I agree 100%.
PaDad once found the liner of a Nike sneaker in ours (after he took it off the floor and dispatched me to the hardware store for yet another wax ring--he replaces them each time he has had to 'plumb.') We had to wonder if someone put their foot in there? Also, the wings of a Nerf football...foam, I guess, does not flush. BUT NOBODY KNEW HOW THEY GOT THERE!!!
Count me in on the Mel rule. And thanks for the pics!
First time I can remember Coulter ever mentioning the evil Dowd by name. Ooooohhh - catfight?

How is an effective working majority in the House and Senate, and a dedicated Administration team, not a "mandate"?
The "Formr Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" had a LOT less popular support, and yet HE had a "mandate" in 1993. Which he promptly p*ssed away.
Garry Wills ---- denounced America in The New York Times as an unenlightened nation full of people who believe "more fervently in the Virgin Birth than in evolution."
I plead guilty as charged.
Dowd said they were "a devoted flock of evangelicals, or 'values voters,' as they call themselves ... opposing abortion, suffocating stem cell research and supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage."
If I may substitute the Right to Keepand Bear Arms for supporting a Constitutional Amendment against gay marriage, again I would plead guilty as charged.
I am not against a Constitutional Amendment against gay mariage, I am just a anti abortion, pro second amendment guy.
ping for a good read
Does this mean we're jihadists for Jesus?
when you're right, you're right!!!!
"Am I right?"
NO!
Ack! I have never seen a chick airbrushed enough to look like the hood of a car.
Not good.
We don't have any (human) kids, but when I hear the parrot mutter to himself, "bad bird... bad bird...", I know it's time to go see what he's up to.
He also scolds the dogs and cats when appropriate (e.g. "Holly, *stop* it..."), so he's a pretty handy "trouble alarm".
ROFL! Musta been a whole tub of Vaseline on that lens. Or on the model (not that there's anything wrong with that...) Or both.
LOL! I could see me (a Sailor) using a parrot as my child monitor:
**SQUAACK!** "Kids are effing up, kids are effing up!!" **whistle**
If only out taglines were longer...that one is a keeper...
What kind of sick mind "fervently" believes in evolution?
If evolution is the true mechanism for the coming-to-being of man, then the details are ultimately irrlevant. It is what it is, and it doesn't matter to us one way or the other. We are but a blip in a billion-year-long process of no consequence to anyone but ourselves, so who gives a fig where we came from or where we're going?
Whereas the Virgin Birth is of immediate importance in the everyday world, so it makes sense to "fervently" believe in the Virgin Birth. What makes no sense to me at all is a "lukewarm" belief in the Virgin Birth. If you believe, the entire world is transformed by the effects of that event, so it should be important to you.
I will answer my own first question about the sick mind.
The person who "fervently" believes in evolution wants to demonstrate to his lessers that their belief in God is misguided superstition. It is of central importance to such a person that their is no Deity, and that we are all products of random, accidental interactions. To them, evolution is of vital interest because it "proves" the non-existance of God.
To such people, I happily say, "Go away!"
Look at this image. It certainly isn't the product of evolution. On the other hand, it wasn't created by intelligent design. I didn't create that image. No artist drew it. And it isn't the result of any random process.
It is part of the infinite fractal image created from the very simple Mandelbrot formula:
z'=z*z + c
Some parts of the Mandelbrot image are quite beautiful and others are somewhat disturbing -- but always varied. That same formula also produces this:
As far as we know, the universe is governed by simple mathematical rules. Scientists are sometimes asked, "If the rules are simple, then why is the universe so complex? The standard answer used to be that somehow random variation in the space-time fabric causes the complexity.
But today we know that infinitely complex things can be created without any randomness at all.
Maybe there is another alternative between evolution and intelligent design.
