I'm not a racist, but I'm going to make judgments on race.

Somewhere's friend posted this link about a justice of the peace who denied an interracial couple a license on FB, and I love it. Here is my favorite line:

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

For starters, how about some activist judging, huh? Nice that he did his own study on which marriages work and which don't. That's some serious ex parte communication, no?

What I really like though is that it reminds me of the guy on Survivor: "Look, she's from the ghetto, and she's trashy, so she's ghetto trash. . . She's not a lady. She's a bitch."

My relatives are going to love this!

Conservapedia (the conservative Wikipedia? really?) is apparently fed up with crappy Bible translations and has thus decided to translate it how they want to. Also, it says the NIV is written on a 7th grade level. No surprise there, I guess. Sigh.

Lawyers and Dentists and Birthers - oh my!

Today's Post has an article on a woman who is a big name in the birther movement. She's a lawyer, so she's represented some of the people who believe they should not have to be deployed because Obama's not a legitimate commander in chief. So far, her cases have been dismissed. Her core argument is that being a natural born citizen requires more than just being born in the U.S. It requires that one be born to two parents who are also U.S. citizens.

Also, she thinks Obama was born in Kenya, and his mother faked his Hawaii birth certificates. Naturally. Furthermore, she thinks that there are about 600 FEMA concentration camps where the government keeps dissident citizens.

And on the side, she's a dentist. (WTF?)
