Who is like unto the Obama?

Apparently, it's International Blasphemy Day. (Not to be confused with International Public Urination day or International Wiping-Boogers-On-The-Couch Day.)

So what's the difference between this and this:




Answer: The first is just a bunch of educated-beyond-their-intelligence ass ferrets engaging in the equivalent of third-grade potty humor (Hee hee! Poo-poo-head! Fart on mom!) in hopes of offending a billion or so people who never did them any harm.

Whereas the second is actual blasphemy. Not to mention really, really creepy. You really have to see it to believe it.

A tip of the ol' Akubra to Mark Shea for both. And another A/T to anyone who got the reference in the post title at first glance.

Every time I start to despair for my species...

... I see something like this.

Badass brethren

Check out the captions here. Some of the ones I liked:

"The main suspects in yesterday's drive-by baptisms."

"Look out! It's the brothers from Our Lady of the Broken Kneecaps."

"What's that, a sissy? You callin' St. Francis a sissy?"

"(not pictured: The Devil pissing his pants)"

"Alright. Let's baptize the shit out of this kid."

And my personal favorite: "Felonious Monks"

With gratitude and happy taste buds

A few weeks ago when I went to drop off Long Drink with his mother, I stopped off in Goldendale and saw my boyhood friend Alec and met his lovely wife Florame. Last night we finally opened the homemade wine they sent home with me, and this song has been stuck in my head ever since. (I suspect this slightly warped video is from an old VHS tape straight off MTV. Must be 30 years by now, almost. I was fortunate to see the Gordfather play it live in 1992.)




That wine was some of the best stuff I've ever laid lips on. Thanks, guys!

Shoe, meet Other Foot

Looks like a pro-life protester was gunned down in front of a school this morning. No doubt this pro-abort asshat is dancing gleeful little jigs.

Naturally, Murder Inc. had a statement:

Lori Lamerand, president and Chief Executive Officer of Planned Parenthood East Central Michigan, also expressed shock and sadness at the news.

"We want to be very clear that we have no idea if this was related to his views, but Planned Parenthood would never condone any sort of violence against anyone, regardless of their views," said Lamerand.

Yeah, I wish you the same luck we pro-lifers had getting that across.

Meanwhile, we'll see how many liberals hold candlelight vigils for Jim Pouillon. And how many have the honesty and courage to hold pro-aborts responsible for his blood. My guess is that we'll see a rash of articles about how he had it coming, and there's no comparison between the saintly Dr. Tiller and this violent sign-holder.

Yash Skala is still remembered

As part of the 2996 Project, I posted this on the fifth anniversary of 9/11. Go read it, then follow the first link and read the other 2,995 stories. It's still true.
