Die, heretic!

Via beagle1971: Emo Philips on God jokes. My favorite:

A Mormon told me that they don't drink coffee. I said, "A cup of coffee every day gives you wonderful benefits." He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, it keeps you from being Mormon ..."

It's good to know accusations of festering cronyism isn't doing anything to change the current administration. Your new Supreme Court nominee: White House counsel and, before that, White House staff secretary and chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission. Time spent as judge: nil.

Bush announced his choice in a televised Oval Office event saying, "For
the past five years Harriet Miers has served in critical roles in our
nation's government."

Outstanding. Rationale enough for a lifetime appointment to the highest judicial post in the land, then. Unless there's something else at work. I almost hope for the sinister here. Anything less is just stupid.

If it were me, I'd rather have seen redmonster nominated instead.
