The Morning News

posted by on November 24 at 9:00 AM

Poisoned Russian Spy Dies: When do we start being afraid of the Kremlin again?

How About Now? Russia sends rockets, nuke experts to Tehran.

Good Morning, Iraq! More than 200 died in yesterday’s coordinated bombings, worshipers burned alive in reprisal killing, powerful cleric threatens to boycott and bring down Iraq’s government if Iraq’s Prime Minister meets our Dear Leader.

Why Can’t It Happen Here? UK to jack up taxes on gas guzzling SUVs, known in London as “Chelsea tractors.”

Are Mormons Christians? Andrew Sullivan delivers a kick at that old hornet’s nest.

This Black Friday Bullshit? I don’t know anyone who rushes out to shop the day after Thanksgiving—do you? Shopping is unpleasant enough the rest of the year, why do any the day people can get on the news for punching you on the way to the $25 DVD players?

This Matters to Me, So No Making Fun: Betty Comden, famed Broadway lyricist (On the Town, Wonderful Town, Singing in the Rain), dies in New York, New York, that hell of a town.

Tradition, Tradition! It wouldn’t really be Thanksgiving if a family dispute didn’t end in gunfire, deaths.

Going Out With a Bang: It’s the latest thing in suicide bombers—exploding grandmothers.

Missing: Bellingham soldier survives a year in Iraq, goes missing after a night in Tennessee.

I don't know anyone who's masochistic enough to go to the mall today either. Are people unaware that sales happen during other times of the year? Or that you can shop online and those wondrous gifts will actually come to you instead of the other way around? The line I get from my friends in retail is they get up at 3 in the morning only to deal with customers who bring in sale ads from other stores and then get pissy that they can't use them there. Joy.

Re: Mormons

I love my uncle, aunt and cousins, but Mormon beliefs are truly crazy. They’re more in line with Scientology or the Masons than so-called mainstream Christianity. That said, the only thing that differentiates a “cult” from a “religion” is the number of followers, and every religious movement has its fringe elements.

I don’t think Romney has a prayer (ha, ha). He allowed marriage equality in Massachusetts and didn’t call out the National Guard or block the county clerks’ offices (hello in Hell, Orval Faubus), which is the ultimate betrayal for the extremist sociopaths currently running the Republican Party. I mean, damn, Mel Martinez is going to be chairman of the RNC and Trent Lott is going to be Senate minority leader, which means that we can look forward to the most viciously homophobic and racist political campaigns in our modern history in 2008, and I’ll bet that Romney will be an early casualty.

I hope that arrogant SOB Romney goes down in flames. I do not want a religious nut running the country. Oops, too late.

Amen on Anita O'Day. One of my favorite records is her with Roy Eldridge and Gene Krupa - fantastic.

Favorite Anita quote: "O'Day is pig latin for money, honey, and lots of it."

I highly recommend reading the Book of Mormon. I don't know what Joseph Smith was on when he dictated it, but I want some.
