I Love John Cusack.

Faux News is pissed - Whaaa haaa haaa.

“John Cusack Calls for Satanic Death of Fox News, GOP Leaders,” blares the FoxNews.com headline. Not just death, mind you, satanic death. Diane Court would be stunned.

I love self parady.  “Did Cusack cross a line?”  You gotta be fucking kidding me!  Fox worried about someone going over a line – BAH! 

I vote for the Satanic Death of Fox News!

God did not create the universe, the man who is arguably Britain’s most famous living scientist says in a forthcoming book.

In the new work, The Grand Design, Professor Stephen Hawking argues that the Big Bang, rather than occurring following the intervention of a divine being, was inevitable due to the law of gravity.

In his 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, Hawking had seemed to accept the role of God in the creation of the universe. But in the new text, co-written with American physicist Leonard Mlodinow, he said new theories showed a creator is “not necessary”.

The Grand Design, an extract of which appears in the Times today, sets out to contest Sir Isaac Newton’s belief that the universe must have been designed by God as it could not have been created out of chaos.

“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,” he writes. “Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.

“It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.”

In the forthcoming book, published on 9 September, Hawking says that M-theory, a form of string theory, will achieve this goal: “M-theory is the unified theory Einstein was hoping to find,” he theorises.

“The fact that we human beings – who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles of nature – have been able to come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is a great triumph.”

Hawking says the first blow to Newton’s belief that the universe could not have arisen from chaos was the observation in 1992 of a planet orbiting a star other than our Sun. “That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions – the single sun, the lucky combination of Earth-sun distance and solar mass – far less remarkable, and far less compelling as evidence that the Earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings,” he writes.

Hawking had previously appeared to accept the role of God in the creation of the universe. Writing in his bestseller A Brief History Of Time in 1988, he said: “If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we should know the mind of God.”

Hawking resigned as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University last year after 30 years in the position.

“The nonsense about President Obama being a Muslim has got to stop,” Coulter wrote on the conservative website TownHall.com. “I rise to defend him from this absurd accusation by pointing out that he is obviously an atheist.”

If Ann Coulter says it – It can’t be true.  All hope that Obama was actually an atheist is now lost.  Everyone knows that if Ann says something is true – then it can’t be true.

The other sad truth is that she must think that being an atheist is the only thing worse than being a muslim.

Coulter, known for her brash, often humor-tinged commentary, wrote that the “only evidence for Obama’s Christianity is that he faithfully attended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years.”

See Ann Coulter says it – think the opposite.  Go to church for 20 years – ATHEIST!  DUH!

Coulter makes the case that questioning a public person’s religion should not be out of bounds, pointing to Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, televangelists who were disgraced in a series of sex and money scandals, as examples of people practicing false Christianity

Huh?  We did not question their religion.  We knew they were christians.  Christian and crooks.  Oh wait Ann said it – think the opposite.  Hey, what a fun game – what will she think of next?

 ”All liberals are atheists… There’s only one true Christian liberal in the country and that’s Mike Huckabee.”

Remember…. opposites.  Holy Fuck – Huckabee is an ATHEIST.

This is why we need to get vaccines.  Did you ever get the adult booster for whooping cough?  Please check.  You could save the life of a baby!

As only John Stewart can do.  Glenn Beck is a tool.

White Fright

Glenn Beck’s rally was large, vague, moist, and undirected—the Waterworld of white self-pity.
By Christopher Hitchens 

In a rather curious and confused way, some white people are starting almost to think like a minority, even like a persecuted one. What does it take to believe that Christianity is an endangered religion in America or that the name of Jesus is insufficiently spoken or appreciated? Who wakes up believing that there is no appreciation for our veterans and our armed forces and that without a noisy speech from Sarah Palin, their sacrifice would be scorned? It’s not unfair to say that such grievances are purely and simply imaginary, which in turn leads one to ask what the real ones can be. The clue, surely, is furnished by the remainder of the speeches, which deny racial feeling so monotonously and vehemently as to draw attention.

This video shows the IQ of the people at the rally.

Google knows all!
