news of the day

so now folks, its time for the real news and the oh my gods that shit is funny news.

  • the real news:

Taxpayers Should Be Allowed To Challenge Bush 'Faith-Based' Office, Americans United Tells Supreme Court

this is something that is actually very near and dear to my heart, because i for one have not been a big fan of the faith based initiative since the very first time i ever saw it. i did not like the idea of having my tax dollars going to support religious groups where i have very little say in what the money goes to. secondly, i also do not like the idea because what i feared, and what has actually happened, was that the government would have its foot in to favor one religion or denomination over the other. such is the case with neopagan organizations who have not received any funds despite their work, and with the christian churches who rallied from the very beginning to sign a petition to make sure that that happened. i hope this case goes far.

  • the oh my gods that shit is funny news:

Chewbacca Arrested in Hollywood!

This is the real deal folks. Apparently, this guy dressed as Chewbacca was arrested on assault charges in Hollywood. Oh, California, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways!
