Thoughtless for the Day

Rabbit, rabbit.

Mel Gibson, despite having issued a plea for forgiveness to Jewish community (I encourage all Jewy readers of RATYHTL to take a break from sacrificing Gentile babies and tell us non-mud people exactly what Mel can do to earn your forgiveness ), may have wanted to spend the day avoiding the Jewboy owned serious of tubes that is the Internets. In particular, Mel "I'm not an anti-Semite; I just hate Jews" Gibson would've wanted to steer clear of this literary knee-drop from Christopher Hitchens in which Hitch refers to Gibson's The Passion as a "twistedly homoerotic spank-movie"

It just hasn't been a good couple of days for some of the more delusional branches of Christianity. Last week a bunch of End-timers got all worked up [possibly the scariest link I've ever posted!] over the discovery of a Medieval Bible in an Irish bog. It's not that these booger-mining morons are fans of Archeology; no, these folks were falling on the floor and speaking in tongues because it was reported that the Bible was opened Psalm 83 which, in part, references the "wiping out Israel" by other nations (but not Mel Gibson). Those of us with some knowledge of Latin and history just smiled, sat back, and waited for the other sandal to drop. And on last Tuesday it did.

You see, while Psalm 83 does invoke the "wiping out Israel" it only does so in the King James Bible. What the Irish Archeologist (no doubt digging for potatoes) found was a copy of the Latin Vulgate. Psalm 83 in the Vulgate concerns the "vale of tears". Cry me a river, Fundies.

And in Kansas, some batshit crazy school board members are in serious danger of losing their seats.

Congratulations to the Greens of PA for gathering 100,000 signatures on their petitions to place Carl Romanelli, Marakay Rogers, and Christina Valente on the ballot. I'd like to say I helped, but other than signing myself, I was useless. And yes, I'm well aware that many Santorum supports have donated to the Romanelli campaign. Would you rather these fuckwits spend their cash on "Worlds Most Bigoted Grandpa" figurines or FOX News mugs?
