Penn Jillette said “Luck is probability taken personally”.. Well actually it was Chip Denman that said it.. but whatever. That statement is so interesting, particularly because of how accurate it really is.
People rely on this mystical force called “luck” to help them through life and its generally a pretty harmless thing to do, well unless you’re into gambling. But I do find amusing the sorts of lengths people go to in order to improve their luck. Read more

The arrogant stubbornness (Is there any other kind?) of the Vice President Continues to amaze me daily. As CBSNews.com reports, Cheney offered up the first White House response to this week’s Senate resolution deriding the Presidents planned escalation ”augmentation” of troop levels in Iraq by more than 21,000.

Once again, the fires of the “culture war” between religious watchdogs and “Hollywood” (aka “movies”) are being fanned simply for the sake of getting pissed off. As Playfuls.com reports, The Catholic League has requested an investigation into whether or not the independent film “Houndog,” which recently premiered at the Sundance film festival, has broken any child pornography laws.

Finally, someone (Keith Olberman) has the gumption to call FOX out for what it really is: Illegitimate propaganda. Not that that is going to do anything, since Fox will fire right back with the same discrediting doublespeak they’re famous (and popular) for, but at least he’s said what we’ve all been thinking, you know, on TV.

Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

Germany Says No To Scientology

The scientologists are trying to set up shop in Germany but have come under very heavy criticism by the German government and its citizens. They have stated that the organization is merely hiding under the guise of a religion in order to exploit money from people by brainwashing them.
Finally a country that gets it! If only the US would wake up to the scheming nature of scientology and remove their tax exempt status. It was founded by a bad science fiction writer who has stated that the best way to make money is to start a religion for fucks sake!
At least it’s one more nail in the coffin.
