Knowing how Lisa loves bears (or is it just Pandas?) I was wondering if she ever saw this when looking at our beautiful state

Upset with the Left
Read the post and find me in the comments. I didn't go nuts, but I said harsh things. I know he read it because he "liked" a comment I made in a post I commented on after that one. Judging from he has posted today, he didn't take it to heart. I basically said he was becoming Glen Beck, and it sucks because I called the senator dan brown the whole time so I looked like even more of an idiot. My sentiment was correct though.

Unbelievable
This cat can make my blood boil.
I'm an atheist so I've appreciated Paine for quite a while. Here are some quotes of his that I love, that I think Beck should read:
"Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man. "
"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."
"Is it not a species of blasphemy to call the New Testament revealed religion, when we see in it such contradictions and absurdities."
"It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes."
"That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not. "
"The Vatican is a dagger in the heart of Italy. "
My favorite: "One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests."
Beck's base should be fucking outraged on so many levels. Too bad they probably think he is a guy who makes movies for black people.

Lysacek took Gold
Unexpected, but I'm sure well deserved. I haven't seen it yet because NBC is an asshole corporation. Can you tell I have a problem with the lockdown of the peoples' competition? If I can find a link later I'll post it in the comments if you'd like to see it. Since it is the free skate, I'll make sure it is HD.
Do you enjoy that photo as much as I do? Go ahead, try to tell me a straight man approves that photo from a photo shoot.
Lily the Bear and Her Cub
I can't believe I hadn't already posted this. It's a wonderful site sponsored by the North American Bear Center in Ely, Minnesota. The page features Lily, a 3-year old female black bear. Lily just had her first baby about a month or so ago. There is a den live webcam and a wealth of fascinating information about black bears.
