My grandfather died this morning from complications of a stroke. I visited him last week for a few days and got to say goodbye, which is more than a lot of people get to so. I'm thankful for that.
This situation is one that almost makes me wish I was religious. Other members of my family are fine, as they can take comfort in believing they will see him again in heaven. I don't have that. I know he's gone

This is what texting has done to this country.
We need to outlaw text messaging. I'm serious.
Adults can normally write coherent sentences using a text message, but now people are growing up texting and speaking in ways that no one but an idiot can ever understand.
I was reading some comments on an NBA article on Yahoo! Sports. You all need to see this. It's disturbing.
What's more disturbing...people UNDERSTAND it, and no one says a damn thing about it.

God and Weddings
My friends Thomas and Annette got married today, and I was one of the ushers. I didn't mind putting on the tux (cause i'm a stud) or setting up, or spending the entire day there. What I DID mind, however, was the overly religious ceremony. Every other word in the ceremony was "fear of god" or "in the eyes of our loving savior" etc, etc.
I played along, since it wasn't my wedding or anything. But one thing struck me as insanely hypocritical, and it always will..
Before the ceremony could even begin, he needed a signed wedding certificate from a county government before it could be "official".
Then, he says in the ceremony that god is the only thing that can ordain marriages.
If that's the case, why the piece of paper from the government? Probably because all marriage consists of is a legally binding contract between two people, right now in this state that has to be a man and a woman. It's got nothing to do with being "right in the eyes of god". It's a contract that governments recognize as legal. Without it, god's marriage is bullshit.

Just a little football tidbit.
Marshall University has played WVU nine times over the last 100 years. They have lost all of those games.
I just did some math, and thought it was a fun fact. Since 1911, West Virginia has outscored Marshall 393-85.
Yikes.
In 1915. WVU beat Marshall 92-0 in Huntington.
I heard a lot of people ragging on WVU about not selling out the statium for the Marshall game, even though almost every other game is a sellout regardless of opponent.
I think that stat should shut them up. It's a major program vs. an underdeveloped program, that hasn't been prominent against this particular team.
It's also just flat not fun to watch sometimes. It's just another W on the scorecard, and that's too bad. If Marshall had more offensive weapons, they might have pulled it out this year. But the fact is, they didn't, they haven't, and they probably won't.
Fact of life.

Rush Limbaugh, cont.
Today, he was dropped from the group that was trying to buy the Rams. I bet you already know what he had to say about it.
“This is not about the NFL, it’s not about the St. Louis Rams, it’s not about me,” Limbaugh said. “This is about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find them, in the media, the Democrat Party, or wherever, to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative.
What a cocksucker. It has nothing to do with "the left", it has to do with the fact that aside from your cult-like following of idiots, NO ONE IN AMERICA LIKES YOU. There's no room anymore for your kind of racist, bigoted, intellectually-inept ramblings on the forefront of American politics. The 1800's called. They want their racism back.

Take that, Rush.
Apparently, Rush Limbaugh wanted to bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. Guess what, Rush. The NFL commissioner hates you. At least one owner of one NFL team...hates you.
This is sweet, sweet justice. Makes me happy that fat lying blow-tards can't actually buy everything they want.
Here's a taste:
“I have said many times before that we are all held to a higher standard here,” the commissioner said. “I think divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about. I would not want to see those kind of comments from people who are in a responsible position within the NFL. No. Absolutely not.”
'According to transcripts posted on his Web site, in 2007 Limbaugh also said: “The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.” That comment, and others, resurfaced this month when he revealed he is teaming with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts to bid on the Rams.
In an e-mail to The Associated Press, Limbaugh said he was forced to respond because “the totally made-up and fabricated quotes attributed to me in recent media reports are outrageous and slanderous.” He also noted that he would be a minority owner in the prospective group, adding he is from Missouri and was saddened when the Cardinals left for Arizona.'
Here's the full article.
I just found this too in an article on some blog. A person in the comments wrote it, and it puts a lot of Limbaugh's base into perspective.
"I am a forever listener of ElRushbo. I listen to his actual words. He is not racist. He can be controversial only if you dont agree with him"
I guess we're all controversial when someone doesn't agree with us.
Right?

Sometimes it takes a tragedy
I've never seen such honest emotion in a news broadcast. Not until today.
I've seen people spewing hate, and honestly believing it. But i've never seen a newscaster break down (except Glen Beck. But he's a puppet.) on air over something they believe in so much. It really put some things in perspective for me.

Get em, Frank.
I stole this from Friendly Atheist, who got it from YouTube. I think it warrants a reposting here, since he posts quite a bit and it might get lost. I need to buy his book to support him, and so you do.

***VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ***
I just now found this out. It's earth shattering information. I can't believe I never knew about this!
Apparently, Warlocks are the enemy of god.
It's ok don't worry. I pissed my pants too.

Who says we don't need insurance reform
It's dental insurance, but it still falls into the same vein.
Two months ago, I had a root canal done. The dentist ran my insurance, and gave me a price to pay based on the amount Delta Dental normally pays for root canals. So up front, I paid $190 out of my pocket and got the work done.
Today I come home to a nice fat $110 bill from my dentist. I called them, and was informed that the insurance only paid a portion of what they normally pay, and I will have to pay the amount in full before further work can be done. I was also informed that the estimated amount was done as a courtesy, and it isn't always accurate, just based on past trends from whatever insurance company a person has.
I was supposed to go tomorrow to have a temporary filling removed, and two more done. My estimated portion out of pocket for this was $70. I'm not going now. I don't want to be hit with yet another bill two months down the road because the insurance I pay for decided they don't want to pay for me to get my dental work done. This is exactly the issue for most Americans who aren't in the top tier tax brackets. The conservatives keep telling us insurance is fine, grow up and get a job to pay for it, etc etc. I don't have an extra $180 to go get some fillings done, then come up with MORE money later in the year to pay for it AGAIN because the insurance decided they aren't going to pay what they normally do.
Something needs to be done. There's a reason the people in this country are obese, unhealthy, dying, and have bad teeth. It's all the fault of huge insurance companies deciding our fates. We're not all Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh. I don't own multiple houses, jets, cars, etc. I'm a working student with little extra money.
Sorry, teeth. You're all doomed.

Tales from the gas station
There I was, pumping gas. A homeless man walks up to me, and asks if I have any spare change. I don't, so I informed him of this fact. "That's ok. god bless you." he says.
"Wait." I said. "Why did you say god bless you?"
The next part is absolute gold.
"Because god blesses everyone and everything. Plus it's the right thing to do."
So, I asked this dirty, smelly unshaven man how god has blessed him. He didn't have an answer. He just stared at me for a moment, and walked away completely taken aback by what happened.
Maybe I just changed someones life. Maybe he'll stop praying for a solution and go out and find one for himself. I honestly hope so.

It's just too easy.
Look up the word Glenn uses in his mnemonic device. Just look it up. A simple google search of the spelling is enough.
Here. It's so easy, i'll do it for you.
