Religulous: Your God

What a godsend!

Says Richard Dawkins, author of “The God Delusion“:

“Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride – automatic tax breaks, unearned respect and the right not to be offended, the right to brainwash children. Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side. This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think – and thinking is anathema to religion.”

Amen.

Music Box: Sistah Is Doing It For Herself!

My friend Jim sent this to me with the subject line ‘GASP’.  Indeed.  Not sure if this is fascinatingly scary, as I replied to him, or scarily fascinating (there is a difference, after all).  In any case, ya gotta admire his, er, flexibility, mimicry and talent.  Yeah, talent.

And Beyonce got nothin’ on her.  Sistas are doing it for themselves!!

Music Box: Presidential Debate (Nashville Edition)

I know it appears that, seemingly, My New Boyfriend is morphing from a momentary place for hilarity and levity to a political ranting pit stop.  My apologies, but I can’t deter my passions sometimes.  So, to even things out, here’s a juxtaposition of both.

Here, in 3 minutes, is last night’s Nashville Presidential debate/song and dance.  Usually, when asked “So, who won the debate?” my answer is “Whoever you’re voting for”.  Last nights victor was this brilliant young man from New York named Michael.  You need to spelunk his YouTube page for other strokes of genius.  Check it out here ~  SCHMOYOHO

Enjoy.  And one last thing ~ I dare you to just try to STOP humming “Who’s gonna work it out, baby, who’s gonna work it out…” It won’t work.   Oh, and if you wanna to sing along (and you will), he has the lyrics on his YouTube page~
