Slog - Comments on Jesus Fish Says Vote NO On Prop 8! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/jesus_fish_says_vote_no_on_prop_8 Slog tipper J. sees the hand of God in the latest poll data on Prop 8 coming out of California. FiveThirtyEight.com is tracking the poll data on Prop 8. At first the polls showed Prop 8 failing, then it pulled ahead, and now the race is tightening again. And here's what the data looks like as a graph: "Is it just me..." asks J., who sends along this image... FiveThirtyEight's Prop 8 fish reminds J. of the "fetus seen in Hurricane Katrina." Coincidence? Or another inscrutable message from the Almighty? And if God keeps this shit up, is he in...

It proves the divine origins of the modern science of molecular biology.

Obviously, God wants us to believe in evolution.

While I squarely blame the douchenozzles who initiated Prop 8 to ban gay marriage, this sure seems like a waste of money. Maybe there should be a proposition on next year's ballot that if you are a douche who wants to put up pointless propositions, any money raised towards your stupid cause must be equally matched by donations to non-partisan human services or the like. Fuck.

Dan, are you reading the graph correctly? It looks to me like the damn thing is saying that support is on the rise, and opposition on the fall. This is not a good sign considering that last month it was 60% opposed.

I haven't paid taxes since... well, it was a long time before you were born, that's for sure. Besides, nobody knows where I live, least of all the IRS.

[quote]A threatening letter has sparked a new controversy here in San Diego surrounding the gay marriage debate. Donors who gave money to the No on Prop 8 campaign say they received blackmail letters demanding money, and the Yes on 8 campaign now says the letters were sent by their employees.[/quote]

I wonder, if Prop 8 passes, can I bar Mormons from walking into my business?
