kinda cute and quaint in retrospect. I wonder how many failures today will be viewed in the same terms by future generations. Our efforts at immigration reform? The credit crunch?

Israel: Doing the Math for Gilad Shalit’s Freedom – TIME
Considering how many Palestinians the Israeli government kills for each Israeli Jew that is killed in this conflict, these numbers sound about right.
If a fair and just reaction to one dead Israeli Jew is the extermination of hundreds of Palestinians civilians, then one Israeli Jew must be worth hundred of Palestinians. Pay up pricks.

Jesus Christ May Not Have Died on Cross, Scholar Says – ABC News
Seriously? This is being reported as news too? Am I the only fucking person on the planet who has read the Bible? It’s not like it’s been around for two millenia or anything.
Um, duh! The Christians coopted the symbol of the cross from pagan populations they were trying to convert. Everywhere they went they adopted the local agrarian based religious symbolism so to make the religion seem commonplace to people with their own established traditions. this is how we get Easter Bunnies, Easter Eggs, Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, Yule Logs, etc. etc. I can not belive this is a “new” revelation. Damn the American population is fucking stupid.

Welcome to the future, a fully toxic and unusable East Coast. Thank you Obama administration for your grasp of the severity of the situation and for you timely and diligent efforts to contain the spill. Um, not.
