An open letter to the teabaggers of the world:

Snopes recently re-debunked yet another piece of teabagger wharrrgarble that opens "Would you please let me know if this is true or not? Thank you!".

I can not only answer that question based on the next four words, but provide you with the tools to get this answer yourself, next time, without needing to call me (or Snopes)!

Those next four words: "Barack Hussein Obama had...."

And you're done. Right there. See the "Hussein" in between "Barack" and "Obama"? BOOM, HEADSHOT, what the writer of that forwarded email is saying is definitely not true.

Happy Mother's Day!

These dogs look so proud of themselves.

Free Sarah Monette story!

This dog is less proud.

I'm not the only person who would buy this on principle, right?

Random media aside:

Watching The Truman Show, which is an excellent movie despite itself.

Was thinking that Truman would have been far easier to control had they added religion, screwing him up from a young age that God didn't WANT certain things to happen or he'd suffer.

But there's at least two major reasons not to do this.

#1: No matter which religion they picked to inflict on Truman, they'd alienate a big chunk of the audience. The "nonspecific American Christianity" they used would poll better, and make more money for the show.

#2: Under no circumstances could Christof[1] POSSIBLY allow any God before Him.

[1]: Ed Harris. And no, that name isn't meaningful. At all.
