Virgin Mary Appears in Egypt

With perfect timing for the holiday season, the Blessed Virgin has appeared again in Egypt. Video can be found here. Unlike most mothers she resembles a big blob of light.

Report: TEDDY SAVED JFK’s BRAIN:

A shocking treasure trove of Kennedy documents, photos - and even a human brain fragment believed to belong to former president John F. Kennedy - have been found in the attic of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Hyannis Port home. The stunning discovery came when workers recently cleaned out the historic Cape Cod, Mass, house, which originally belonged to Joe and Rose Kennedy, to begin preparations to convert it to a museum.

Update: Apparently the National Enquirer is the source of this story. See here.

"There are some incredible things in the boxes, safes and lock boxes that have been gathering dust for many decades," a longtime family adviser revealed to The ENQUIRER.

One of the most unusual items found in the attic is a tiny fragment of a brain preserved in formaldehyde.

"The family knows that Bobby Kennedy was given part of JFK's brain after his autopsy, and that it was not buried with him," said the family adviser.

Tesla letter: We have a message from another world

In the summer of 1899, whilst alone in his Colorado Springs laboratory working with his magnifying transmitter, the inimitable Nikola Tesla observed a series of unusual rhythmic signals which he described as 'counting codes'. Having just detected cosmic radio signals for the first time, Tesla immediately believed them to be attempted communications from an intelligent life-form on either Venus or Mars, and later said of the experience, 'The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another'.

They're saying it might be a Russian missile test. Maybe, and that might explain the spiral but I don't see how it explains the blue beam. More here.

Obama winning race for Anti-Christ

10% of voters say they think Obama is the Anti-Christ with 11% unsure and 8% say the same of Bush with an equal 11% unsure. Some opponents of Obama have pointed to biblical 'proof' to show that Obama is the Anti-Christ but the relatively equivalent number of Americans saying the same of Bush would seem to be an indication folks' saying that is more a way to express that they really don't like a politician than it is rooted in theology

Kevin Jennings is Obama's "Safe Schools Czar". He is also the founder and former Executive Director of GLSEN , the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. Anyway GLSEN has a list of recommended books and Gateway Pundit has read some of them and posted the dirty parts, which I'm sure you will want to read although some of them are a little gay. A few samples:

By first grade I was sexually active with many friends. In fact, a small group of us regularly met in the grammar school lavatory to perform fellatio on one another.

My cousin got up from the couch and stood behind me. He lightly brushed the soft fabric of my robe. “Let’s get gay,” he fawned in a mock faggy tone. “Let’s get gay.” He rubbed his huge hands over the thin fabric that separated them from my behind. He pulled up the robe.

We are in second grade now, and Katie still makes me practice Frenching her.

Trig birtherism is alive and well. Photo taken from here. I love trig birtherism. I want it to be true. I must admit I also love Obama birtherism, because it discredits the nuts on the Right. I do not believe either for the simple reason that neither has any positive evidence to support it. Obama has, however, quite a bit of positive evidence to support that he was born in Hawaii while Sarah Palin really has not presented any evidence to support her claim to have given birth to Trig, namely medical records or a birth certificate. Accordingly, trig birtherism must be regarded as the more plausible of the two. Produce the birth certificate!

Tempest in a teapot

Yesterday I recommended a post by conservative Charles Johnson titled Why I Parted Ways With The Right. Although I have been told by a true wingnut that Johnson was never actually a Conservative.

Rick Moran, of the other conservative blog in my links, criticized Johnson in this post Charles Johnson's World:

Charles Johnson, in his wildly exaggerated, hyperbolic, injudicious, ad hominem, unreasonable, and illogical attacks on the right, has abandoned any claim to prudent analysis and temperate understanding, and has instead, joined the ranks of those on the right and left who don’t deserve to be taken seriously by anyone with half a brain.

The whole post is worth reading and he may have a good point here or there, but I was a bit surprised by the criticism as Rick Moran has hardly been uncritical of the Right himself.

Today Moran describes his own conservative apostasy:

I will be able to track the descent of conservatism into a riot of paranoid conspiracies, rigid ideological litmus tests, unreasonable devotion to idiotic personalities, and catalog how conservatives have become a frothing, hate-filled, imprudent gaggle of screeching, populist harpies who reject reason and logic for a crass emotionalism.

Other than that, I see nothing wrong with the right today.

From the blog Question Everything: The U2 Files: Mayday, 1960

President Eisenhower may have had very good reasons to warn us against the "military-industrial complex."

For some reason this new PETA ad is generating controversy (no doubt its intent). I personally eat animals (if god didn't want us to eat animals, she wouldn't have made them out of meat) but I completely support PETA's right to use attractive, naked women in their ads.

The Family Research Council says that Barack Obama wants to "impose homosexuality" and "silence Christianity". As to the second one, if only it were possible. Just kidding, I love the First Amendment.

Conservative blogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has a must-read post titled Why I Parted Ways With The Right . Really you must read this.

The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff.

I won’t be going over the cliff with them.

A photo of Lee Harvey Oswald being killed has been used in an advertising campaign. Hitherto, I believe, the Kennedy assassination has been off-limits as advertising fodder. Is it too soon to commercialize the JFK assassination?

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, talks about the Kennedy assassination

Wilkerson, who was also Chief of Staff to former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, said that President John F. Kennedy stood up to military power in America twice: once during the Bay of Pigs invasion and once during the Cuban Missle Crisis.

According to Wilkerson, JFK "stood up to a very, very aggressive military" and, as a consequence, "we know what happened to John Kennedy."

When pressed by the incredulous interviewer, Mitch Jesserich, on whether he thought there was a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy, Wilkerson said "there are consequences, whether they are direct consquences or indirect consequences, for standing up to corporate and military power in the United States of America."

Wilkerson said that he thinks "the Warren Commission was a complete whitewash. No question in my mind about it..." and that, in his view, disgrunteld Cuban Americans involved in the Bay of Pigs affair and "perhaps some rogue elements within the United States itself" worked together to kill the president in 1963
