What do you think? Is this what McCain will be remembered for?

I reported before that Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers was suing god for committing evil and making terroristic threats. I’m sorry to say now that God beat the rap, and now has something in common with O.J. Simpson. Of course, he got off on a technicality.
“Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice,” Judge Polk wrote in his ruling.
So just because god is really good at hiding, or nonexistent, nobody can sue him? I think the judge should have at least issued a standing order for his arrest in case he ever does show up.
Whatever you do, don’t let her answer the red phone.
Wait until the wingnuts get this: Hindus are presenting Obama with a monkey-god idol.
The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms. An hour-long prayer meeting to sanctify the idol was earlier organised at Sankat Mochan Dham and by Congress leader Brijmohan Bhama, Balmiki Samaj and the temple’s priests. “Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him,” said Bhama.
And in other news, we have a lovely brass statue of the Buddha at our house, which I guess makes me a Buddhist, and we also have a stuffed cobra, which makes us Satanists. And we have a Bible or two, and a copy of the Koran, and somewhere I have a copy of some very pretty and colorful book the Hare Krishnas handed to me in an airport once. Since I also own a complete set of DVDs for both Buffy and Firefly, I must also be a devout Whedonist. I guess Obama and I have a plurality of gods to go up against the blinkered and benighted monotheists, then.
Browse the IgNobel Awards and find your favorites. I rather liked the idea of ovulatory status affecting the earnings of lap dancers (although I’d like to know more about other factors that might influence performance), but the best was the title of the paper that won the literature prize: “You Bastard: A Narrative Exploration of the Experience of Indignation within Organizations.”
I guess I wasn’t paying attention. Good thing there are sources on the web to explain history to me.
But then, isn’t everything? We had a veritable orgy of communion wafer consumption in Springfield, enhanced by a chocolate coating. Why can’t the transubstantiation trick involve chocolate and milk instead of bread and wine?
Have you ever noticed what the first result you get if you google for gift from god is? He does love us!

He’s already got the zombie vote and the fundiebot vote locked up, now he just needs to capture the teenaged male vote with a little violence in short-attention-span theater.
I’m over fifty. I can’t watch that without my head hurting.
