Terrorist Christians Endanger America’s Youth

We’re announcing a new campaign to protest Christians building their Citadels of Sin on American soil:

Two young men in Georgia said Tuesday that the pastor of a 33,000-person Baptist megachurch, Bishop Eddie L. Long, had repeatedly coerced them into having sex with him.

In two lawsuits filed in DeKalb County, the men said that Bishop Long, a prominent minister and television personality, had used his position as a spiritual counselor to take them on trips out of state and perform sexual acts on them.

Bishop Long is the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, an Atlanta suburb. It is one of the largest churches in the country.

Bishop Long — no, really, that’s his name! — denies the accusations. But since 1987, his Terror Church has grown from 300 to 25,000 potential child molesters. Can we allow these Merchants of Mayhem to infiltrate our nation and subvert our values?

Guy drives a $325,000 Bentley… just like Jesus did.

BREAKING HARD: Florida appeals court holds ban on gay adoption unconstitutional. This would be the case in which the “researcher” with the heavy baggage that requires a Hot Ghey Man to carry it around Europe testified that gay adoption was teh evil. Woot!

In a related story which I meant to post here but didn’t get around to it, yesterday the head of the Florida Department of Children and Families had said that if the court had ruled in favor of the ban, DCF would not remove the two children at issue in the case from the home of their adoptive fathers. (Seeing as how the children were already legally adopted thanks to the lower trial court’s decision, unclear what the hell the basis would be for removing them).

since this a thread about assholes, wish me luck. this time tomorrow I will be getting a coaxial cable shoved up my butt.
time for the tri-annual, family history dictated, colonoscopy.

woo hoo.

have to remember to pack the amyl.

(that was a psa. I hope everyone here of a certain age is doing this regularly)

@SanFranLefty:

So now it just goes to the full court, then the Florida Supreme Court, then back to the lower court, then to the US Supreme Court and then! maybe Florida will stop enforcing the ban (by 2074?).

@Benedick Arnuldsson Manpants:

I have been keeping my co workers in line by threatening to put them up on the wall if unless they are really nice to me.

the prep has gotten less horrible since the last time. no gallon of nasty stuff.
I will be starting that very soon.

wow

‘Wachowski Siblings Gay Iraq War Romance.’

There’s the possibility of semi-graphic sex between the two, with them dressed in burqas in one scene, and there’s quite a bit of drama as their lives start to intertwine. But then “disaster strikes” the Iraqi’s family’s ancestral home, and the two men decide they have to rid the world of militant evil. To do this, they decide they have to assassinate George W. Bush.

Speaking of assholes (sorry Howdy):

Obtuse Angle explains how she raises millions from conservative media appearances

Question for the legal minds here: if the primary purpose of her appearance on a program is shilling for $$$, doesn’t that make it an in-kind donation of advertising time from the media outlet? I’d hope that that would be against the FEC rules…

@Capt Howdy: Been there twice. My condolences but, as you point out, men Of A Certain Age need to get this done every 10 years or, if you have risk factors (like I do), every 5. Prep tip: use Vaseline liberally to avoid irritation.

@Capt Howdy:

That is fap-worthy right there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that paragraph at all. Everything I could possibly want, all wrapped up into one little collection of words.

@Benedick Arnuldsson Manpants: When you’re staring at the boxes of “Clean Out” liquid, doesn’t it seem like those 3 years have gone by quickly?

@Dodgerblue:

Dodger, just fyi, you should never use Vaseline as a lubricant there. Stop by Weho and get some Gun Oil at Unicorn Alley.

@Plop-Plop, Fizz-Fizz, Tommmcatt A Relief He Is!: With Vitamin E and aloe vera! I feel healthier just reading about it.

Not quite there for the intimate portrait. Prolly be there at some point.

BTW, anyone else see that Vick is starting for the Eagles on Sunday?

@Dodgerblue: Playing too well to ride the pine, people say.

@Dodgerblue: Better than the alternative. As the bishop said to the actress.

@¡Andrew!: Well since Charlie Crist has come out of the closet (so to speak) in support of ghey rights since the litigation originally began, it’s entirely possible he could order the state AG and DCF to not appeal, a la Governator/Moonbeam failing to defend Prop H8.

@Capt Howdy: good luck. My favorite part of being uninsured is no unpleasant tests.

@redmanlaw:

I asked for one because colon cancer runs in my family. Kaiser told me to fuck off.

@Mistress Cynica: My favorite part of being insured but never going to the doctor is that I don’t know what ails me until it kills me.

Because I’m ambivalent about whether meeting the future is a net win.

Meanwhile, I can bask in liberal smug about how I provide health care dollars to those less privileged. It’s a win-win situation.

@PedonatorUSA: I don’t say that against anyone who has a real health problem and needs medical attention. I’m for the single-payer plan, etc. And if you can get medical care that helps you, that’s great.

I just don’t trust the medical-industrial complex to keep me alive. I don’t trust myself to keep me alive either, but mortality is something I expect as a consequence of living my life.

Yes, I’ll fight it, but I don’t want the insurance company “death panels” to waste my end-days with wars of bureaucracy.

I’d rather just have it spelled out, what services I can expect as a consequence of my tax-paying, and what I cannot.
