Oh, my.. This has to be one of the most incoherent, bizarre, oddly Capitalized rants I've seen in a main-stream site in years. Mary Eberstadt appears to have some issues with atheists, although her struggles with English seem more interesting.

Take this one example:

That’s why real religious belief becomes so hard to shake, don’t You see? It’s nothing like one’s “individual conscience” or “internal principles” that way. After all, most people can lose those pretty easily! Just ask anyone when they’re at a party after a few drinks and some Ecstasy and they’re watching a porn movie on the HDTV while everyone’s grinding to Usher, to take an obvious for-instance. At that point, You can pretty much kiss their individual “consciences” and “principles” adios.


Oh, yeah, I run into that particular situation on a daily basis. (Rupert rolls his eyes.)

This may be the closest thing we ever get to a Rob Halford autobiography. Halford - Made in Hell

The entire apartment smells of smoke. We have multiple fires burning around the area, and the near-drought isn't helping things. If the smoke gets much worse, I may retreat to the mall and see Indiana Jones.

At least the heatwave has broken.

But it's time for a cartoon.



I swear, the nieces are getting DVDs of the great cartoons - with violence intact!

The Giants are playing in Kansas City (interleague play, go figure) and both teams are honoring the Negro Leagues by wearing throwback uniforms.

The Giants are wearing the togs of the Brooklyn Royal Giants while the KC Royals are dressed as the Kansas City Monarchs.

I love these old uniforms. Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum (see icon) looks like a kid dressed up for Halloween.

Kruk and Kuip just pointed out that on throwback days the umpires should get into the act. When the Royal Giants and Monarchs played, umpires wore suits with bow ties and were addressed as "sir" by players and managers.

Now I want to watch A League of Their Own pr Eight Men Out again.

Gee, it's less than two weeks until July 4th.

Just thought I'd share that.

Carry on.
