Good luck, Gloomcookie.
Cindy, are you watching the game?
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not yet, sj. Ben is. I can't take the pressure this year. I'm going to have to tear Ben away soon, to make sure he studies for his big social studies test. I think I'll give him to the third inning.

Of course the funny thing is even though the common wisdom is Christian == Republican (obviously incorrect common wisdom when you think about the numbers), the most religious recent president easily has to be Jimmy Carter.

And the least religious President in recent memory may have been Reagan.

It's awful. Take Ben away from the tv and save him the emotional scars. I wish someone could come save me from watching it.

I was going to write something about how much that house would sell for in my Bay Area neighborhood, (it looks like a bargain to me), but I've decided I'm depressed enough over the housing situation and I'm just going to sit here quietly and sob.
Sobbing with Sparky. Also quietly because at work. In a library. Shhh.
dw, where did you get your church attendance statistics? They don't jive with what I've seen, either as statistics or my own personal experience, but both the stats I've seen before and my own personal experience may be skewed and/or incorrect.
eta: every now and then I just like to go with the stereotype!

Feh. I got all excited because I saw office supplies at Jilli's Cafe Press, and then when I clicked through found mouse pads. I thought I was going to find lovely stationery and pens and such. Pete and Jilli, we need stationery and pens and such!
I am such an office supply addict. It's just not even funny.
Oh, and the designs are gorgeous. I'm seriously considering light plate covers, but I don't think I have singletons at home. I'll have to check.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah, I don't think W's ever displayed a lot of Biblical knowledge. Has he pretended to? I may just have missed it on account of the purposefully not paying attention to anything political until a date to be determined.
Sure, when he 'stopped' drinking by 'finding jesus' (as opposed to something rash like, oh, AA) and studied Acts line by line for two years. And then got trumped on biblical knowledge by a jewish comedian. I'd say that's pretending quite a bit.
Isn't a nominal knowledge of the Koran expected in countries with large nominally Muslim populations? Do you think a candidate for political office in Lebanon could get away with saying anything dumb about the Koran?
As I understand it, other than Turkey (which is avowedly secular in its governance) any other country with a Muslim majority is to some degree either officially or effectively a theocracy. Of course, Iraq was pretty secular...
