I don't know what that means. My best guess is it's some Messianic thing.
In odd t-shirts, I some someone today wearing a shirt that said "Liberalism Breeds Terrorism" on the front and "Terrorism Breeds Liberalism" on the back.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I resisted saying "Wouldn't that depend on how Jesus slaughtered you?" but it was a near thing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Probably Jews for Jesus or a similar organization, and I think the theological concept behind it is kosher in the broader sense of pure/clean--translated into, say, Baptist, it would be "Jesus cleansed me from my sins."

Huh. In that case it seems kind of assholish confrontational.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I went to a Civil War re-enactment today. Had a good time, didn't get too sunburned, and took a bunch of pictures: [link]
There was a Union camp, a Confederate camp, a civilian camp, and sutlers area. They seem to take their costuming pretty seriously, and there were some interesting historical/modern contrasts as the re-enactors and the spectators milled about together.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Amusingly, the first cite I found for this was on an ultraconservative pre-Vatican II bitter hardcore website ranting about the ghastly moral relativism of it all.
I would just like to mention how impressed I am that these guys made a website pre-Vatican II. That shows real foresight.
Are we still talking religion? 'Cause I saw a guy downtown today wearing a t-shirt that said "Jesus made me Kosher." What does that even mean??
It means he's edible! Or, possibly, that thanks to Jesus, he's no longer one of the following:
A capitalist pig.
An imperialist running dog.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
hey BT! I am going to see an fine antipodean group tonight--Crowded House. I know they are NZ and not Aussie, but still from that neck of the woods.

Good stuff! Actually, while Neil Finn is a Kiwi (and Tim Finn when he was in the band), the other two musicians in the original line-up (Nick Seymour and Paul Hester) are Australian (were in Hester's case, he killed himself in 2005). I think the new line-up has a couple of Americans in it too.

This may just be the best thing I've ever seen. Drag Queen Affirmations. The write up about the service is in the first link. To check out their actual site, follow this link, but beware! The second link has audio. A drag queen singing (loudly and off key), "You are so wonderful! You are so wonderful!"
