Polar equal weight
President Barack Obama said the media will tell you that one side says there are death panels and the other side does not; what the media does not tell you is that there are no death panels.
Theology
Theology is the study of God. I do not claim to be a scholar in the study of God. I do enjoy reflecting on God and His mysterious ways. We know that the United States of Hell is a hell-hole and a rat-hole. Numb Nuts, aka Americans, love to waste God’s natural and human resources. The bottom line is the United States of Hell’s god. Money is god in our Numb Nut nation.
We have destroyed countries with the help of England and Israel like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Haiti, Pakistan, Lebanon, and Syria. In our destruction of these countries we love to kill God’s children and to maim His children.
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is of epoch proportions. The Valdez oil spill still has problems. The oil spill in the Gulf is ten times worse and we cannot really expect a return of beauty to this area in about two hundred and fifty years. By 2260 our Gulf area will be pristine.
This oil spill is God working in mysterious ways. The evil, vile, and wicked ways of the United States of Hell are now feeling God’s wrath upon our hell-hole and rat-hole nation. Numb Nuts, you should never turn your back on God. God has created Earth for all His children share in her gifts of beauty, natural resources, and the wonders of our planet. We should be good stewards of our planet.
Christian Groups: Biblical Armageddon Must Be Taught Alongside Global Warming
The Onion has this topic covered! If we teach global warming in the public schools, should we also teach about Armageddon

No, they tell me they don't!
re: #6 the Gods tell me; don't they tell you?
And how the hell am I supposed to be responsible for staying up to date on what that one religion thinks, in the 50's the Catholic Pope, along with the Jesuits, had no problem with teaching evolution. 'Ye who shall have so little faith.' - The Christ
You are right on this one Thom, if a certain religion takes issue with a concept I am teaching, why the hell do I have to interrupt the class, and start teaching what that one religion has a problem with what I do.
re: #3: I assume Louisiana is not located within the known omniverse. Or, if it is, it won't be for long.
OMFG!!! How may times do I have to type that there is NO (Nada, none, zero, zip) “Bobby” Jindal anywhere in the known, unknown or unknown that is unknown omniverse. There is only an insane exorcist and noted-anchor-baby Piyush Jindal . . . who sits in the Louisiana Governor’s chair . . . sometimes.

The TSA workers should have a right to a labor contract it is as simple as that.
Most workers in the USA have a right to organize, Hence they have a say about important work place issues.
Since the begining of the organized labor era there has never been a work force so large been to be denied a labor contract.
No Goverment employee services more people in any given day, (holidays included) No gov employee is tested more. They have a delicate job of Customer service/ Security. They are often scrutinized regarding the balance of these issues. Which is why they need a contract of specific performance. So they know entirely there job as well as the one of management, whom tends to cater to airlines but also wants to have as few screeners on the floor as possible. So it becomes a fire drill with mando work hours until the lines have been serviced.
The other issues you hear little about is the costs. Under the radar management runs the show spending the money as they see fit. Well Bush and freinds have had this for 8 yrs. The gravy would be curtailed if the had a union.. They outsource... They over employ management.. so much so there is little solid decision making. I wouldnt be suprised if there was kickback situations with regard to vendors. There appears to be much waste.
Some interesting articles on the oil spill. Please read the first one all the way threw before rendering judgement. She's not saying let BP off the hook but empowering us to do something about it. Some good food for thought. Enjoy,
Well, after all, it was you and me

50 Ways to Leave Crude Oil

Now my Congressman is telling me we can't "afford" Social Security." If that is so, how can we afford military pensions and our 2010 military spending of one trillion dollars?
Some Additional Comments
The harvest is rich but the laborers are few. God has given planet, Earth riches that should be shared with everyone. Greed and selfishness prevent the sharing of riches.
We keep hearing buy American products. I have always said that I want to buy American products if I had the money. Thirty years of Reaganomics have given us slave wages. We have lost our middle class and Americans have fallen into what is the lower middle class and a step closer to the poor house.
I read that government jobs are no longer sacred. More government jobs will be lost. Another step closer to a banana republic is quite clear today.
The United States of Hell is a nation that has the devil’s disciples in charge. We are a damned nation and a nation that has lost its soul. In fifteen years we have gone from a nation that wanted an amendment to make Christianity the nation’s religion to an anti-Christ nation. The United States of Hell is a nation where mortal sin runs rampant in the hearts of most Americans.
The harvest is rich but the laborers are few. These words are not just about the abundance that is to be shared. It is also about heaven and the wonders are many but only a few will see heaven. How can God permit the many devil’s disciples, especially from America to enter heaven? God cannot permit a nation that worships Satan and gladly kills and maims His children to be in heaven.
We keep hearing that Americans want more transparency. What a joke! We are the most transparent nation in the world. The United States of Hell has been a violent nation for five hundred years. America is a culture of violence.
We are losing our nation.

@Zero G, thank you for not taking my comment as real at this time. I say at this time because I do no trust our Numb Nut federal government. They will in time strangle us slowly and subtlely. Thom will share with us from time to time how Hitler and his goons took control over the German people.

Class warfare is real.
And on the more serious side, we may actually start seeing journalists being detained while covering the BP underwater gusher or their refineries...

Gerald - While I don't take your scenario seriously, let me take this opportunity to provide you the link to Prison Radio, which makes Mumia Abu Jamal's (and other's) commentaries from Death Row available. http://www.prisonradio.org/
A Special Summer Session
While the Senate determines Elana Kagan’s fate toward confirmation, the Supreme Court is meeting in a special summer session to determine Thom’s fate as an active terrorist for his humanitarian deeds or as I like to call them – Sacramental Moments. The betting in Las Vegas would have reached one billion dollars whether or not Thom would be convicted as an active terrorist. Upon conviction the betting would commence on his fate – hung as a terrorist, life imprisonment, or twenty years and with good behavior he would be out in ten years. There will be no betting. With five Mafioso justices on the Supreme Court the odds are that Thom will be convicted. Sentencing betting has also stopped because there is talk Thom will be placed in a private prison for profit and that means no parole. Paroling a prisoner erases profits and that will never happen.
The only question I have is will Thom still be able to host his radio show behind prison walls from 12 Noon to 3 PM over a Detroit radio station or will his voice be silenced?
I want to share with you the July 4 homily from Father Ray. He shared with us a number of examples of Americans going to a foreign country to do humanitarian deeds and work. According to the Supreme Court ruling these Sacramental Moments may be considered acts of terrorism by these Americans. There are more and more Americans who are evil, vile, and wicked and they consider good deeds acts of terrorism. The United States of Hell considers good deeds acts of terrorism. I want you to remember that any good you may do in foreign countries will be looked upon acts of terrorism. The only deeds that are considered patriotic are the killing and maiming of God’s children.
