Democratic Prez Hopeful Calls for Iraq Pullout

AP -- Democratic US Presidential hopeful Moqtada Al Sadr renewed his call today for a complete withdrawal of US military forces from the quagmire that has become Iraq, or that Iraq has become.  I forget which.  Joining the likes of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Harry Pelosi, Nancy Reid (I know those are backwards - it's a joke), Al Sadr called for "complete surrender" of American military forces, as US casualties in the Middle East soared to equal the number of people killed in side-on collisions involving 1960s-vintage Chevy Malibus at speeds under 35 miles per hour in the last three decades.  On Tuesdays.

Al Queda spokesman Howard Dean called the Al Sadr announcement another nail in the coffin of the Bush strategy to resist the inevitable collapse of Western Civilisation and the ensuing conquest of Islam and Sharia law.  "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" said Dean.  Er wait.  Dean is a Democrat?  I keep getting these players mixed up.

 Anyway, Rosie O'Donnell joined the chorus of enlightened beings calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush for crimes against their imagination.

 "Come here, little girl.  Mooooooo!" O'Donnell said.

The God Delusion - Part 1

I read The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins.  Here's the first part of my review.

Cutting through it all, Dawkins has three arguments that he says prove that God doesn't exist. 

First, all the really smart people are atheists.  Um, okay. 

Second, Aquinas' arguments proving God's existence don't work.  I could be wrong, but I think Aquinas was not intending to definitively prove God's existence -- I think he would have said that actual proof would negate faith -- but instead was offering arguments to help people reason their way to faith if they were already so inclined.  But even if I'm wrong about Aquinas, it doesn't matter.  As someone said about ancient civilizations, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.  In other words, the failure to logically prove God's existence may welll prove that there are no logical arguments proving God's existence, but that may only prove something about the reach of human logic, not God. 

Third, and finally -- really, this is all he has to say -- Dawkins "proves" that God does not exist by pointing to evolution (which, by the way, I believe is the most accurate explanation to date of the evidence about life on Earth) and declaring that because, in evolution, creativity and intelligence come late in the game, therefore God could only have come about through some sort of evolution, and so "Who made God?"

Honestly.  The best that this very, very smart man can come up with is a four-year-old's question that nobody takes seriously.  The flaw seems so obvious to me I can't believe Dawkins doesn't see it himself.  Namely, it's this: what if the "spiritual world" doesn't follow the same rules as the physical world?

Well, the answer to that is, apparently, there is no spiritual world because there is no physical evidence of one.  I dunno.  That response seems so silly I can scarecly believe he falls back on it.  But he does.

More to come.

Management Quiz

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional manager. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question!

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?

Wrong Answer.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been paying attention? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

Worst US President Calls Bush Worst US President

AP -- Jimmy "I Lost a Fight with a Rabbit" Carter, who oversaw the Iranian hostage crisis and dozens of other debacles before becoming the most pompous, ill-informed, self-righteous windbag on God's Earth, called George W. Bush the worst US President in American history during a Bible study.  No really.  In a related development, the AIDS virus called the common cold "humanity's greatest scourge," and the Pacific Ocean called my kiddie pool "a really large, dangerous body of water."

 The universe laughed so hard it farted.
