President Obama, who campaigned with the heady pledge, “Yes, We Can!” has firmly stated “No, We Can’t” when it comes to using the executive office to correct injustice. A posthumous pardon of boxing’s first black heavyweight champion can’t be done because – as The Los Angeles Times puts it: [Posthumous pardons] consume precious time and resources [...] If you’re like me, you learned a great deal of music appreciation from watching Warner Brothers cartoons. (Carl Stalling was a genius!). One of Warner Brothers’ best – IMO – musical cartoons was the 1957 Friz Freleng Looney Tune, Three Little Bops:
Here it is in Eye-talian:
If that’s not enough, here it is in [...] A sort of follow-up to this post, the deliciously stalk-worthy ZOMGItsCriss takes on the issue of Christian Side Hugs and delivers a rap of her own.
This video has been making the rounds as of late: a group of Youth Pastors at some Jesus Camp-type gathering warning about the evils of “front hugging”. Seriously.

In fact, sometimes it’s a little bit frightening to realize I’m surrounded by people just smart enough to be aware that religious [...] When I was kid, Chick Tracts were pretty common. It would seem that over the years, the missionary crowd has realized that “Jesus comic books” aren’t exactly the most effective way of carrying out The Great Commission, because I haven’t seen an actual hard copy version of a Chick Tract in years (although I hear [...] The other night, this question was posted to Yahoo Answers: Why do people say its creepy when christian hand out bible tracks? When Non christians force everyone to read about big bang in schools books? My answer: Yeah, those evil non-Christians force the poor Christians to read about godless arithmetic and grammar, too. Oh, the horror! Have you ever read [...] Dallin H.
