May 05, 2012 Q. Comedy based on religion is always bound to offend, as it makes fun of people's fundamental beliefs. But that doesn't stop comedians from using religion in their routines. Recently, Jon Stewart's Daily Show caused an uproar because of a sketch slamming conservatives. And Egyptian comedy actor Adel Imam has been jailed for offending Islam in some of his movies. Television shows Park, Colbert Report and Guy regularly come under fire for poking fun at religion, with Guy slammed by the Parents Television Council and the Christian Coalition on an almost weekly basis. Australian stand up comedian Tim Minchin sparked protests after a show in Atlanta during which he sang an expletive packed song attacking the Pope over the Catholic child abuse scandal; he even managed to offend atheist attendees. The creators of Park received death threats after one episode featured Muhammad, causing Comedy Central to censor the second episode to protect staff. And Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was attacked with an ax after cartoons of Muhammad appeared in the Jyllands Posten newspaper in 2009. Given the often angry responses to religion based comedy, should religion be off limits to comedians? Oh, heck no! This is America, for crying out loud! I absolutely love it that comedians can joke about anything and everything. It's a matter of free speech. And if you can't laugh at stereotypes of your own faith, maybe you ought to do a little soul searching. The late comedian Steve Allen was once asked to define what comedy was. He said, plus time. And I believe he was right. The Titanic disaster 100 years ago was of course a huge calamity. Many died and many suffered. But look at the jokes we hear now that reference the Titanic. I've even heard politicians who, of course, never want to offend anybody, say things about legislation they don't like, and they say this: like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. anybody had said such a thing in 1912, he/she would have been thought insensitive. Now nobody bats an eye. Another example is Custer's Last Stand. That was a tragedy for Gen. George Armstrong Custer and all of his men, but comedian Bill Cosby got big laughs with his Toss routine. (Custer loses the coin toss, so he and his army have to let every Indian in the world run down on top of them.) So in my opinion, nothing should be off limits. However, that doesn't mean comedians don't need to think through stuff before they open their mouths. They could be putting their careers in jeopardy by not being sensitive to the current zeitgeist. But again, I believe this is a freedom of speech issue. Somebody may be an insensitive boor, but so far there is no law nor should there be bad taste. Again, this is America, where we revel in bad taste. What a country! The Rev. Skip Lindeman La Ca Congregational Church La Ca Flintridge Comedians use religion in their routines because it an important topic to virtually every person in the audience. It connects with us. It impossible to prevent them from expressing their thoughts if they determined to air them. That particularly true when the comedian is a fool. The fool denies God existence. He is rebellious and mocks the concept of sin. A fool rejects discipline and correction. Proverbs tells us about a fool speech. He not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind (18:2). A fool is a scoffer (1:22). His mouth only spouts folly (15:2). His is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul (18:7). So what do we do about the offensive words of fools? Leave them alone. They won receive correction anyway, and they only hate you more if you try it. babbling fool will be thrown down, says Proverbs 10:8. Jesus warned us all, careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgment (Matthew 12:36). But of course, that just the kind of expression fools love to mock. Pastor Jon Barta Valley Baptist ChurchOf course not. The loss of humor, the perception of humor as threatening, is yet another hallmark of the anxious age in which we live, a regressive society increasingly defined by its own self limiting fears..

With stock markets all over the world spurred by Ben Bernanke's boost, the other major news on Friday has gone almost unnoticed. Unitedhealth Group (NYSE:UNH) is replacing Kraft Foods (KFT) in the Dow 30 (NYSEARCA:DIA). The move was more due to the Kraft spin off, with doubts over the market cap of the "Mondelez" division. While addition/deletion from the indices used to have a much bigger impact on a company's stock price, this news hasn't sparked either a spike or a sell off. At the time of this writing, UNH is up about 0.65%, while KFT traded down by 0.3%. Marketwatch just published a piece that Unitedhealth has big shoes to fill, as Kraft is a well known dividend stock. This prompted us to take a look at how Unitedhealth's dividend prospects are and how the company stacks up against Kraft. Though the two companies operate in totally different spaces, this analysis might be helpful for those who look at indexing. Let us get into the details. Yield: Unitedhealth's current yield is about 1.6%, which pales in comparison to the stock it is replacing. Rising health insurance costs, while troubling for the public, are good for Unitedhealth and its peers. Source: United Health Dividend Prospects Disclosure: I am long PM.

The Clinton McCain Statement was important. That Ukraine is now on the border of the future is important. Partially for democracy in that land. Partially for democracy throughout the former Soviet reich. And partially to bring the world Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko. This photo, and more, available from Madame Prime Minister's gallery. Is it possible for any human being to be more like the ideal Dagny Taggart?Two politicians, neither of whom I want to be President, are both clear strategic thinkers. Their leadership has allowed millions in Georgia and Ukraine to reclaim their democratic system and to build a society based on law and individual rights. We believe that the actions of Presidents Saakashvili and Yushchenko testify to the power of peace and human rights in their battle against oppression. Recognizing these men with the Peace Prize would honor not only their historic roles in Georgia and Ukraine, but would also offer hope and inspiration to those seeking freedom in lands still denied it. The peaceful revolutions in Georgia and the Ukraine are heartening. It shows the continual yearning of eastern Europeans for democracy. From 1989 to 1991 they threw off the bonds of Communism. And now they are liberating themselves from goonish Russian influence. Perhaps soon the peaceful revolutions will spread to Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Muscovy itself. Grape 5s,We can pretend the Minnesota State Fair is all about butter princesses, deep fried stuff on a stick and hogs the size of Mini Coopers, but deep down, you know it's all about the people watching. The Minnesota Historical Society has hundreds of great photos featuring fair goers, carnies and vendors from fairs past. I had the opportunity to flip through a thousand or so of them for a recent Joe Kimball story and plucked a few out that screamed for a caption contest. MHS is pretty vague on the details (the photo was shot in 1947) just "two people weighing meat." Are they in the ag building, a young apprentice learning the art of butchery? A father and son making sausages at a church dining hall? Here are my captions. Maybe I'll pick a winner and send you a case of sausages or something. I said maybe! "Kid, someday all this 'making sausages at the Minnesota State Fair' will be yours!" "I said put yer thumb on the scale, not your whole arm, ya idiot!" "The year was 1947, and big sleeves, ear pencils and piles of sausage were all the rage." "The staring contest by the bratwurst scale was a top fair attraction until the rock paper scissors invitational in the pig barn captured Minnesotans' hearts."

Shop 2014 Newest Style Grape 5s,Black Infrared 13s The NCAA's announced objective to ensure that something like the Jerry Sandusky scandal never happens again at any university is certainly laudable and is attainable. But not by destroying a football program that has been a model program of academic success and following NCAA rules. And not by indicting an entire community that had nothing to do with what happened and whose track record of doing things for others including children (Thon, Lift for Life, Hershey Children's Medical Center) is nothing short of stellar. While our tears were still drying, Mr Davis leveraged his cronies at the Washington Post to again remind us that all 32 members of the board were unanimous in their agreement to terminate Joe Paterno. Employing political tactics at this time of mourning and in this case of child abuse is sickening. The immediate timing of the interview was nothing short of reprehensible.

There were three crucial acne brands since the idea of sports shoes were facade, they were Nikes, Adidas, and Converse. It was originally called Blue Ribbon Sports ensemble, and then came to be known as Nike. However, the most of Nikes glory is creditable to Air Jordan series of basketball shoes. Date back to the early 80s, at that time all the other companies had signed up contracts with infamous basketball stars. While Nike made an easily staggering strength, they signed with Michael Jordan, who is a recruit of the red Bulls panel. Sooner later, Michael Jordan become the most legendary and superb player in the NBA document. He is a legend; he can do something that uniform people cant do. His amazing jumping ability, power and gift, the most important is his brisk travel. Therefore the shoes named after Jordan are also become common in the world by all Jordan fans. Air Jordan 7 (VII) Retro Cardinals (White / Black Cardinal Red Bronze) are a mindful verdict for Nike to chosen Jordan as their spokesperson.
