Bombers for Dialogue

savages the Presbyterian Church. And its very amusing.
Don't tell the Presbyterians about Tibet or Sudan. It would absolutely ruin their day.
The companies the church wishes to pressure include Caterpillar, which makes bulldozers purchased by the Israelis for the sole purpose of knocking down innocent homes of gentle lamb herders, and Motorola, which among other things sells night-vision goggles that give the Israeli Defense Forces an unfair advantage over people who want to smuggle in bombs to encourage the social-justice dialogue.
Murderous Tofu Eaters
Damn! So this explains my political views. Too much tofu.

'I found that if you made men more insecure about their masculinity, they displayed more homophobic attitudes, tended to support the Iraq war more and would be more willing to purchase an SUV over another type of vehicle,'

One Less Kafir
Over in West Philly, right beside the
Stop Snitchin' t-shirt was a fantastic one, reading
One Less Kafir. Nice clean white shirt, match my kippah! [Note did some reading - apparently Jews aren't really classed as kafir (non-believers) anyway, so it would technically be a accurate not ironic.]

It's a small planet and there just isn't room for everyone to keep their pet dairy cow.
Every year, the average dairy cow produces 19.3 pounds of gases, called volatile organic compounds, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District said. Those gases react with other pollutants to form ground-level ozone, or smog.
With 2.5 million dairy cows — roughly one of every five in the country — emissions of almost 20 pounds per cow mean that cattle in the San Joaquin Valley produce more organic compounds than are generated by either cars or trucks or pesticides, the air district said.
