Then perhaps legislation authorizing torture of journalists?

The text was far more Log Cabin Republican than left-wing pacifist.

But let's be honest here, Hank, shall we? You responded only because you wanted to post the half-naked swarthy guy, right?

Bet board support for a month it came as a satire from one of Tys pet sites?

Actually, the poster came from this gallery, which is located at this website. I looked at the properties after your post and recognized about.com immediately.

But if you think you're as broke as I am right now, I'll let you off.

If I were currently employed, I'd pay a month's support just because it's been a while since I anted up.

read your first link, then go back and edit- I'll talk to RT about withdrawing the bet.
  • As outrageous as the Christian Right's overall agenda is, their specific arguments and beliefs can be worse. I have written many articles exploring the arguments and beliefs advocated the Christian Right in order to reveal just how awful, and awfully absurd, they can be. Mere words, though, cannot always convey the true absurdity of a position. Even the most carefully reasoned argument will not carry the emotional impact of the original ideas being dissected.

    Visual imagery, though, can often communicate ideas more quickly than words and convey emotions more immediately than any argument. For that reason I have created propaganda posters which promote some of the beliefs of the Christian Right. The intention is satirical, not sympathetic, but even so I believe that both the images and the words accurately reflect what some on the Christian Right belief and advocate.

you think this guy voted for W?

The bet had nothing to do with whether or not the guy was a liberal or a conservative. You bet me that it came from one of Ty's pet sites.

First, it's not a blog. Second, the site itself, which includes the entirety of the pages associated with the primary URL is a general information site. Third, go ahead and find a couple of prior citations. If you can, I'll pay up. If you can't, then you can let RT decide if a single citation makes it a "pet site."

Wonk,

You know that score Hank keeps? He considers it a win whenever anyone responds to him. You've been sockered yet again.

I know about Hank and his score. What I didn't know was that he welshes on bets.

You know, it didn't occur to me that that was the derivation of the term. Now I feel so ashamed.

In Hankland, Hank always wins, even when he loses.

I found that site today, and to the best of my knowledge had never been there before. Thanks for your support for the board.

Oh, and Episcopalianism and athiesm technically are somewhat different.

No, you didn't use that word. You said: "Bet board support for a month it came as a satire from one of Tys pet sites?"

Shit. Now I'm responding to you, too. I lose.
