Lazy Sunday
Monday, December 10th, 2007Just in case you’re wondering, I recently got access to Hulu and am browsing.

Hitchens on Religion
Monday, June 11th, 2007I’m rather new to the rather interesting enigma that is Christopher Hitchens, and I find that I often disagree with him, but as a religion-hating atheist, I find myself rather often shouting in agreement with him for his politically-incorrect but flat-fucking-out true statements about religion.
In celebration of hatred of superstition and in solidarity with all those who call out the irrational bullshit that is god-worship, here are some of my favorite clips of him from our blessed YouTube:
In reference to ecumenism: “We need to have inoculation against plague, not the spread of a more gentle version of it.”
When Sean Hannity asks if he’s angry at God, Hitchens responds: “Not at God, of course. That would be absurd.”
When asked why a “religious nation” (the US) had to save his “secular nation” (the UK) from the Nazis in WW2, he politely reminds the questioner that America is a secular nation by law and the UK is a religious nation by law.
“Religion ends where philosophy begins just like alchemy ends where chemistry begins just like astrology ends where astronomy begins.”
In many cases, this guy says on a national stage what I believe, and with conviction and eloquence. Now, Mr. Hitchens, please do something with your hair … like not boozing it up in DC all the time.
Now finally, my favorite short clip:
“I think [religion should be] treated with ridicule and hatred and contempt, and I claim that right.” I could kiss him.
Get Some Nuts!

The Madness of King George
Saturday, January 13th, 2007Olbermann has another spot-on retort, this time to President Bush’s so-called “surge” speech:
My own summary of the speech: “I didn’t make any mistakes, but ambiguous actors will stop the buck in my vicinity—before, during, or after the time when I’m am in that vicinity. Let’s forget that we went to Iraq on utterly fallacious pretenses and pretend that it was ever worth going to war there. Let’s pretend that Iraq’s worth fighting for and endanger even more American lives by sending in a few more expendable soldiers just to give the new government breathing room. Let’s pretend everything I ever said about Iraq never happened. I’m scared the Democrats read more books than I do.”
The Death of Habeas Corpus
Sunday, October 22nd, 2006I have no words.
Thanks to Matt for the heads-up.
I am Mrs. Olbermann.
Thursday, October 12th, 2006I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I fucking love Keith Olbermann. He is the anti-Ann Coulter, the anti-George Bush, the anti-Bill O’Reilly. I know nothing about him except that which he says on his show, and despite the fact that he is (I think) a theist and (I think) a liberal, commentary so incisive, so full of sincere lividity, and so honest in the face of evil, like the following, is why he is my fucking hero.
