America: Most Greatest Nation

Happy Fourth of July

Creation Museum

The guy at the coffee shop was wearing a Creation Museum ball cap this morning. I don't know if adults who believe in creationism actually believe in creationism or if has more to do with identity and defiance.

"The Onion Movie"

I wonder what The Onion AV Club reviewers would say about "The Onion Movie" if they were allowed to write about it. I'm guessing they'd slam it pretty hard for being a steaming pile of poo.

Was Jesus the Smartest Person Who Ever Lived?

And if He was (and, for the doubters out there, I think I could strike up a pretty sound argument on behalf of the idea that - by definition - the son of God had to [and has to] rank right up there with the best of the best of the brightest), then is it reasonable to assume that he knew about gravity but didn't tell anyone? What kind of a dick move is that? Or that he knew that the Earth revolved around the sun but was like, "aw, I'll let 'em figure it out in a few thousands years, let a few people die trying to prove it, no skin off my back."

I mean, if you think about, here's a guy who performed miracles (e.g. turning water into wine) which clearly involved a pretty advanced understanding of chemistry and physics - advanced and unknowable even in this day and age. Yet he didn't even take the time to tell people about proper hygiene or simple mathematics that would have greatly improved and extended the lives of the people that he "died" in order to save.

Jesus, bro. No love for science. Disappointing.

CORY BOOKER DEMOCRAT

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a pretty big Obama supporter. Mostly out of animosity for the Clintons and all Republicans, but somewhat because I genuinely like the guy and think he's got his head screwed on straight.

But if you want to know who I think is the most intelligent, inspiring, and incredible politician in America, there is no question that it is Cory Booker. If you haven't seen the Oscar-nominated documentary Street Fight, do so.

An if you haven't watched the most recent Bill Moyers Journal in which Cory Booker is interviewed, do so.

Cory Booker is just a damn inspiration. I am officially a Booker Democrat.
