God is a big fag.
If I believed in God, I would agree wholeheartedly with Margaret Cho. That bitch should be President. Heres what she has to say in response to people commenting on her Christianity:
I’m a Christian, you Fuckers
All kinds of Christians are getting mad about my Sarah Palin comments, and it is pissing me off.
First of all – you fucking fake Christians - don’t fucking question my Christianity. I grew up in the church. My grandfather was a minister, who is with God now and talks to me in my dreams from God’s corner office. I am a former Sunday school teacher. I taught the Bible to children and showed them how to love God and invite him into their hearts. I believe in God – but I don’t fear him. God is my best friend. God is my ally. God is my boyfriend. God is my best fag. I am God’s fag hag cuz didn’t you know, God is a big fag. Serious bottom too. Butch in the streets, femme in the sheets. That is my God. God is my biggest fan. God gets me, dude.
God wants us all to just get along. He doesn’t give a shit about the profanity. The bitch fucking invented profanity. He thinks it is hilarious. He just wants you to talk to him, and he doesn’t care what you have to say. He just wants to keep the conversation going. Like Jay-Z, he just wants to love you. He just wants you to be able to make your own decisions. God is all about you and what you need. God is happy that you are gay. God made you fucking gay cuz he thinks it is awesome. God understands if you need to have an abortion. That is why he created abortion, on the 8th day. God accepts. God forgives. God loves all of us, even though some of us might have a problem with each other.
Don’t fucking question my Christianity you fucking idiot assholes. If you continue to have a problem, then talk to God about it, not me, you fucking racist homophobic misogynist fake Christian shitheads. God thinks it is funny that I swear so much. He said I could use his name in vain or whatever. He just wants me to use it. He loves me. So fuck you. And I guess he loves you too. Even though you are fake Christian assholes. If you were truly Christians, you would let gays get married, and send them fucking presents from Bed Bath and Beyond!
If you truly believed in Jesus, you would try to be like him and love us, fags and dykes and feminists all. God bless you, even you. You fucking fuckers.

"Is that a fish in your penis, or are you just happy to see me?"
The above picture is an ultrasound of some kid's bladder, which contains a fish. A young Betta fish to be exact.
Doctors treating a 14 year old boy from India were shocked to find a 2cm long fish had "slipped" up his penis and into his bladder.
The patient, who was admitted to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention spanning a 24-hour period, gave an interesting explanation.
Details of the case, which was documented in The Internet Journal of Urology, have revealed that the patient claimed that the fish "slipped" into his penis while he was maintaining his aquarium.
Did it jump or was it pushed?
The paper's authors, Professor G Vezhaventhan and Professor R Jeyaraman, wrote: "While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine.
"When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his urethra and then he developed all these symptoms.
"Mentally he was sound and clinically he was absolutely a normal person with no previous history of any psychiatric illness."
Removal
Closer examination using an X-ray failed to show anything, but an ultrasonagram check of the boy's abdomen revealed a full bladder and a small "echogenic object", indicating the presence of a foreign body in the urinary bladder.
Vezhaventhan and Jeyaraman then used a technique known as cystourethroscopy to insert a special set of forceps attached down the boy's penis.
Unfortunately, the fish was just too slippery to grip, so they resorted to using a rigid ureteroscope with a tool attached that is normally used for removing bladder stones.
The fish the urologists removed, which Practical Fishkeeping believes to be a small member of the Betta genus, measured 2cm long and 1.5cm wide. It's definitely not a Candiru (which is notorious for swimming into people's orifices).
After the removal of the fish the boy's symptoms disappeared, but he was subsequently sent for psychiatric counseling.

Ramblin' Man
Here are some things that have been on my mind this week, in no particular order.
Squirrel Nut Zippers - After quite a long hiatus from my playlists (and as a band themselves), the Zippers are back!!!! I learned this weekend that they have reuinted and are planning to release a live album later this year (They've been touring recently around their home base of N.Carolina) and a new studio album in 2009! When I read this, I emmited a loud squeek of delight.
Mice - My apartment is infested. Blergh. So far Jeff and I have killed or captured 8 of the little bastards. Hopefully my landlord will bring in an exterminator to wipe them all out. I fully support rodent genocide.
Freaks and Geeks - If you aren't aware, this TV show aired in 1999/2000 for one season and starred the likes of Linda Cardellini (ER), James Franco (Spiderman/Pineapple Express), Seth Rogan (Knocked Up, Pineapple Express), Jason Segal (Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Martin Starr (Knocked Up), Sam Levince (Undeclaired), John Francis Daley (Waiting, Bones), and Busy Philips (ER). Notice a trend? Freaks and Geeks is produced by Judd Apatow, who is the man behind a slew of recent comedy blockbusters, the most recent being 'Pineapple Express'. Needless to say, most of these actors got their start on this show and are now climbing the ladder out of the realm of obscurity and a few of them have already made a big splash (Franco, Rogan, Segal).
Anyway, thats enough exposition. The show finally reached the top of my Blockbuster online queue, and I couldn't be happier. Its a great show. Superbly written, acted and directed. Unfortunately, it never found it's audience. While the stories and characters are excellent, the pacing is a bit slow compared to other TV shows of it's time. Nowadays, viewers are a lot more fogiving of long lasting story-arcs and in depth character development. In fact, they are expected. I highly reccomend renting, downloading, or just outright buying the DVDs. There are 18 episodes over 6 discs. I would definately put this show in the top 10 best TV shows of the last 10 years.
James Franco - I've always thought he was underrated as an actor, and after watching 'Pineapple Express' and 'Freaks and Geeks', my theory has definately been confirmed. Hopefully now that hes hit it big, he'll do more dramatic and complex roles. I suppose every young actor needs to have an 'Annapolis' to pay the bills. I still havn't seen his portrayal of James Dean, tho I hear it is excellent.
The Sopranos - I think it's about time to watch the series from the top all the way through to the end. Jeff is with me, anyone else?
The Godfather Trilogy - I finally saw the first two parts (will see the third tomorrow). I don't know how I've gone so long without it, its incredible!
Politics - Last election I was optimistic of a Democratic win, but as the election drew closer I became less sure until ultimately I accepted defeat (friggin Ohio). This time around tho, I have much more hope. How can Obama not win?!? I'm thrilled with his choice of Biden for VP. Apparently he causes trouble with some of the things he says. But from what I've read, he seems to be a straight shooter. You might not like what he says or how he says it, but he's honest (as much as any politician) and straight forward. After 8 years of double talk and secrets, I think we can handle an abbrasive speaker. Everything Obama says and stands for is truly inspiring. I've never really felt inspired by a politician before. I think McCain screwed himself with his VP choice. Not even a full week after being selected, there are already multiple scandals in the press. Including an absurd one about her faking a pregnancy to cover for her teenage daughters sexual exploration, that could really turn out to be true. Every major press junket is investigating it. On top of all this, its a woman! With a good chance that McCain could die during office because of his age and failing health, will republicans and undecided voters really take the chance of electing a woman President? I think not.
