Number of the Day

Zero: The number of shits I give about what church any presidential candidate attends or does not attend.

Obviously, I am interested in their religious views, if and when those religious views intersect with their policy positions, but, beyond that, who cares.

It really doesn't tell us anything that Michele Bachmann is/was a Lutheran, even a Wisconsin Synod Lutheran.

I was raised a Lutheran, a Missouri Synod Lutheran, which is only slightly less conservative than the Wisconsin Synod, and, even though the god-belief didn't really stick, I still believe a lot of the stuff I learned there, like "Treat people the way you want to be treated," a message that doesn't seem to mean much to Rep. Bachmann.

I'm not even the only contributor here who was raised Lutheran and is still very culturally Lutheran in a lot of ways. See also: Eastsidekate and PortlyDyke.

So. Yeah.

What matters isn't what Lutheran church Bachmann does or doesn't attend, in determining her beliefs. People believe what they want to believe, irrespective of what their church doctrine is. Bachmann's behavior and policy positions inform us what her beliefs are.

Garbage.

Blogger Jailed Over Bad Beef Noodle Review:

We’ve heard of restaurateurs having hissy fits over bad Yelp reviews and even kicking out newspaper reviewers, but jailing a blogger over a bad review? That would be insane… or would it? A Taiwanese blogger was recently sentenced to 30 days in detention, two years of probation and ordered her to pay NT$200,000 in compensation to a Taichung noodle shop she criticized on her blog. what did she say that was so awful?

5 more days till Taiwan.

Hoax - Attack on Earth in Feb 2011

There are predictions that in the month of february 2011 aliens will attack the earth. Well well well. My questions is to nasa, usa, uk , china and many other super power nations scientists and physicists that if this is the case then they should have attacked us a long time back. i mean they are so superior than us. more advance than us. i am sure we live in stone age if compared to them. then why they have to wait.

i guess its a big hoax like many other things. like y2k bug was a hoax as nothing happened to computers. so i am sure this attack thing is also a hoax.

Nothing is going to happen. Just chill.
