Islam, the "false religion"
To some extent, if you don't accept that the Qur'an is the true word of God as delivered by Gabriel to Muhammad, then you consider Islam a "false religion". Maybe it's a matter of context.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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
24 hour news is a dangerous thing. They have to fill all that time so they babble about inane shit and pretend its news.

Because books.
I think I'm having sliced tomatoes on Italian bread with fresh mozzarella and olive oil, toasted open face.
My boss says anger drives her to do good things, but for me it just makes me a) sick and b) unpleasant to be around.
I wish I was like that, but I'm more like you, Sophia. That kind of anger just shuts me down, and I might rant to Stephen for a little while, but then I just withdraw and seethe.

I am stuck here waiting for the electrician. I want a pedicure. And to go grocery shopping. And my parents want to shop for some porch furniture. Dad "assessed" the porch supports and told me what I already knew.
Grump.

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

I'm guessing it is. People who say Islam is a "false religion" are almost always rightwing Christians who believe the US was founded on Christian principles.

What's even scarier is if you break down the numbers not by party affiliation, but by region:

I have got to get the FUCK OUT OF HERE. Please, fates, send a wonderful job opportunity to my husband. I won't even bitch about moving, I swear!
I don't know where to send them, though - just somewhere ELSE, on the other side of a nice WALL (like in Rucker's SCIFI, we could exile them to Florida) and leave them there to stew in their own hypocrisy and madness.
For the love of all that's good and puppies, NOT UNTIL I LEAVE THIS GODFORSAKEN PIT OF DESPAIR!

The conspiracy theory that is bugging me right now is that government health care for the elderly means that the elderly won't get health care and die. Ack! They almost all already have government health care. Health care reform is supported by the AARP. Geez.

Jon Stewart showed amazing footage last night about Obama getting asked crazy-ass questions about health care reform.

Well, then there are those who believe that government health care for the elderly means that when the elderly get sick, they will be euthanized. No, really - a lot of people think that.
