Now tagless for your comfort.
How can this legally get federal money. Does it sneak in as a health issue?
The Department of Health and Human Services under Bush has financed the Healthy Marriage Initiative.
It was included in an omnibus bill in 2005 and given $100 MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY "to encourage marriage and promote the well-being of children."
I got spammed on a local moms' message board about attending healthy marriage workshops put on my a local group, thinkmarriage.org. I had to smack them down by telling them I wasn't in their priority group--if I wanted marriage counseling, I could afford it myself. They were intent on filling up seats in the workshop, though, to justify their existence.
Oh, and they used their tax-payer funding to put up billboards with pro-marriage messages.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If I was in charge of this, I'd make a bunch of LOLCats billboards to promote marriage. Like a picture of a dog and cat snuggling, with a caption: "Marriage: Ur doing it wrong!"

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I got the yoga one, missed the meatball one.
I got all but the meatball one.
None of them were funny, though.

I was behind a minivan the other day with a bumper sticker that said "Chastity is for LOVERS!" I still can't figure that one out.

Maybe Chastity is a bisexual escort?

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

Everyone knows that. Again, it has nothing to do with religion.

Maybe it is satire. The problem is that it's hard to spot actually satire because of all the crazy out there.

That's Poe's Law.
Totally unrelated, but: the BBC site for the new Last Chance To See series (with Stephen Fry replacing Adams) is up: [link] (And paging Allyson: the latest entry on Mark's page features fruit bats!)

If Obama gets elected, what are all these right-wing nuts gonna do?
Rep. Steve King: Obama Will Make America A ‘Totalitarian Dictatorship’
On Saturday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) gave little-noticed remarks at Sioux City’s West High School during an appearance by Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK). King went beyond the traditional right-wing talking points — which brand Obama a “Marxist” who adheres to “socialism” — and said that he would turn the United States into a “totalitarian dictatorship.” From a report by the Iowa Independent:
King, known for provocative, partisan remarks, suggested Obama actually could be classified as even more extreme than a socialist. King also said his party is the only one with a legitimate claim on representing freedom as Americans know it.
“When you take a lurch to the left you end up in a totalitarian dictatorship,” King said. “There is no freedom to the left. It’s always to our side of the aisle.”
Words fail me....
