Moonbat on Wingnut

Starting off with correlating those of us "moonbat liberals" who have dared put down Brit Hume's jabbering about Tiger Woods, to the Romans feeding Christians to lions in primeval times, Matt Barber's write-up gets even more absurdly off-point after that.

Hume went on FOX asserting his own faith in Jesus Christ and continued on proselytizing that "the extent to which [Tiger Woods] can recover seems to me depends on his faith". Hume pontificating that Tiger the Buddhist really should do some rethinking and accept instead the forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith for so much of that extra sex. "Tiger," he said, "turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."

Sure, after the comments were made we moonbats were pissed and said so, although I would hardly categorize it as Barber asserts "apoplectic" or with "unbridled hate". And not quite because as Barber explains it that "nothing makes the left lose its collective noodle like an open proclamation of Christian faith."

Speaking of losing noodles... yikes. Here's the deal. We don't really give a rat's ass about Brit Hume's nor anyone else's affection, or disaffection for that matter, for Jesus Christ. Way off base to conjecture that we all have anything against the good Lord whatsoever, or that even from those that might, that this has any relevance to the flare-up after Hume's pulpiteering. It doesn't. Kind of making a wingnut assumption there in my moonbat opinion.

It has to do with speaking out against intolerant, pompous religious bigotry and Hume presuming to take upon himself defining Buddhism for Tiger's best interest in being that "great example to the world". It has to do with being exasperated by the my-god's-better-than-yours attitude regardless of whichever religiosity, and criticizing out of hand another's just as legit albeit dissimilar spiritual path as being misguided.

I would like to imagine this overall matter for Tiger the opportunity for practicing the Buddhist way in dealing with challenge. As it is asked, "Master, why do you put up with this useless man? He causes more problems than he solves," the befitting answer so goes, "his irritating temper and uselessness teach me everyday how to be patient and tolerant". Whodathunkit, the Hume and Barber lot as case study of Buddhism.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
