Recent Comments- Desiato on Stephen Colbert is winning the war against the Supreme Court and Citizens United.: I read that article before I saw it here and couldn't figure out in what sense Colbert is having an impact that can seriously be described as "winning". I mean, The Daily Show makes the Republican party look ridiculous every day, but is Jon Stewart "winning" against the GOP? No, right? So... what real impact is Colbert having? It's not like his actions have led to discussion of alternative regulation as the article claims--that discussion has been around much longer.

- Spaceman Spiff on Koch Brothers, Allies Pledge $100 Million At Private Meeting To Beat Obama: IMO, the Koch brothers should be arrested and tried for sedition... These are two of the most vile and malevolent people on the planet, who unfortunately have the $$ wherewithal to propagate their fascist leanings.
- Spaceman Spiff on Tigard businessman blocked from returning to U.S. after humanitarian trip to Libya: Dang keyboard! It just keeps misunderstanding me! It is kind of like HAL from 2001.

- Spaceman Spiff on Tigard businessman blocked from returning to U.S. after humanitarian trip to Libya: So, Hitler won WW2 after all. It just took him 60 years or so after his demise to do it... :-( So, when are are going to people of Muslim origins to internment camps "for their protection"? Accountability? Our government no longer has to worry about that!
- Steffen on Bath Christian group’s ‘God can heal’ adverts banned: As of Mark 7, Jesus even declared basic hygiene to be unneccessary, where he ridiculed the old tradition of washing hands and cups before eating, and declared that (Mark 7,15) "Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them."
Physicians who wanted to introduce hygiene in hospitals in the 19th century faced fierce resistance. I can imagine that the christian ideology "all humans are sinful, only the salvation of the soul is what matters, the body is insignificant, suffering is good" played a significant role in this resistance and was (again) responsible for unneccessary suffering and countless deaths.
