Mrs. Betty Bowers Explains Abortion

I always feel the need to preface any post about abortion with a, "not really my issue," disclaimer. And it isn't. But the anti-abortion side is so chock full o' nuts, it's difficult to stay neutral on the subject. Especially when you consider that it is almost uniformly big-C Christians who are the most adamantly anti-abortion. Which is curious, since the biblical admonitions against it are slight. . .very, very slight. Kind of like the biblical anti-gay passages, which are few and arguable, and don't rise to the number one or two spot with abortion for "things the Bible wants you to devote your life to stopping." But don't take it from me, take it from America's Best Christian!

Comedy Break: Farting Preacher (Redux)

I scrolled through my list of recent posts, and while my writing did get to be drippingly sarcastic, it's just top-heavy with politics. I pondered, what makes me laugh? What would be a total departure for the blog, just to lighten the mood?

Then I remembered a post from months ago, a very juvenile, extremely tasteless, and hilarious video called "The Farting Preacher." I revisited that post, and as is often true with YouTube, the videos have vanished. But good news, fart-joke lovers! I found the single funniest clip of the bunch: Farting Preacher II: Fart Harder. So at the risk of alienating the highbrow set, I'm unleashing this toxic cloud on the blog! It's about a preacher, so it's vaguely newsworthy right?

Hey, I'm still looking for a niche for this blog, why not steal Stephanie Miller's "Mensa meeting with fart jokes" motto? If you like low-brow humor, click play and enjoy. If you think you're above that type of thing, I offer you a dare: click play anyway, and just try not to laugh.

Warning: It gets funnier as it goes.

Oh, did this one hit my funny bone! And The Other Half (who has feuded with neighbors over barking not poop) will get a chuckle too. If you don't, just scroll past, and remember that some guys just dig toilet humor. . .

Hijacked Jesus statue returned to owner

A Kent County woman says a treasured family heirloom has been returned after it was hijacked amid allegations she doesn't clean up after her dogs. [snip]

The note reads: “We are holding Jesus ransom until you clean up the poopie from your wieners and trust us we see you take your wieners for long walks w/out picking up their poopie in our yards. This has upset us dearly so please clean up all the weiner poopie, if you want to see Jesus unharmed. Sincerely, Lindy Lane Residents.” . . .
