George Carlin @ his best (or worst depending on your POV)

I know some of my many Christian friends are going to be angry at me for this; or maybe think I'm a boor, insensitive or ill mannered. While all of that may be true, I also appreciate satire &  George Carlin was one of the best/worst depending on your POV. So here goes:

(Senator) Christine O'Donnell on Evolution, circa 1998. > Really?

O'DONNELL: You know what, evolution is a myth. And even Darwin himself...

MAHER: Evolution is a myth? Have you ever looked at a monkey?

O'DONNELL: Well then, why they -- why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?

Ban the niqab > women's rights or politics?

Personally, I find it interesting that Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon & Turkey ban it. They see it as a political statement.

In the United Stats it will eventually be seen as a matter of  religious freedom. And it has the makings of an interesting debate when it finally reaches our shores.

Read the reporting from one source here. And here's an editorial of interest (Monica C brought it to my attention) which frames part of the argument quite well except in matters of national security.

I wonder if the idea of the niqab in the U.S. will bring up visions of the hooded KKK? I'm not equating the two. I'm simply saying that the memory of hooded people running around doing disgusting things may be one of those elements that pops up when this issue emerges. Then, too, there are many SWAT type cops who don black masks revealing only their mouth & eyes. Pretty scary if you ask me.
