Legal case against God dismissed
[Quote:]
A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.
The suit was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal against the ruling.
He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the “death, destruction and terrorisation” caused by God.
Judge Marlon Polk said in his ruling that a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a case to proceed.

He said he would carefully consider Judge Polk’s ruling before deciding whether to appeal.
The court, Mr Chambers said, had acknowledged the existence of God and “a consequence of that acknowledgement is a recognition of God’s omniscience”.
“Since God knows everything,” he reasoned, “God has notice of this lawsuit.”

Anti-gay GOP Congressman’s $150K earmark for theater tied to staffer’s gay sex and drug film

I know, I keep saying how you just can’t make this stuff up, but here we go again…
Homobigot GOP Congressman Virgil Goode of Virginia, a man who scored a “perfect” HRC scorecard zero every year since 2001, is the subject of an investigation by Mike Stark of Accountability Moments and Mike Rogers of BlogActive. It won’t be popular with the fundie crowd.

Normal
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

It’s the simplest manifestation of what a day planner is all about: time on paper. The clocks occupy a small amount of space on the page and rest is completely flexible. You can write in your own dates at the top of each page, and you can treat the rest of the space like a blank page.
Listen to Tim Cook
[Quote:]
This was Apple speaking directly to its investors and to the business press. Apple wants them to understand the Mac business. Cook outlined six main points which he claims Apple believes are the reasons behind the four-year-long growth in Mac sales:
1. Better computers
2. Better software
3. Compatibility
4. Vista
5. Marketing
6. Retail Stores“You may wonder,” Cook said, “why is Vista on the list. I think it’s fair to say that Vista hasn’t lived up to everything Microsoft had hoped it would. And consequently, it’s opened doors for a lot of people to consider switching to the Mac.”1
What does not appear on that list is price. This is not to say price is irrelevant to the Mac, or that Apple is somehow immune to the circumstances of the economy, but simply that price is not and has never been one of the main factors in the Mac’s success. Cook’s list isn’t marketing bullshit — it’s an accurate, succinct description of Apple’s computer business.
[..]
Yesterday’s entire event, the whole thing, could be summarized by these five words from Cook: “We don’t compromise on quality.”
No address? There’s at least one building in most towns colloquially referred to as the ‘house of god’ – just use the address of one of those.
Of course, actually serving an imaginery being with legal papers, even if he does own millions of homes around the world, might be a little harder!
