Easter, imus and atlantic city

Easter is the main holiday of the christian religion. the celebration of the resurrection. without the resurrection there is no christianity. the power of God being greater than the power of death. that is it, philosophically, in a nut shell.

in order to impress this on our children, here in what is supposedly a "christian" country, we give our children
stuffed yellow rabbits
and tell them
that
the stuffed yellow rabbit
laid
colored
hard boiled
chicken eggs
in the front yard.

do we have a philosophical and theological foundation or fucking what?


and we have easter "sales."

God so loved the world that He gave us his only begotten Son to be tortured and then crucified on a cross.

NOW if HE can that for us
the least we could do for you
is give THIRTY PERCENT OFF
on selected stereos in our stores!

we have ROLLED BACK THE STONE of higher prices!!!!
we have RISEN FROM THE DEAD THE PRICES OF OLD!!!!!!
BECAUSE
we want to SAVE YOUR money.

get it?
savior money.

oh, dem moneychangers in the temple.

happy Easter, everyone.

THE IMUS SHOW.

here we go again. racism raises it's ugly head. sexism comes right along. his excuse is that he was just trying to be funny. to quote the king in one of woody allen's movies, "just not funny!"
(i never can remember which one of the movies it was, but one of his earlier farces. i love woody allen) in my opinion, racism is a cancer eating at our collective national soul. we have to realize that we are all in this together and we will all either make or we all won't. that, to quote dr. martin luther king, jr., "an injustice to one is an injustice to all."

i just watched the tv interview with the rutgers women's basketball team. the average grade point of the team is 3.0. they were well spoken and represented themselves very well. rutgers is hard to get into and even harder to stay in. it has very rigid academic standards. these are bright, intelligent, gifted young women and not deserving of anything other than praise.

we can see in other parts of the world where peoples are divided by hatred, whether it be tribal or religious or national or race. in some countries they haven't learned to get fucking along. we surely do not want that to happen here in america. but racism could do the trick. beware.


ATLANTIC CITY

cold here. so were my cards first day. i had the experience of having bad cards and then playing them poorly. a recipe for losing. which i did.
