15 famous Atheists quotes
If you believe in God and find this offensive you shouldn't. Lighten up.
Happy Holidays!!
1. Creationists make it sound like a ‘theory’ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night — Isaac Asimov
2. I don’t believe in God. My god is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life. — Andrew Carnegie
3. All thinking men are atheists. — Ernest Hemingway
4. Lighthouses are more helpful then churches. — Benjamin Franklin
5. Faith means not wanting to know what is true. — Friedrich Nietzsche
6. The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. — George Bernard Shaw
7. Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile. — Kurt Vonnegut
8. I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. — Frank Lloyd Wright
9. Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. — Denis Diderot
10. A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows. — Samuel Clemens
11. The whole thing is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life. — Sigmund Freud
12. Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. — Edward Gibbon
13. The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church. — Ferdinand Magellan
14. Not only is there no god, but try getting a plumber on weekends. — Woody Allen
15. It’s an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don’t try to make it posthumous. — Gloria Steinem
Tennis is cool again
The mafia, according to McEnroe, is infiltrating the tennis world. My sport has now unjumped the shark.

Writers strike
Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape, absolutely nails the reasons that the talent strike in Hollywood is accelerating the inevitable.
The writers' strike, and the studios' response to the strike, may radically accelerate a structural shift in the media industry -- a shift of power from studios and conglomerates towards creators and talent.
Disintermediation for everyone!!!!! Plus if we loose John Stewart and Colbert in an election year. . .

Sad
The brilliant op-ed by two active duty soldiers in the NYT a couple weeks ago has a horrible epilogue, they both died this week in Iraq. Can't wait to watch your speech tonight Mr Bush. Let me guess, you need more time.
UPDATE:He asked for more time. ass.

Is Rudy White Enough?
Every Republican presidential candidate must win over the so-called conservative base. They are overwhelming white and Christian. They love 9/11 and hate the Clintons. They are easily swayed by racial politics. And to quote Dennis Hopper in "True Romance," they are keenly aware that Rudy Giuliani is "part eggplant."
So...is Rudy Giuliani white enough? Here are the findings:
No
Pro-choice
Surname is over 50% vowel, including the last letter
Surname starts with sneaky spelling of Jew, cf. "Giu" York City
Brown eyes, tans easily
Yes
9/11
At least one of his kids hates him enough not to vote for him
First marriage was to a relative
Thin lips
First name: Rudy
Wife is a bitch
At this point, Rudy registers as white, by a hair. And if Judith starts being polite to staffers, he's right back on the bubble.

The Onion predicts another
the Onion prognosticated another real news headline. This time from the New England Journal of Medicine Fat friends make you fat
I remember a year or two there was another one about Gillette and how they cam out with a 5 blade razor when the onion had read those tea leaves as well.
Zach and Kanye
This is a truly weird video. Zach galifianakis stars in the Kanye song "Can't Tell Me Nothing".
From a previous interview:
Are you into much hip hop these days?
Zach: Not really, even though strangely I’m shooting Kanye West’s new music video here at the farm. He asked me to do it. He doesn’t want to be in it, but he sent me this new song and then asked me to make a video for him here at my farm. He saw me do stand up a few weeks ago here in Los Angeles, and we chatted after the show. He had seen me do these other music videos; I did one for Fiona Apple and I did one of my own where I sing an Anita Baker song. So he saw the Anita Baker one and asked me if I would come up with something. So we’ve been going back and forth trying to figure out what I’m going to do with the song. So I’m figuring that out here at my farm.
Do you know if this is going to be the first single off his new album?
Zach: No I don’t think so. I don’t know what the single is? I have no idea. I think he just wants to release it. No one really does music videos anymore, so he just turned it over to me and gave me a few bucks. I guess I’ll probably shoot it at the end of the day.

Are you an American?
You all have heard how hard the naturalization test is to become a citizen. Take a practice test and see if you can beat my %90 (which was bullshit because the second to last question asks what form number to use to apply for citizenship).
I also don't like the phraseology of the last question. The 1st amendment does not guarantee "freedom of religion", it disallows the creation of a state sponsored religion. This is picky and logically is basically the same. I mention it because I have been in arguments with religios about this guarantee, and they bust out that difference to support ID, creationism, and prayer in school.
The current Mortgage situation
For the finance nerds,
With sub-prime mortgage defaults going through the roof, here is an excellent analysis of what it means for the larger market and big fish alike. Maybe the detractors of sub prime assistance will look into it once it hits their 401k.

The Apocalypse is Near and wearing a Black Turtleneck
The music label EMI is going to sell their music on itunes DRM free. I said it, no digital rights management. Higher quality, lower barrier to entry and higher price (1.30/track). Steve Ducey said it best, "this is going to be huuuuuugggeeeee."
It looks like I will finally start to use the itunes music store. I was boycotting it for this very reason.
If you do not understand the significance of this, start a thread in the comments section for discussion.

My new friend Blake Hall is coordinating the thing so it is going to be great! Don't lurk, help with the planning or claim a session.

UPDATE: The site has been shut down per Seuss estate. This was obviously fair use!!! It was obviously parody, did not compete in the same space as Suessian books!! Copyright is sooooo broken in this nation and I fear that it will have to get much worse before it will be overhauled. Eat my ass frozen head of Walt Disney.

Moratorium
I am officially calling a political moratorium for 2 weeks on dorkfactorprime for the USA's intervention in Somalia. The USA, in my opinion, is waging a holy war. The last straw is the Ethiopian and Somalian struggle in Africa. How can a country founded and affirmed as a nation seeking secularism pick sides in a variety of religious wars across the world?? As Micheal Franti laments our leaders thoughts and actions, "They say Fuck the Constitution, are we looking for a war or a Solution?"
We have changed the congress 3 months ago and now We need to stand up against our Colonial President.
