Missouri- Say no to medical progress. Vote against stem cell research. Reproducibility of results has ensured that chemistry and physics are off-limits to Christians. Ergo, they're now pursuing the sole vestige of science available to them- biology. Why? Because it's technically impossible to disprove the existence of God. And if it's impossible to disprove the existence of God, then it's possible that we are sinning against Him. You see, embryonic stem cells are apparently indistinguishable from human life.

I've been following the Lamont-Leiberman pre-selection battle. After reading hundreds of articles and watching hours of debate, I think that I finally understand the consideration that voters have to make: Lieberman is old and lamont is spunky.

A curious letter appeared in the local newspaper this Friday. It read: "China is building coal fired power plants at the rate of 5 per week. Somebody should tell the Chinese government that they're not the only people on the planet." I say- Let Them Eat Cake!

Controversial Mufti and pariah, Sheikh al-Hilaly observed a fortnight ago: "If a woman sits in her room, in her house, in her hijab- she will not be raped. If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cat's or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem.” Allow me to paraphrase: If you let a rabid dog into your home and he bites you, whose fault is that, the dog's or yours?

Human rights lawyers are challenging the legality of Madonna’s adoption. What the fuck? You'd think that human rights lawyers would support Madonna’s decision. No, apparently it's better to relegate the child to the poverty stricken malaria-infested hell hole.

Two years ago, singing MILFS- the Dixie Chicks- declared that they were embarrassed that Bush was a Texan. They caused mass outrage and were threatened, vilified and slandered. Now, Kerry comes out and asserts that US soldiers are uneducated and there is relative calm.

Abortion is a contentious issues. Australia conditionally legalised abortion as a means to minimise the harm caused by illegal backyard surgeries. Presently euthanasia is illegal on the premise of religious dogma and as a consequences thousands of people are needlessly yearning to die as a means of ending their suffering. Perhaps if a few of those people decided to take their own lives the government might get the message.

Why is it racist to question the tenets of Islam but acceptable to justify 9/11 as "a legitimate response to American aggression?"

How can Israel claim to be a victim of Arab terrorism when it persistently and deliberately restrains itself from fully satisfying its military objectives?

Are the French blind to the demographic transition in their country, or do they welcome it?

Why is it easier to blame America for all the world's problems than to accept responsibility and face reality?

How is Mel Gibson not anti-Semitic? Consider his Goebbels style rant in the context of: his fundamentalist beliefs, his father's overt anti-Semitism and the Passion Play that he produced to renew the bullshit notion that Jews are somehow responsible for Jesus' death.

If Jesus was alive in the 1940s he would have been gassed in Auschwitz.
