Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.

Well, my SIL says she doesn’t hate me (or my husband) and excuses her calling Harry Potter evil by saying she’s looking out for the kids and “you only have one chance”.  She also says that I shouldn’t lump all Christians in with the “haters”. She finds the nonsense about backmasking silly too and is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown

What happened in Newtown was a tragedy and horrific.  It was sudden, violent and unlike what Americans like to think is “normal”.  Similar things happen every day in the world, sometimes slower but still horrific.  Unsuprisingly, we have TrueChristians, Bryan Fischer and Mike Huckabee (we already know he’s a horrible person and not the friendly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”

Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry at what people do.  This Christmas I’m getting my nieces and nephews books.  So, I ask sister in law in an email  “what would the kids like to read about”.  And she says the Hunger Games for the eldest (she also seriously suggested Bill O’Reilly’s exercises … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Calling something “evil”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong

Unsuprisingly, Pat Robertson is now creating excuses for why he lied about his god telling him who was going to win the presidential election.  Poor Pat, I knew this would happen.   "So many of us miss God. I won't get into great detail about elections but I sure did miss it. I thought I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Secession! and a smidgen of geology

Isn’t “pout-rage” such a great word?  It fits just about anyone who takes a fit when something doesn’t go their way, from three-year olds, to theocrats who can’t watch women’s vaginas when they want to.   One of the best examples of this pout-rage is the calls for secession from the United States of America.  Poor … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Secession! and a smidgen of geology

Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!

(yes, the entire blogosphere seems to be doing a post about Huckabee on The Daily show.  It gives me a reason to address specific parts of the bible, so I’m getting my own licks in)   Jon Stewart of The Daily Show did an excellent job at showing how Mike Huckabee is quite a liar or simply … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Anyone remember Robertson’s claims about God telling him who will be president?

Well, I didn't get one of my prophecies right.  Obama won pretty handily.  However, I hit it on the nose about the claims of TrueChristians about how the end times are a comin!  Franklin Graham, following right in the footsteps of his failed prophet father Billy, has this to say: "I want to warn America: … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Anyone remember Robertson’s claims about God telling him who will be president?

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill

Blog posts about this are a dime a dozen, but I wanted to document that the Harrisburg paper has hopefully the last screed by a scared old man who  wants to play pretend that he and only he knows what his imaginary friend wants.  Billy Graham, anti-semite and self-annointed prophet (he was sure that by … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Mistakes” about which day to vote

Recently, there's been a rash of the wrong information being put on voter documents that tell people when to vote.   The date "mistakenly" put on would *always* make people too late to vote.  http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/18/us/arizona-spanish-election-ballot/index.html http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2012/10/democrats_blast_ottawa_county.html Why is there never a time where the wrong date is days ahead of the actually voting day?  If these … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Mistakes” about which day to vote

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient

The supporters of "family values" strike again!  The latest hypocrisy here in Pennsylvania is perpetrated by Representatives of *both* parties, sadly enough.  Rep. RoseMarie Swanger(R), Rep. Thomas Caltagirone (D), Rep. Mark Gillen(R), Rep. Keith Gillespie(R), Rep. Adam Harris(R), Rep.Mike Tobash(R), have all decided that women won't get more help from welfare for an additional baby over a certain number *unless* she can prove … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient
