two days...

... two frickin' days i don't touch LJ and i'm backed up to skip=380.  Who are you fuckin' people?  Don't you ever shut the fuck up?  Seriously!

Two Crooks and Liars links: Jon Stewart trades punches with Christopher Hitchens and wins in a close but unanimous decision, and Dick Cheney talks about the very likely possibility of Iraq turning into a quagmire... in 1991.  Next time, take your own fuckin' advice, Dick, you fucking reject.

This made my brain hurt very much:

... this week's Time reports on "Christian yoga," a "fast-growing movement that seeks to retool the 5,000-year-old practice of yoga to fit Christ's teachings" such as by renaming the "sun salutation, a series of poses honoring the Hindu sun god ... the 'Son' salutation."

Dude, you have too many friends. Time to have a party and poison them all.

Some of us aren't very cooperative about visiting, though.

And here I've been thinking how refreshingly quiet it's been with everyone off at Burning Man this week.

That's what i'd hoped, too. No such luck.

LOL, yay for Christian yoga.

It's funny: when I tell my Christian friends that I do yoga, their usual reaction consists of, "Isn't there all this weird spiritual garbage invovled?" They know nothing about it...but it must be "garbage," and totally incompatible with Christ, since it comes from God-forsaken India and all.

"One man's garbage is another man's treasure," n'est-ce pas?

I saw the Hitchens interview and I didn't perceive it as Hitchens having his ass handed to him. Though I largely disagree with the direction Hitchens has headed in the last few years, I think he's a very intelligent man, and I think when Stewart has an intelligent foil, it helps him focus his own arguments. It was beautiful, though.

Well, he did score a solid punch in the mouth responding to Hitchens's "sunshine" crack. But you're right, and i've amended my assessment above.

I still consider Stewart's horrible Kerry interview as a brutally missed opportunity.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the Kerry interview. It's been a long time since I've seen so damn many softball questions. I expected better of Stewart.
