Regular As Clockwork

A few weeks ago I remember reading in the news about Reverend Cedric Miller of New Jersey who made the news after abusing his power.  He informed his staff of 50 or so that they had a simple choice; they could delete their Facebook accounts or they could resign.  He then explained his actions with a rant about how Facebook is evil, leads to nothing but adulterous affairs, and told his congregation that they too should log off the site.

Now let's face facts; asshole religious leaders are nothing new, but I remember thinking at the time of the story how odd it was that his attacks were so impassioned, and that he was willing to make the national media over his decision.

Well, the truth came out today.  Like so many extremist holy men that like to preach fire and brimstone, he is a corrupt hypocritical asshole, and had his own sexual issues he was dealing with, not to mention issues of faith.

Apparently this autocratic preacher was fucking the wife of one of his staff members, and sometimes doing it with her husband present too.  These three and four way sexual encounters took place with the pastor's own wife right after Bible study on Thursday and also after Sunday church service.

I wonder if his Bible study classes included Leviticus (20:10):

And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Oops!

I guess I'm just taking it out of context, or the passage is negated by John 8:3-8.  Whatever.  I'm not actually calling for this man to be executed, but I do believe that the resignation he has offered should be accepted post haste.

I get that some people feel the need to spend their lives preaching about the magic invisible man in the sky, and I have no problem with that.  But here is yet another example of some extremist jerk telling his congregation of 1,100 people how to live their lives, and further abusing his position over the 50 staff members he was responsible for to impose his own agenda, all while going against everything he claimed to stand for.

There are hundreds of examples of religious men abusing their position of trust over the course of history.  If you must go to church, at least try not to be naive about it.

Meh - Simpsons Porn #1

On this blog I have covered many serious issues. The incompetence of George Bush, poverty, the health care crisis, the election, evil corporations and many other less important things.

But in what can only be described as a sad day for this blog, the article I wrote about the Simpson's word 'Meh' being added to the dictionary is now number one out of over 300 articles!

Based on my hit statistics, this isn't due to people searching for the word 'Meh' or anything innocuous. This is because people are searching for simpsons porn and getting my page by accident.

If Lisa Simpson were real, I'm sure she would shed a few tears over the human condition that has pushed that article to the top of my hit counter.

For those interested in the statistics, a Google Image search for 'simpsons sex' now produces a staggering 1.9 million hits, while 'simpsons porn' produces close to a million images. Meh!

In any case, thanks for the hits pervets. Please enjoy your stay. Sorry I censored Lisa Simpson in the picture above. But you'll have to look elsewhere for naked cartoon children having sex.

Bristol Palin; The Family Brains?

Bristol Palin has spoken out against her mother's idiotic stance on abstinence only education.

During an interview on Fox News, Sarah Palin's daughter, who is an unwed teen mother, stated that the concept of not teaching the facts of life in favor of abstinence was fucking stupid. Well to be fair, those were not her exact words, but she did state that her mother, the failed vice presidential candidate in the 2008 general election, was completely unrealistic in her views on sex education.

In a sad indictment of her relationship with Sarah Palin, Bristol told Fox News that telling her fanatical right wing moron of a mother that she was pregnant was harder than labor. In fact their relationship was so strained that she had to get a friend to break the news to her mother.

Well folks, that's what happens when you are a right wing religious nut job, and raise your kids in an unrealistic bubble. They no longer feel they can confide in or trust you.

Bristol is supposedly going to take on an advocacy role, using her experience to teach teens that getting pregnant in high school sucks. Who knows, maybe she will even demonstrate intelligence that far surpasses her mother, and campaign for teens to receive real sex education that includes information about contraception.

It is always sad to see that Republicans are so dumb that bad things have to actually happen to them personally before they can understand a concept.

Study: Virginity Rings Don't Work

I've long been suspicious of the abstinence movement, especially when coupled with virginity rings, abstinence pledges, and a lack of proper sex education.

A new study has shown that the concept is in fact just as stupid as I always thought it was.

Specifically, the study found that virginity pledgers have sex for the first time at similar ages to those who don't take a pledge or wear a moron ring. They are just as likely to engage in vaginal, anal or oral sex. They are just as likely to have STDs.

In fact the only real difference the study discovered is that pledgers are 10% less likely to use a condom, and less likely to use any form of birth control than non-pledgers (thus proving their ignorance and stupidity).

The study also found that five years after taking the pledge 80% denied ever having made such a promise or pledge. Showing that not only are they gullible, immature and stupid, they are also more likely to lie.

With any luck the new government will stop peddling this religious-based abstinence crap on our kids and return to teaching facts.

Meh - New Words and Simpsons Sex

When I begin a blog post, I like to find an image to go with my post to set the tone for the blog entry. This isn't it.

I was initially intending to blog about the declaration that a Simpson's word, 'meh,' has now become an official word in the Collins English Dictionary.

The word is a statement of apathy, and is thought to originate from a 2001 Simpsons episode when the kids, Lisa and Bart, were asked if they wanted to go on a day trip. They merely responded 'meh' and continued watching TV.

Those compiling the dictionary claim that the word began to enter use in America, hit the Internet, and is now part of the spoken English language, thus earning a place in the dictionary.

Now what surprised me was what an innocent Google image search produced when I started looking for a Simpsons picture to put on my blog entry.

Let's just say there are some people out there with some serious time on their hands, and a strange obsession with Simpsons characters!

There are apparently entire web sites dedicated to every manner of sex act between any and all of the Simpsons characters, this would include copious amounts of incestual relationships and bestiality. Just about anything you can imagine, and probably things you hadn't really thought about the Simpsons characters doing!

The Internet is a strange world indeed.
