I have been watching this presidential democratic race since the beginning now, and I am really getting sick of these fuckers called “super delegates”. Can they just make up their precious minds and pick a side for fuck sake. What else do they need to know about these candidates? Pick a candidate, and let this circus end! Do we really have to wait until they feel like they have enough info? Is there anything more to know about Hilary or Obama at this point, or do these “super delegates” waiting for some kind of a scandal to break out, so they can pick opposing side? Everything there is to know about each candidate is known by now, and the only thing everyone is waiting is for these fuckers to show some god damn respect for their own party by picking a candidate and let this charade end, otherwise republicans will eat them up for lunch in November, and those precious “super fuckers” will be responsible for biggest crime since the native Indian genocide. So make up your god damn mind and choose. You’re not THAT important!

Couldn’t be said better.

New one from Pat.

Typical thought process of a creationist.  Let’s call him… Earl.

• I am at the center of the universe.
• Universe had me in mind when it was created.
• All laws of physics and universal constants solely exist just to form me.
• Evolution (if true) knows that I am here, and it cares about me.
• The whole world, including animals in it, is here just to serve me.
• The whole universe with stars is out there just to serve me and for mine benefit only.
• World is a beautiful place; Everywhere I turn I see God’s mighty creation, however that is not good enough for me. I want something much better and greater.
• I live very fulfilling life and have a wonderful family and friends, have excellent job that I like, but I know that after I die, I will go to a much better place.
• I know that God loves me so much that he gave his only son so that I could be saved.

I don’t know about you, but I think after we knock down all the walls and remove the ceiling in Earl’s house, we should have just enough room for his EGO!

The whole money system (including sub-prime mortgages) explained in about nine satirical and hilarious minutes.

It’s truly sad to find out after almost 8 years of W’s rule, not one good thing he accomplished in his “presidency”. Not one! I have really tried, but the best republicans and conservatives can do is: Banned partial birth abortion, signed no child left behind bill and cut taxes. All of those three turned out disastrous, and republicans should hide under the fucking rock every time any of those disasters are mentioned.

This… “walking disaster” we call president, did more to fuck up this country, than all of the republican presidents combined (ok so I’ m biased against republicans. I consider it to be the healthiest thing citizen can do, so sue me for caring). He actually fucked up this country (and some of the others as well) so much, that the next president will actually have an easy job unfucking it. Yes, an easy job! Everyone is saying how the next president will have a tough job, will have to really be on his/hers game, will have to work overtime, bla bla bla, but I really don’t see how’s that possible. The fact is, things cannot get more fucked up than there are now; no matter who’s in the office. It really does not matter who you vote for next year. We’re at the bottom right now, and the only way to go is up. On the fuck scale, this is fuckup of tantric proportions.

As a matter of fact, qualifications for the next president should only be that he’s a human being, and maybe that he can wipe himself with no external help, and conditions in this country would surely improve. You can even put a fucking chipmunk in the oval office, and things would definitely be less fucked up, so whoever is the next president can look forward to a walk in the fucking park.

Note: If you’re easily offended by the use of the word “fuck” in this article.. Fuck off!

BTW: Here’s a uhm… satiric look at Bush’s resume.

I thought I knew a lot about Albert Einstein, but this little article put me in my place.

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” So said Albert Einstein, and his famous aphorism has been the source of endless debate between believers and non-believers wanting to claim the greatest scientist of the 20th century as their own.A little known letter written by him, however, may help to settle the argument – or at least provoke further controversy about his views.

Due to be auctioned this week in London after being in a private collection for more than 50 years, the document leaves no doubt that the theoretical physicist was no supporter of religious beliefs, which he regarded as “childish superstitions”.

Einstein penned the letter on January 3 1954 to the philosopher Eric Gutkind who had sent him a copy of his book Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt. The letter went on public sale a year later and has remained in private hands ever since.

In the letter, he states: “The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”

Einstein, who was Jewish and who declined an offer to be the state of Israel’s second president, also rejected the idea that the Jews are God’s favoured people.

“For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything ‘chosen’ about them.”

Here’s a great article from NPR about evolution and scientist that actually studies it.

Short excerpt:

“I believe evolution. It’s easy. It’s my life. I’m a paleoanthropologist. I study fossils of humans, apes and monkeys, and I teach college students about their place in nature.

Of course I believe evolution.

But that is different from believing in evolution.”
