…don’t piss off talk show hosts; they are not subtle, but they’re very quick to anger.
Here David Letterman rips McCain a new one for cowardice after McCain suspends his campaign and blows off The Late Show, amid rumours of a stroke:
“This smells” says Letterman. That’s putting it mildly. It stinks.
UPDATE: OK I see now why they didn’t want Palin anywhere near Letterman. My god, she’s lamer than a wet-behind-the ears Lib Dem parish councillor.
Like many staunch atheists the only thing that might ever make me revert to churchgoing youth is the beauty of sacred music. Nothing imparts a sense of the numinous like Mozart’s Requiem, for instance, whether you’re religious or not. So my fellow atheists are going to have to do a damned sight better than this atheist’s anthem if they want to persuade anyone of their rightness.
Cute, but it’s no Handel’s Messiah:
THE ATHEIST ANTHEM March Tempo
I AM AN A-THEISTS, FREE FROM MIND CON-TROL,
I HAVE NO GOD-S, DE-VILS OR A SOUL,
MY LIFE IS HAP-PY, AS PEO-PLE CAN SEE,
CAUSE I LOVE NA-TURE, AND HU-MAN-I-TY.ALL THROUGH THE A-GES, IG-NOR-ANCE PRE-VAILS,
RE-LIG-OUS LEAD-ERS, PREA-CHING FAIR-Y TALES,
STOP ALL YOUR RAV-ING, AND YOUR REH-TORIC,
YOUR RE-E-LIG-IONS, MAKE ME SICK.LOGIC AND SCI-ENCE, GOOD FOR YOU AND ME,
NOT A FOOL-ISH BI-BLE, OR A DE-I-TY,
I WANT REALITY, AS MY GOAL,
I AM AN A-THEIST, FREE FROM MIND CON-TROL,
I AM AN A-THEIST, FREE FROM MIND CONTROL,
I AM AN A-THEIST, FREE FROM MIND CONTROL,
FREE– ———- FROM MIND CON-TROL. YES!Lyrics & Music by: David M. Mandell O May 2002 Atheists of Silicon Valley, Mt. View, CA. www.godlessgeeks.com
Have a great grand goddamn good godless day!
Ow. My ears hurt.

Courtesy of a commenter at Digby’s comes this quote:
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
–Thomas Jefferson
Just in case US voters rebel against the biggest theft ever of their money… Wall St and Washington have got it covered.
WordPress is being arsey and won’t let me edit the previous post, so I have to post this separately.
It’s not the JDL (at least not directly) that’s distributing the DVD, it’s an outfit called The Clarion Fund.
Clarion Fund denies partisan intent
The video itself was made in 2006 and does not explicitly endorse any Republican candidate….
Of course not. Perish the thought.
