A Secession of One

I’m done blogging. I’ve been offline for a couple weeks, will probably be off another month, and am moving on. If you want occasional updates, my “twitter feed” is at the base url. I hardly post there, don’t expect much.

I will part with the following points:

The bible is the infalible word of God. If was not written by men, monarchs, or royalty. It was handed to man by God and as God’s hand played a role in everything, it has never been wrong.

You cannot compare shaving to homosexuality. There is a huge difference between cultural norms mentioned in The Bible, and things explicitly called sinful abominations. If you think swearing at your parents isn’t a sin, and is an acceptable practice, I’m wasting my breath trying to convince you of something you’re too simple-minded to understand.

Homosexuality is a sin. If you have a true belief in God, you will know that. Otherwise you’re lying to yourself and are a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

No, I did not spell check this. Goodbye.

I listen to Glenn Beck four hours a day. I listen to his show online from 10-1, then watch his Fox show 4-5. (In between I listen to Rush on 1040, and before that I listen to Jan Mikelson on 1040 to ensure my daily eight hours of conservative education. Har.)

Anyway, Glenn’s been spending a lot of time on this whole Marcus Littrel thing. The guy was a Navy SEAL almost killed in Afghanistan, and was given a dog during his recuperation. I won’t go into the sappy details, but it is a bit heart-touching. This guy caught a couple teenage douches killing his dog. Glenn is friends with the guy, so he’s been spending a lot of radio and TV time focusing on the case. Seems to me like there’s more important things to talk about, but what do I know.

Anyway, on last night’s TV show, Glenn said that anyone who kills an animal needs to be locked up because there’s something wrong with them. This struck me as an odd thing for someone with his other opinoins to be saying, but I assumed he meant killing an animal for fun.

Wrong! On today’s radio show, he said that he hates hunters. He said hunting isn’t a sport and that anyone who kills animals is wrong. He said he’d have Ted Nugent on to debate it… good luck with that.

Well, someone who thinks that would have to be a vegetarian, right? Nope! He admits to eating meat and wearing leather.

Add another one to the hypocryte file. I really liked him too. Dangit.

Fat women can’t find good work.

Weight discrimination appears to add to the glass ceiling effect for women, finds a new study co-authored by a Michigan State University scholar.

Overweight and obese women are significantly underrepresented among the top CEOs in the United States, according to the research, which appears in the British journal Equal Opportunities International. However, while obese men were also underrepresented, overweight men were actually overrepresented among top CEOs.

The different results for women and men suggest weight bias may contribute to the glass ceiling on the advancement of women to the top levels of management, said Mark Roehling, MSU associate professor of human resource management.

“The results suggest that while being obese limits the career opportunities of both women and men, being ‘merely overweight’ harms only female executives – and may actually benefit male executives,” he said. “This pattern of findings is consistent with previous research indicating that, at least among white Americans, there is a tendency to hold women to harsher weight standards.”

It’s not like weight is a lifestyle choice or anything.

Governor Culver, Mister “I was against gay marriage before I was for it”, has released a new tourism brochure for Iowa. Here’s a snippet.

Greetings! Welcome to Iowa, the Midwest’s most progressive state. From far and wide, people look to us as a leader in moral and civic virtue.

Be sure to come to the 80/35 festival this summer! Nothing is more fun than a music festival named after the junction of two interstates!

This year’s headlining act is Public Enemy, the nation’s most well-known “hip-hop” act. Bring the children out for this one, parent/guardian one and parent/guardian two!

While you’re in Des Moines, feel free to stop by the state capitol building. We always welcome new faces with friendly smiles.

We’ve got more than corn and cows in Iowa! We’re a leader in modern American virtue and public relations. Come to Iowa and have a gay ol’ time!

Read it for yourself.
