1. Found this terrifying quote here:
"No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God."
-George H.W. Bush, 41st president of the United States
I'm sure everyone else and their brother has seen this, but I'd managed to remain blissfully ignorant until now.
2. A somewhat legitimate discussion of Word Hate.
3. If I led a parallel life, it'd likely involve working here.
4. I'm strangely comforted knowing this organization exists. Maybe because they can be kept track of more easily this way.
5. At times incensed over what he described as long-winded theological speeches given by a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, U.S. District Judge Richard Bennett nonetheless dismissed two of the five counts against the church and three of its leaders, saying in part that their statements, no matter how incendiary, amounted to protected speech.
Sad.
