It is likely that the new year will bring a strong indication of a planet that is sustaining life. The consequences to religion should be profound, but then again, that would require some sane thought and discussion. This should be a doosey.
When Galileo figured out that the Earth goes around the Sun rather than vice versa, that had profound consequences to religion too. Maybe religion should get a clue.
While Quirk of course, who seemed to fit right in with the Orionites, Quirk over at SoulsRUS, tried to ensoul the poor critters, who had five legs, and hooves, and hairy nostrils, Quirk told them we have a soul sale on now.
Dougman scores an invite to the Bonga, Bonga parties, sets Bill Clinton up with some roofies, and was last seen having an umbrella drink with Sam, as they laughed their asses off.
When Rufus arrives, the Orionites reveal to Rufus The Golden Plates of Orion translated by some archangel or other, in which the coming of 'THE HICK' is predicted for them, and, in a cosmic recognition scene, proclaim Rufus, who is belching, The Coming One, crown him, and arm him with an Orion hunting spear, taking his clothes away, leaving him speared up, King of Orion, naked as a jaybird.
One day after she announced her support for Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Twitter, sales of pop singer Kelly Clarkson's most recent album were surging Friday on Amazon.com.
Sales of Clarkson's album Stronger shot up 442% between Thursday and Friday afternoon on Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500), moving the album from #38 to #7 on Amazon's sales list.
The Financial Times says giants like Goldman Sachs were dealing with the dictator's investments when it needed to plug a hole during the economic crisis. Most of the money has been lost, but with what's going on in Libya any repayment seems unlikely.
This story broke just prior to the NATO military intervention in Libya.
Individualism is the key to Western creativity, to our unsurpassed productivity, and to the simple privilege of being left alone. All the creative work of the last 500 years come from stubborn individuals, from Michelangelo to Bill Gates.
In the end, William Shakespeare valued human souls far more than the post-modern professors of the left. Our humane values will survive today's trendy rabble rousers, just as they survived the Bolsheviks and Hitler. We will wave goodbye to the post-posties as they are left in the dust.Then maybe we can relax to some wonderful music.
"Good night, sweet Prince," says Horatio at the climax of Shakespeare's Hamlet, "and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."
It is a glorious sentence, a golden nugget of Western civilization. Horatio's farewell to Hamlet evokes a world in which Hamlet's tormented soul, after avenging his murdered father, falls dead and ascends to Heaven glorified by a chorus of angels. That is a remarkably humanizing image, one in which Hamlet gives his own life to set things right, and the very heavens celebrate the justice of his cause. Life on earth may be full of injustice, but in the Western imagination truth and right prevail in the end. You may not believe that, but for three thousand years it was an immensely humanizing way to see the world.
Even better would be to find some "Intelligent" life on planet earth.
