Displaying 18,061 To 18,090 Of 19,504 Comments Yes, I was really looking forward to your take on it. So glad you enjoyed it! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 11:20 pm Good night and God bless. And Gesundheit. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 9:25 pm You can imagine my surprise when I asked to borrow the Crown of Thorns and they gave me a Crown of Thors, made out of Thor comic books. They’re such practical jokers! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 9:14 pm Yep, I thought inviting God to blog here might be a nice new feature. Seemed like a nice alternative to HuffPo going to hell. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 9:11 pm If you’re going to break a rib, can I suggest whose? Or should I just pray? » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 9:08 pm Do you think the cow pies are illegal immigrants too? Could be… Hope you’re right about Karma. She’s such a flirt and has often stood me up but I can only hope she has a big date soon with Coburn. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 9:06 pm No, he uses A Dei T.com Oh, and Satan uses Hotmail. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:59 pm I’m sure he won’t mind, it was all made with the white of an egg. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:57 pm I think this article dovetails in nicely with your last two. I think he would be afraid of Superman, truth, justice, the American Way and all that. He would probably do what he and the C Streeters always do, just tell God to get lost. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:53 pm I think what he did will be burned into the minds of reasonable people for a long time. No offense to the good folks in OK but they are apparently outnumbered by the cow pies that keep voting in their political equivalents to public office. I’m not one who believes too much in karma, mainly because I’ve seen bad people keep having good things happen for him (Wall Street anyone?). Though bad behavior does have consequences and the performance of these Repubs in the Senate has been so awful that people voting in 2010 have seen all they need to in order to decide against voting for more of that. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:49 pm God asked me to pass this along to you…BTW, I’m not one of those nuts who thinks God talks to me. God actually Twitters me: Hi 2 Kesmarn! No worries, I won’t B keeping ur soul 4 a very long time! As 4 Repubs, Satan buys their souls in bulk. He calls the GOP his “Costco of Souls”. LOL! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:44 pm Hope you don’t mind that I passed your questions along to God, here’s his reply: I never said ignorance is bliss. Whoever said I did is incredibly blissful. I understand your feelings about those who are the least enlightened believing that they love me the most. The same thing happened to Jerry Lewis in France. The way I see it, their fervor for me is more of an excuse for them to feel justified in venting their anger and resentment at the world. And much of it comes from how helpless and unhappy they feel about their life and how things have turned out for them. Look, I’ve tried to reason with them but they don’t listen. It’s like talking to a wall that smells faintly like a stale cup of Earl Grey. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:38 pm FlyingLotus, my head is bustin’! You are sooooo kind!!! I have forwarded your comment to God and he just responded: My dear FlyingLotus, we both know how gifted you are so no fair topping off your tank. Adlib does use his toes to type, I’d rather not describe why so as not to embarrass him. As for sacrifices, goats are so first millennium. Disagreeable, overly religious or wacky neighbors are acceptable. And we do like to make smores over the sacrificial fires so bring some graham crackers, marshmallows and Hershey bars with your sacrifice. Oh, and Frescas…we sure love Frescas with our smores and human sacrifices. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:27 pm Thanks, my friend! Really, wishing for the death of someone to keep 30 million people from getting health care, isn’t that more movie villain than Senator? “I will pray for the death of your Senator Byrd…unless you give me one MILL-ion dollars!” Or Mr. Burns from the Simpsons smiling, “Pray for his death, Smithers! Exxxx-cellent!” » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 8:12 pm Actually, God mentioned to me that his son is a sucker for baby back ribs. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 7:55 pm Funny, God just emailed me about that: For my son’s b-day I’ve gotten him his favorite, a Fudgy The Whale ice cream cake. We had ordered a Cookie Puss but they got the order wrong and they wrote on it, “Happy Hannukkah, Harry!” » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 7:52 pm I see that God is logged on but his reply went to pending because he used his own name during our brief Salute To The HuffPo Word Filter. Here’s what he replied to you: I had originally toyed around with calling Mr. OK, Dr. Asshat but I knew that true Asshats would feel insulted at being compared to Mr. OK. As for our pot luck, thanks for bringing what you can. Don’t worry about bringing seasonings, we’ll just grate Lot’s Wife. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 7:44 pm Only double negatives. Like, “I pray that bad things don’t happen to them.” Or triple negatives, “I pray that no good things don’t not occur to them.” » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 7:38 pm Happy to hear it, thanks Bernard! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 7:34 pm I’m going to the Hula Bowel to see what shakes out. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 7:31 pm God did mention this in an earlier blog: Some people ask me how I decide to answer the prayers of the players on one team over the other. Actually, I just flip a coin. Also, I don’t bet on games anymore. I learned my lesson after betting The Devil against the Red Sox ever winning the Series again. And the frustrating thing is that I knew they would win…but the odds he gave me were so good! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 7:28 pm Thanks so much! You are absolutely right, that is a Gilliam image from “Holy Grail”. Now, if only I could get my hands on The Holy Hand Grenade! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 6:51 pm And saying, “Me damn it, what is their freaking problem?!” » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 6:41 pm Heh! Thanks FlyingLotus! Your laughter is the best reward! You’re only encouraging me, you realize! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 6:40 pm *blushing* You made my week and the rest of the year, kesmarn, thanks! » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 6:38 pm One observation, if someone was truly principled, they would not be able to condone, either passively or actively, the behavior of someone who powerfully violated their principles. My proposition, they are two unprincipled snakes who have each chosen a side of the game to play on and know it’s just a game. They don’t really care about the issues, they care about the money and power it can bring them. Remember what a lying, unprincipled SOB Carville was in the primaries? That is who he is. And Matalin, what needs to be said about her? Could you imagine kissing the lips of someone you saw as spewing venom? If that’s not reasonable to assume, then one of two things is likely true. Either one isn’t kissing those lips or one does not truly view them as spewing venom. I think it’s the latter. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 6:46 pm choicelady, not trying to be negative, just realistic. The final bill can’t have the Public Option in it for two reasons. First, Congressional rules don’t allow for something not already contained in either house’s bill to be added into it in conference. Second, Lieberman and Nelson will block it for good if it is in the final bill and no bill will be passed. There are a number of other provisions that can be strengthened and revised in the Senate bill, specifically I would like to see the Senate’s taxing citizens on their “Cadillac Helth Plans” and households over $250k dropped in favor of the House’s higher taxes on the very wealthy. » Posted By AdLib On December 21, 2009 @ 2:49 pm The 7 Mountains of Influence In Culture and Why You Should Be Concerned Excellent points and very well said! Like Bernard and you, I have strong feelings about the conservative and extremist religious entities out there who try to hijack the name of an entire their religion from the many good people who practice it. So, one can understand why we can tend to generalize at times about religion. It is important to remind everyone from time to time that these loons don’t speak for all Christians/Jews/Muslims anymore than Bush spoke for all Americans including all of us. Because of this aggressive and hostile ongoing assault on our society and democracy by the extremists who trumpet their cultish version of religion, it can seem at times that all organized religions are or have been coming off the tracks. Your reminder dispels that generalization. Oh, and to add to your list of accomplishments,the civil rights movement championed by a solid segment of the religious community, including the work of the late Rev. Martin Luther King. » Posted By AdLib On December 20, 2009 @ 11:55 pm Wonderful article Sue!!! I think the built in obstacle for these stealth Christians is that the extremist base won’t “get” what they’re doing and reject them for not being extreme enough. We can think back to Pat Buchanan’s presidential run and his declaration of the Culture Wars though we can go back to Newt and even Back to Reagan to see it going on then too. It is an eternal war, between those who want what is in essence an America that is a theocracy and those corporations who want to maintain the current plutocracy and the majority who want a return to a true democracy. Questinia nailed it (again), one of their fatal flaws is that they can’t control science, they can try to repress it as Bush & Co. did but it can’t be held down for long. And another area is the arts. Okay, they’ve got Christian Rock and Chuck Norris but creativity is necessarily something where the open mind succeeds best. Being an extremist in a religion makes one self censor creativity and disconnect from relating to others who don’t share their beliefs. Thus, a disconnect from the sensibilities of the public at large. Plus, the most talented artists and creative people have free and “liberal” minds, it’s not accidental that those in the arts are mostly liberal. However, just to be clear, many have sincere religious and spiritual beliefs, they are not mutually exclusive. Being a narrow-minded extremist though is typically mutually exclusive with being open to good and broadly attractive creative work. » Posted By AdLib On December 20, 2009 @ 11:38 pm Senate Reaches Health Care Reform Agreement First, welcome to The Planet, nottoolate! Having the reputation of being impartial, the CBO does get immediate and absolute respect from both Dems and Reupbs. However, the track record of their conclusions is not great. As for the “hate the non-whites” provisions, that’s more of the ugliness that comes from the Blue Dogs who pander to the ignorant and racist conservatives they represent, a big part of their constituency. We should spay or neuter every Blue Dog Dem so they can’t multiply. » Posted By AdLib On December 20, 2009 @ 12:18 pmComments Posted By AdLib
