday Night Is Music Night is on the theme of the animal kingdom, excluding human beings 'cause we were created separately in the creation-myth of your choice 'cause it would be too easy if we didn't exclude 'em.

Britain’s New Boom Industry: A Repost

Reposting this in celebration. My country just became a slightly nicer place to live.
In business news today, it has been revealed that sales of handcuffs and other restraining devices have rocketed, as heterosexual couples across the UK prepare for the impending legalisation of same-sex marriage.
Taking to heart the non-stop blathering warnings from the various Christian churches that traditional marriage, as defined by them, will be undermined by same-sex couples getting married, thousands of British married couples are cuffing themselves together in the hopes that this will prevent one or both partners from acting on a sudden desire to run away with a person of the same sex.
Morality Versus Obedience

The weather, Gentle Reader, is—to coin a highly technical meteorological term—friggin' hot. My computer is near the window which gets more sun than any other window in the house (mandated by availability of electrical and phone sockets), in what is not coincidentally the hottest room in the house. It doesn't make it easy to write anything, I'm afraid, so here's a fun clip of an old Atheist Experience episode in lieu of proper content.

A screenshot from the blog's spam-trap. Click the pic to enbiggen.
I'm guessing with scintillating conversation like this, Christians don't have much of a second-date success rate…
Or maybe this is as much sense as we all make, if only we knew it, after one too many voddie 'n' cokes! A warning there, not to overdo the Dutch courage on the first date.

[Please note that this post is tagged humour (that's like "humor," for you colonial types, but speled propally) before railing at me for tarring all Christians with an obviously stupid brush.]
