This is pretty lighthearted and ultimately meaningless, and this thread could use some of that.

Aw man, they cut it right before the random guy falling over in his chair when he looks up from his newspaper.

Blazing Saddles is quite possibly one of my very favourite movies of all time. I'm pretty sure I have it almost entirely memorized.

This post has very little in relation to the previous one.

Perry suggests that Texans may want to secede.

So, uh, anyone got I place I can crash when my state ignites?

Don't most crazy Texans love the fact that they're part of America? Even if they're pissed off, they would never allow some fucks in their state to secede.... Right..?

Well we will once that fascist Osama I mean Obama becomes a tyrant who taxes my money and uses it to socialized health care and take away all of my guns!

Chuck Noris says he'd run for president... of Texas

Once we secede, our executive branch would be hella awesome.

It's funny that the south is pitching to build borders at a time when the rest of the democratic world is looking for new and creative ways to bring them down...

Speak for yourself, I'd love to build a wall around them.

So Fox didn't even broadcast President Obama's 100 day press conference and was the only major network to do so.

Now their pundits are asking why President Obama didn't call on any of their reporters during the press conference they refused to broadcast.

What a bunch of fucking toddlers.

So I've been browsing around, when I came across a year old NY Times article about "Purity Balls"

Basically it's more evangelical clap trap about saving (the girl's) sex for marriage. Also has a creepy angle to it about father's taking a domineering position in their daughter's sex lives. That's all par for the course with creepy Bible-thumbers, though, and isn't what got my attention. Instead, it was that in an image about girl's saving themselves for marriage and withholding from sex, this was the image they went with in the sidebar:

Oh yeah, you promise to abstain from sex until marriage, you dirty girl.

Abortion doctor murdered in church.

In CHURCH.

A Google search reveals that his church was a member of Lutherans Concerned. I spent last Christmas Eve at a Lutherans Concerned church and found it to be an inclusive, friendly place that really took all that "love thy neighbor" stuff to heart and welcomed all comers as God's children rather than damning anyone who doesn't toe the church line. A heathen like me doesn't spend a whole lot of time in houses of worship, but it's a comfort to know that places like that are out there.

And so the church welcomed, and defended, a doctor whose specialty a lot of Christian denominations think is diabolical.

And he was assassinated by a right-wing terrorist as he attended Sunday service.

The mind-boggling thing about all this is that the killer, almost certainly a self-professed Christian, will go the rest of his miserable life without ever seeing any sort of irony in killing a man in church.

Just found out about this. The article I read doesn't say whether the killer was also a member of Tiller's church, which would make sense, I suppose. Pretty fucked up either way.

I doubt abortion's going to be any less of a hot-button issue in Wichita now that Tiller's gone, though.

Thad · « **Reply #158 on:** May 31, 2009, 12:14:07 PM »

I'm going to guess he probably wasn't. The kind of guy who shoots somebody for performing abortions probably isn't going to attend a church that makes a point of welcoming the LGBT community.

Brentai · « **Reply #159 on:** June 02, 2009, 01:13:35 AM »

It's starting to sound like this was exactly the wrong abortion doctor to go and shoot.

It may be extreme bias or perhaps this guy is just extremely martyrable.
