bitch is the new black
fellow bitch Tina Fey expresses my feelings.

Comedian/host Peter Segal on Obama, from Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me:
PETER SEGAL:...Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are practically tied in delegates, but with a bunch of recent primary victories, the Obama camp is starting to talk like he’s unstoppable. They cite widespread approval of his policy platforms, which include calling for hope, renewal, change, perkiness, and a 50 percent increase in our gross national positivity. Critics say that his campaign is turning into a kind of cult with his rallies seeming more like religious revival meetings. Supporters say that’s ridiculous because religious revival meetings don’t usually feature speeches by Jesus himself. [Audience laughter]
...It is a little weird that if you dare to say to an Obama supporter that you don’t quite get it or you haven’t made up your mind they really do look at you as if there’s just something wrong with you, that you don’t grasp the enlightenment.
TOM BODETT: Yeah, remember when they still allowed moonies in the airports? It’s was like that.
PETER SEGAL: It’s like every single one of the millions of people who support him is becoming more and more like Tom Cruise every day. And I don’t know if that’s a good thing for the nation is all I’m saying. They’re all jumping on couches, metaphorically speaking.

don't let the sun set on your bad attitude
As you might have guessed by now; God and I did not work out. I am fine with the way things are between us, and I am sure that God (were he real) would feel the same way. The only people who seem to have a problem with our situation, are people who believe in God.
The most important exception to this group are the Bektashis. The Bektashis do not care about my relationship with God, because they are wonderful people. They are the Albanian answer to the Unitarians really - with a little less Jesus and a lot more Mohamed. Needles to say, I was immensely happy to see that Ourmanintirana has become interested in the people who put the "fun" in "funislam".
This is a typical Bektashi joke:
A Bektashi undertook a voyage on a sailing ship. Once the ship reached open sea, a storm rose and caused the ship to rock violently. The Bektashi became petrified. Of all the passengers on the ship he was perhaps the most afraid. Also on board was a hodja, and as is their habit, he began to engage the Bektashi in a conversation about faith.
“Why do you fear my friend?” asked the hodja. “Don’t you know Allah is the Most Generous of the generous?”
“That’s exactly why I’m terrified,” cries out the Bektashi. “He’s so generous that He would probably feed the fish with our corpses!”
