The best-known example happens every year in the farming village of San Pedro Cutud, Philippines, and is described in its wikipedia article, San Pedro Cutud Lenten Rites. Every year, at least 3 penitents are chosen to be nailed to a cross and left hanging there about 10 minutes, or until they...

Pregnant men? Government-funded aborsh would be a thing in, maybe, half a fetal heartbeat. There'd be chains that did abortions: Fetus Deletus, Abo-Bo Planet, Jiffy Scrape, and Sam's Club (in the car repair bays; half price with a tire rotation.) But seriously, someone's been drinkin' too...

Forget the faith perspective. Try the marketing perspective on dueling afterlives. Jannah (the Muslim Heaven) The saved will have 'whatever they want, forever.' Features: gardens with fountains and two kinds of every fruit, all fruit within reach. All believers on green cushions and splendid...

Me, I gotta respect Melania for choosing cyber-bullying as her First Lady Cause, in Trump I. She made her mark, just sayin'.

Women for Trump -- I know a few, including one gal who marches around in a 'Yes, I'm voting for the convicted felon' tee in our town -- are clearly hearing this differently from me. But I have to wonder, when they hear his protector riff, if they aren't hearing him say, all the dark-skinned...

If they weren't confident that Trump will win, beyond any doubt (or scruple) they might reflect that SCOTUS will have made the President an Empress, if Kamala wins. Isn't it strange that, in 240 years as a Constitutional republic we never, until the Days of Trump, needed this extra set of rights...

There's more! There's more! Trump addressed the American Woman again, last night, in Indiana, Pennsylvania (JImmy Stewart's hometown.) In a message infused with deep love for womankind, Trump told women that -- well, let me shut up and let this man speak for himself. " Because I am your...

True. The term dates from the mid-17th century. It referred to a boy who was educated with a young prince or other royal and punished instead of him.

They will get crazier and more extreme as the demographic shift proceeds. In about 18 to 20 years, it's projected that there will be no ethnic majority in the U.S. We'll be what's been called a "majority minority country" --although that's an awkward way to express it, IMO. Anyway, there will...

Umm...yeah. H. L. Mencken described it as flapping wings for eternity with the neighborhood green grocer, but it's so much worse than that. Unless you grew up on Walton's Mountain, you probably have a buttload of relatives you'd rather not have to spend time with. If you're like me, quite a...

Evidently he took stock of the gender gap he's facing (a 20% deficit when matched with Harris, in some polls.) He got busy over the weekend. There was a Truth Social post on Friday, followed by what he told a crowd in NC the next day: "So let's talk about our great women, all right? 'Cause...

Double yup. I will never get over how asinine he is, how obvious he is as a dope and a con man. I heard him for the first time back in '11, going on about birtherism, and I knew in about 20, 30 seconds, that I was looking at a shameless liar and demagogue.

Same here, although, honestly, I've never read an author who built a case either way. Adam and Eve certainly reads like a story. If you leave out the creation story, there are bushels of stories in the Bible that are constructed like folk tales -- Samson and the foxes, Jesus and the 2000 hogs...

I had to google this to believe it. As usual when Trumpy is high on the quackdoodle, he gives no details. Apparently he has a concept of a plan for Califormia's water. Hijacking the Columbia River, I guess. Sort of like when, in '16, he told us "...we're gonna get rid of Obamacare and...

So, you're saying God did not let Moses see his butt, in Exodus 33? Well, there goes Western civilization.

While you two squabble about time stamps, GEESE are being killed and eaten in Ohio.

The Gulf Stream, Winslow Homer (1899) - probably overly familiar, but necessary,

Any of Gerald Murphy's works, although he only painted for 8 years, completing 14 canvases, of which 6 are lost (!) Very pop-oriented, with hints of cubism.

Say HEY, say HO, Donald Trump has got to go! (with your friends) Gimme an F! (F!!!) etc.... What's that spell? FUCK TRUMP!! What's that spell? FUCK TRUMP!! Yo mama told me, when I seen her, Donald Trump has a tiny wiener! (indicate with thumb and index finger an inch apart.)

He's a trip. Idi Amin with cornbread. If I followed the reporting correctly, they just ran out the deadline to boot him off the ballot. He may turn out to be more than just the 9000th footnote in the history of the '24 election.
