Things That Make Me go, "Hmm"

Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA) has announced that he is officially an atheist. Of course, if you'll recall, Congressman Stark was also responsible for verbally abusing a constituent who had the audacity to question him in the form of a polite letter.

The American Humanist Association has certainly picked quite a mascot there...

HA ha!

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*A truly insightful and brilliant bit of analysis, on your part.

*Nice to finally see you stop by, MB! I'm sure that you've never fired a general snark in any general direction over in your territory, eh?

;-)

As they say, every story can't be the most important one in the world. This one barely ranks above Nelson, which, well, explains the "treatment" it got from me...

Feel free to stop by for one of my more "analytical" stories if you don't feel this one delivered. It's always a pleasure to hear from the opposition once in a while!

Regards,
Brian

*(Oh, by the way - am I to assume that you support politicians coming unhinged and verbally berating their consituents? Or are you the type that believes that we--the public--serve at the mere whim of our supposed "public servants?")

There - is that a more appropriate level of "analytics" for ya, MB?

:-)

Regards again,
Brian

*You can assume whatever you want - reasoning and general assessment of relevance don't seem to be your strong suits, so I'll not put too much effort into correcting whatever assumptions you make.

But, because I'm feeling generous, I'll point out a major difference between what you link and what you've done here. In my case, Virgil Goode opened his mouth and let spew ignorance, making an ass of himself (or a hero, in the view of some of his dimmer constituents). Here, Pete Stark (about whom I have little to no opinion*, as he's not been on my radar) responds to a questionnaire from an interest organization which you then try to tar by 1) linking it something completely irrelevant and 2) mischaracterizing the linked item so badly that (again!) your partisanship has outstripped your honesty/sensibility.

But hey, that makes you a great Republican. Congrats!


*beyond the fact that I think that was a great response to the constituent letter.

*Hey, if your parents named you "Fortney," you might be an atheist too! LOL
