And it just gets worse

First, Rick Santorum ended up a mere 8 votes away from winning the Iowa caucus on Tuesday night.

Now, "Christians for a Moral America" (CFAMA) endorses him. (He was actually the group's second choice, but bat-sh**-crazy Michele Bachmann dropped out of the race so they needed to find some other ultra-right-wing, bible-thumping, come-to-Jesus kind of candidate to back while spouting their anti-everything agenda.)

Ever heard of CFAMA? Piece of work. The group recently posted on Twitter a shout-out to pray for the death of British singer and former Wham! frontman George Michael, during his recent bout with pneumonia. And I quote: "Pray for George Michael's demise. He has chosen a satanic lifestyle and must meet an appropriate end."

This is one of many reasons why being a Christian is, frankly, unappealing to me. Why would I want to associate with people who claim to be bearers of Christian love, yet clearly are driven by nothing more than hate hate hate. I spent about five minutes on the CFAMA blog and couldn't take it any longer. I was queasy and dirty and felt the need to shower. How can people just spew this garbage and send it out? And how can recipients suck it all in and come back for more?

For example, this group came up with its Anti-America Hate Group List 2012.

1. Liberals (Liberals, they say, are part of every group in the "cesspool"--prostitutes, homosexuals, pedophiles, muslims, jews, illegals, atheists, and feminists--so I'm not sure why they bothered to make a list of 5...Liberal seems to sum it up).

2. Atheists

3. Homosexuals

4. Muslims

5. Feminists

Did you make the list? I made the list -- a COUPLE times! I'm in the cesspool! Wanna join me?

But seriously, I would advise you not to click on the blog link. Don't give them extra hits to their site. I can tell you, among the other filth I found there, was an "expose" on sodomy titled "Lifting the Lid: The Dark World of Homosexuality PART 2" (complete with picture of a manhole cover labeled "sewer"), a post on how "America must invade Iran to ensure our survival," and a plea to "Boycott GLEE" (yes, the American musical comedy-drama TV series on FOX that focuses on a high school glee club competing in show choir...singing, dancing devil's spawn).

Apparently, though, God doesn't listen to these dimwits. Yay, God! George Michael survived. He's alive and well. Which is more than I can say for CFAMA's Twitter account; I heard it has been deactivated. I didn't bother to confirm. I don't care to know any more about how much hatred can be spread in 140 characters or less.

For an alternate view, check out the site Jesus is a Liberal. According to this group, which, interestingly, worships from the same Bible as the CFAMA, Jesus's teachings "outline a Liberal, Progressive, Tolerant, Loving, Open-Minded, Holistic, and Sustainable Vision for our World."

Amen to that.

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.
