...I'm assuming the threat of biological attack is because Sheila Jackson Lee (did I get the name right this time?) has been sitting in her chair waiting for Obama for the last 8 hours and its getting a little ripe under there. - Posted by: ParanoidGirlInSeattle at February 12, 2013 09:00 PM (RZ8pf)

So, I did a search on ixquick, on a phrase from a comment, "Google working for the feds" - top o the results is an ad for Google e-mail ("and more").

We Somali pirates don't want to use our hijacked Iranian nuke to keel you. We just want the ransom.
If we just dismantle all our weapons, the North Koreans will turn in their nukes. It's just human nature. Everybody knows that.
"It's cheaper to just not tun on the lights...."
That's how they do it in North Korea.

There's just no point in talking about running Dr. Carson for President.
This nation is just not ready for a black man as President.
Thenkew, Thenkew, I'm no Hadjii, but I get by. Tip jar is on the piano.
Bill, really, now, Supreme Court rulings? You cite that last-millennium institution as if such rulings, or that old fossil institution SCotUS, mean something today. (*cough* Justice Roberts *cough*) Next thing you know, you'll be saying something really crazy, like we have a balance of powers. Silly, silly Bill!
Seriously, would-be patriots pushed around exemplifies the success of nicks and cuts gradually accepted, which destroy the very concept of rights in the minds of the general citizenry.

No fair. Thread winner & its only #5!
Headline on Drudge: 1st Black Pope?
How I wish this kind of thing (1st Race/Sex/etc) were simply factually notable rather than any big deal. I mean, 1st woman Pope, first atheist Pope, that would be news...
So to get in the top 10s, not that I ever would be, but...
does one have to
have a consistent IP like the one for my office desktop that seems still to be banned here
join some soc-net group thingy
slip Ace a pound of bacon
stay out of the barrel
what are the requirements?
besides just posting like you have no life I mean.
Congratulations on #300. I can see you were saving up for this one.
And despite all the greatness of it, the Pennyworth bit struck me especially, and I see by comments I'm hardly alone.

“either Jesus is actually the Son of God as he claimed, or he was a madman. There is really no other sensical explanation.”
Wow. I didn’t know CS wrote that. When I read the Gospels all together for the first time as an adult, I came away utterly convinced of Jesus’ historicity — nobody could have made him up, he was just too far beyond anybody of the time, including the folks who wrote about him. And I was utterly convinced that he said and believed what he said about his pre- and post-human life, “before Abraham was, I AM,” and coming from and returning to the Father. That was just too integral a part of the whole story, said too frequently, and, especially, the real basis of his trial before the Sanhedrin, to think he never said it. So, he meant it, not metaphorically or mystically, but literally.
That kind of puts the challenge to my practical, skeptical sensibilities. Either he was the wisest guy in history, with a certain mad streak that you have to ignore, or he was consistently sane… and the Son of God, incarnate.
I had no real choice but to go with consistently sane.
As I digested that truth, I never really expected to find out more about exactly what being the “Son of God” meant, but I have never since questioned that he was.
Chrissy, on more clue. Cassels (can you tell I’m enjoying revisiting him?) talks about “a cryptic passage in the Talmud which speaks of [Jesus] having been put to death ‘on the eve of the Passover.’” The Passover “Day” began at sunset, right? So the eve of would be that Friday before sunset.
