Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer but only evangelical Christians can lead prayer sessions so if you’re not one of those, forget it. You’re not welcome. And we have a problem with Muslims?

I am so not linking their store. Commercializing it cheapens it. Being exclusive cheapens it too IMHO. I am thankful that on the net, in Yahoo Groups even, when there is a need, people pray for each other, give to each other, support each other. Doesn’t matter the religion. What matters is what’s in one’s heart. Good people come in all religions and the world is far richer for them. Prayer should not be exclusive, kindof kills the reason for having said National Day of Prayer.

I have noticed great good, people reaching out to help each other irregardless of religion. Look at the Spirit of America, bloggers got together to raise money to bring freedom to Iraq. Then there’s Chief Wiggles with his toy drive for the Iraqi children. They don’t give only to evangelical Christians. They’re giving to Muslims.

There is a big difference between evangelical Christians and Muslims. In the case of Muslims, most live under governments which enforce their beliefs, denying all others. In the case of evangelical Christions, there are many that wish it were so here. I wonder what they will be praying for.

Who abused the Vietnamese and admitted it? Who violated the Geneva Convention? Who sold his fellow soldiers out to the Communists? Who was a major factor in our abandoning the POW’s in Vietnam?

John F. Kerry, that’s who.

If you don’t think Kerry, with his prodigious experience in torture, would be the best choice to solve the situation in Iraq, consider volunteering and/or donating to the Bush campaign. I have. (more…)

Mad Bill asked what would solve the problem the U.S. has with the Arab world. It’s obvious, one thing and one thing only - global thermonuclear war.

That’s what it’s going to come down to in the end unless… (more…)

Now they’re talking about making men extinct (FoxNews), using two eggs to create babies. I don’t think so.

“…men are that they might have joy.”

And for that you need men. Men and women, together.

Ah, here’s a link, not Fox cause they are slow updating their website. :D

Went shopping finally, tried to go out earlier but the battery was dead and I had to recharge before going.

The iPod battery.

Yeah, can’t go anywhere without my music. So, I finally get out and it’s roasting. Sure it’s only 97 out but it’s probably a few degrees hotter in the car.

So what was worth going out in the heat? Kitty litter, lots and lots of kitty litter.

Thoughts around the blogosphere regarding prison torture, seems I can’t get away from it.

Wildweasel doesn’t see it as that bad, not much worse than frat house goings on. Whether or not they deserve punishment is not the issue, the type of punishment is. I’m of the belief incarceration is punishment enough.

Evangelical Outpost reminds us the conditions in our own prisons aren’t so hot either. Prison rape is rampant. However, in Arizona, they separate the child molesters from the general population so they won’t get raped. The offenders no one really minds getting it in the end, don’t. Case of punishment fitting the criime.

Lest we forget, there are other places people commit torture aside from prisons. Frat houses for example, ie hazing can be as grisly as anything in Abu Ghraib. Then there’s rape, occurs everywhere, beatings gay folk, also occurs everywhere. I could go on, suffice it to say, although we don’t strap on bomb belts and blow ourselves up like the Palis or commit the legendary acts of Uday and Qusay, we’re every bit as violent and inhumane. Just express it differently.

Heh, even Rob spouts off on the abuse, makes a point. Now piling them up and taking photos is more reminiscent of a frat party, still disgusting. Real torture hurts people, really hurts, like beating them senseless, smashing their face in, brutally raping them, that’s torture.

Not to be forgotton, Jey weighs in with the Instaf*ck. I think Glenn’s wife might have issues with him doing that to/with anyone else. I’ll leave you to surf Jay’s links.

Irregardless of how one feels about the imprisoned Iraqis, don’t know what crimes they committed, it would behoove us to treat them humanely if only for common decency and good pr.

Update: And then I found this which says it all.

Better late than never, another fun filled snark hunt. Gotta check out all the snark.

Don’t expect me to be useful today.

Got snark.

Pet Pourri and my kitties are in it, go see. And all my cats are in it, all eight of them. Note, way more cats in the pic. Cats rule.

Yeah, I’m slow - what I get for working…

And updating. Got many blogs to visit and may even get to a few today.

Noticed I’ve been posting cat posts. It’s like this, after seeing all those horrific pics of those Iraqi prisoners being humiliated, wanted something a little nicer, more upbeat than this from WND.

“We’ve got humiliation tactics as interrogators, and to some extent you can use nudity to start breaking people down,” said one intelligence official who asked not to be identified.

“However, Gen. Sanchez had banned those types of approaches last year,” he added, “so those were never officially sanctioned for any interrogator in theater.”

Several military police are under criminal investigation for abusing detainees at the Abu Ghraib Confinement Facility near Baghdad. Alleged abuses include: arranging naked male detainees in a pile and then jumping on them; forcing groups of naked male detainees to masturbate themselves while being photographed and videotaped; and sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick.

MPs are typically not trained to conduct interrogations. Their main job at such facilities is to escort prisoners and guard interrogators.

Makes me ill. Banned last year, obviously they knew it was going on quite some time ago. Sides which, who in their right mind would pose like a smiling idiot incriminating themselves? Not only were they cruel and inhumane, they were effing stupid. Somebody should sodomize them with a broom stick and see how they like it. Reflects bad on the all the military and can only serve to reinforce the beliefs of all those that hate the U.S.. That be the Arab world, the Europeans, Canadians, and just about everyone else. Doesn’t matter that Saddam was even more brutal. Point is, we were too.

And that’s why I wanted a nice kitty filled day, no horrid news.
