Yeah, Jesse. The President Bartlet (and Catholic, and Anglican) version is "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
Which, depending on your semantic creativity, might allow room for pantheism.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, also, I was just thinking about how much I want to read Allyson's awesome book. Not the fandom one, the next one. Because it kicks so much ass.
Thanks, Nutty. Phew!

NYers, this was on Gawker:
As New York melts into a jaded little puddle, Starbucks is taking pity on everyone and offering free iced coffee at all locations from 1-3 PM today.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I already finished the first essay, "The Pantyhose Man."
Um. I AM A PROFESSIONAL WRITER!
I never get tired of typing that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh! I just passed by an utterly packed Starbucks, and wondered what the hell. Needless to say, not the best way I'd choose to beat the heat.

Yeah, eff that -- I'm not waiting outside for a free iced coffee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Back to what we were talking about yesterday: Castro's Sister Attests "He's Very Sick, But He's Not Dead"...
Here's the CNN story: [link] My God, she actually looks like him.
She hasn't spoken to Castro since 1963, the year before she emigrated to Miami. But Juanita Castro said her information about her brother is accurate.
"I have my way to know everything -- not everything, but some very important things," she said.

I really don't think the literalist who are loudest in our current culture are the majority of christians now or ever.
In last year's Pew survey, 36% of Americans said that the Bible was the word of God and should be taken literally. 40% said the Bible was the word of God, but not everything in it should be taken literally.
So it's a pretty near thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Castro's sister emigrated to Miami? I don't know why I find that so shocking, but I do.
