I loved this passage in Sam Harris’s The End of Faith that went more or less like: “President Bush says he ‘talks to God’ all the time. If he said he ‘talks to God through a hairdryer’ all the time, there were would be an international crisis. I fail to see the material distinction that the presence or absence of a hairdryer makes.”

This simply cements my “Really, Really, Terminally Bored God” Hypothesis.

Eternity is a really long time, so it’s only to be expected.

I should win the nobel peace prize for medicine in physics for this.

The last five losing democratic party presidential candidates were all milquetoast compromises across the party: Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry. Their presence cost them the election.

The republicans have done that themselves (Ford, Bush 1, Dole), but now they are choosing extremists with no chance of winning: McCain, and a seemingly long list of teabaggers and nutbags like Palin, Bachmann and Romney.

Barring a major screwup by Obama or an untainted or less-tainted nobody appearing who can get the base (immoral, low) republican base (ground support, voters) to vote for him, a re-election of Obama seems a foregone conclusion in light of the OBL killing, the jobs turnaround and car bailouts. If the republicans go with a teabagger, it’s a guaranteed loss; they’d need to recruit someone like Bentley from Alabama who might get democrats to vote for him and against Obama.
