What do we have to do to purge this Bush nonsense from the system?

Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found.

And who uses these high-powered sights?

The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.

Hi!  We’re from the US, and we’re here to help, but your religion sucks!

Religion will be the death of all of us, and not just one religion – all of them.

The state of Texas, not content with nearly destroying the world when it sent us W, now wants to make our children stupid:

The conservative bloc on the Texas State Board of Education won a string of victories Friday, obtaining approval for an amendment requiring high school U.S. history students to know about Phyllis Schlafly and the Contract with America as well as inserting a clause that aims to justify McCarthyism.

Outspoken conservative board member Don McLeroy, who reportedly spent over three hours personally proposing changes to the textbook standards, even wanted to cut “hip-hop” in favor of “country” in a section about the impact of cultural movements. That amendment failed.

And because Texas is such a large state, the textbooks used there often make their way into the rest of the nation’s schools.

Let me be frank – Sanjay Gupta annoys me.  He doesn’t annoy me like Ali Velshi does (listen to the book review) – that’s a different level of hell – but Sanjay gets on my nerves.  But let me tell you something – this took some serious balls:

(NEWSER) – As fears of rioting and looting mount in a desperate Haiti, UN doctors and nurses at a Port-au-Prince field hospital were ordered to evacuate last night, leaving CNN’s Sanjay Gupta and his camera crew to hold vigil over 25 earthquake victims. Gupta monitored the patients and stabilized some new arrivals in critical condition, but with no electricity or supplies, he said he could do little to treat them. The Belgian doctors, who had not wanted to leave their patients, returned this morning to relieve Gupta, who was pleased to report that no one died on his watch.

I’d like to shake that man’s hand.
