To make a long story short, I once got assigned to cater a volunteer party out of the otherwise discardable leftovers from the rentier crowd.Once that was done I swore I'd never eat slave food again. [...]

Prison for Atheist Posting

post from They gave us a republic... - Front Page on 17 June 2012 06:00:00 AM. © They gave us a republic... - Front Page

By @KYYellowDog

Find a repug - just one - who thinks this is something America should avoid doing.

PZ Myers:

Atheist Alliance International is condemning the jail sentence for Alexander Aan. Aan is the Indonesian man who wrote "god does not exist" on a facebook page, and has now been sentenced to 2½ years in prison for blasphemy. I'm mentally adding up the number of years I'd get for Pharyngula...I'm just relieved I'm not posting from Indonesia.
The whole ruling is confused and inconsistent, but that's what religion does to you. Here's an interview with a newspaper editor that's also confusing: he can't come out and say that there's a problem with this decision, and I can't tell whether it's because he agrees with it or he's afraid to say. The comment about the problem being that they are extending tolerance to intolerant groups (the Muslims) suggests that maybe he is seeing the problem, but is being cautious in expressing it.
The Indonesian constitution mandates freedom of religion, but requires everyone to have a religion. Right. They have a little discussion about Indonesia's reputation as a tolerant place...I'm sorry, I don't see it. If they ever had such a reputation, it's gone now.

Note that the crime here is not worshipping the wrong invisible sky wizard; it's denying the existence of any sky wizard. This man is going to prison for expressing facts and rational thinking. And it's happening in a pluralistic, modern nation that prides itself on "religious freedom."

Because to the freakazoids, there is no such thing as the freedom to not be religious.

America The Stupid, Part 2

post from Manifesto Joe's Texas Blues on 17 June 2012 03:01:56 AM. © Manifesto Joe's Texas Blues

I can't say that I've always agreed with everything I've ever heard come out of Gore Vidal's mouth, or with everything that he's written. But, sadly, I think he's got the American people pegged quite well. This is a 2008 interview with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman:

The past 12 years have done more to convince me of an epidemic of American stupidity than all of the previous 44 years I've been alive. Is it something in the water? -- mj

Postscript: The secondary videos are good, too. Look for the interview he did with Joy Behar, apparently around 2010.
