Seems like forever, but I've been busy. I found an interesting tidbit today, a quote from a newspaper article, reprinting some dialogue from a Meet The Press interview.

Mr. Bush's National Security Adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, said in an interview on "Meet the Press" on NBC that the White House has sufficient money under its control to deploy the troops as planned, and he suggested that once the troops are in place, Congress would be reluctant to cut off funding.


"I think once they get in harm's way, Congress's tradition is to support those troops," Mr. Hadley said.

The blogger found this really despicable. It is, but it is possible this is his own rationalization. It is also possible he was repeating something he heard, and was too stupid to know it's not something that should be repeated in public. Who knows.

Like I said, it's been a while, been busy working on the computer classes I've been taking. Still reading the atheist forum when I get a chance, but just like the others, it gets old fast, because it's the same shit repeated countless times. They stroke themselves shamelessly... There was a post explaining how one of the regulars got 'published', one of her articles was posted in the opinion section of an obscure news source. There was gushing all around, and then she couldn't shut up about it, had to bring it up in other replies to threads completely unrelated. They also inevitably bash the theists that come in trying to save them. That got old after just a few of those, and the theists post several times a day.

I pissed a lot of them off with my post, it was the weak minded theists comments. Some of them were downright nasty. They couldn't get too nasty, because they all feel the same way. I posted that, and I believe it. What I didn't say was that people in general are weak minded, myself included, and religion is one of the ways it manifests itself to the outside world. There are others ways, people that are simply lazy. It was hard to put into words, but I just used myself as an example, or thought of how I am while trying to correlate it to theists in particular. I probably could have worded it it better, but I didn't clarify in the forum, there really seems no point. Most everyone there has their preconceived notions, as I do, and it's hard to change them no matter what they believe.

I also watched a video on the net of a reality show called 30 days. This particular episode followed an atheist living with a christian family. Interesting. I reallly must get ready for work....
