Lisa Marie Presley defends Scientology – Yahoo! News

Really? Lisa Marie Presley? Can you possibly imagine that The Church Of Scientology wants to be defended by Michall Jackson’s “ex-wife”?

Really? This guy is the face the Republicans want to put out there?

Nugent: I was in Chicago last week I said—Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these you punk? Obama, he’s a piece of shit and I told him to suck on one of my machine guns…Let’s hear it for them. I was in NY and I said hey Hillary—you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch…Since I’m in California, I’m gonna find– she might wanna suck on my machine gun! Hey, Dianne Feinstein, ride one of these you worthless whore. Any questions? Freeeeedom!

I’m sorry, why, exactly, do women vote Republican?
(yes, I know he doesn’t actually say ‘rape’, but I’m not sure you can get much closer)

It does make me sad that, when we are confronted by something scary and so far not fully explained, we still turn to magic.

When I was 11 or 12, I had two comedy albums.  One was by Bill Cosby (it had the Noah bit on it which is still brilliant) and the other was George Carlin’s “A Place For My Stuff” (I think that was the title).

These are two great albums to have, because the illustrate two very different kinds of comedy.  Say what you want about Bill, but he’s a master storyteller.  I mean, how do you beat “Now, I told you that story so I could tell you this one”?

George, however, was very different.  Much more observational, much more out there on the edge (especially back then, and earlier).  Borderline absurdist.

I’m thankful to both these men.  I love comedy.  I love humor.  I love breaking it down and trying to figure it out.  I love the choice of words, the timing, the emphasis.

Everything.

And, to be honest, much of what I do know and understand about comedy I owe to these two men, in some manner or another.

Thanks George.  I’ll miss you.

it should be noted that my feelings towards Scientology aren’t significantly different than my feelings towards any other religion.  The only differences are:

1. Scientology is blatant and shameless in requiring money if you want salvation (most churches try to hide this best they can)
2. Scientology promises super-power (most churches say they have super-powers, but only a few can get them, no matter how hard others may try)
3. Scientology is more than happy to abuse the legal system to keep 1 & 2 secret.

Anyhow, Wikileaks has given the big Fuck You to L. Ron and his abusive crew and published over 500 pages of secret documents comprising the hidden bibles of Scientology (more or less). 

And yes, there are super-powers.  If you can stomach it all, the full documents can be found here

McCartney ex-wife awarded $48.7M – CNN.com

Former Beatle Paul McCartney was Monday ordered to pay nearly $50M to his estranged wife as their bitter divorce battle came to an end.

But one can only assume that is a very temporary situation.

When your lead singer goes on national TV as a judge on America’s Next Top Band and manages to look roughly as bright as, say, Britney (yeah, Steely Dan is just WAY too progressive), and the next year, they are doing a concert at the EMC conference, one can safely assume that star is on the decline.

Really? I mean…REALLY??? Thats who you are going to cite?
Jeez. If I’d known their standards were even lower than I’d dreamed, I would have started a tabloid years ago.
