Lame Crimson Tide Shirts Employ Violent Homophobic Taunt

Some Alabama Crimson Tide fans are really banking on a defeat of LSU on Jan. 9, because they have a lot of really classy shirts to sell.

Stay classy, sports fans!

They apparently think it's a) okay to call opponents 'homos,' and b) okay to beat the hell out of 'homos.'

The Website heyhomeauxs.com is promoting the sale of shirts declaring Alabama the winner, and employing a lame, homophobic play on words, and a suggestion that it's cool to beat the hell out of gay people.

Elsewhere on the site, where submitted questions are answered:

"So how about changing the colors of the shirt to purple and gold and having the correct score. Maybe adding the wording "Those coonasses kicked your teeth in"."
-W.J.

The proprietors respond:

Sorry, but we do not encourage violence.

Suddenly, I'm a huge LSU fan.

Pat Robertson: God Told Me Who The Next President Is, But I'm Not Supposed To Tell You

The Nostradamus of our time.

Pat Robertson, who is batting below the Mendoza line in prophecy, has some new prophecies for 2012.

Pat speaks to the Lord on a regular basis, and gets all kinds of inside information. Kind of like Martha Stewart and Peter Bacanovic.

Today on the 700 Club, Pat passed on some of his inside info. He said that God told him who would be president (but he can't share that info). He also lets us in on the fact that God is not fond of Obama, and that we may be in for some economic hard times. Imagine that.

I spent the better part of a week in prayer and just saying, ‘God show me something,’ some things I’ll share with you. I think he showed me the next me the next president but I’m not supposed to talk about that so I’ll leave you in the dark—probably just as well—I think I’ll know who it will be. I’m going to read just as I wrote down as if I’m hearing from the Lord these words.

Your country will be torn apart by internal stress, a house divided cannot stand. Your president holds a radical view of the direction of your country which is at odds with the majority, expect chaos and paralysis. Your president holds a view that is at odds with the majority, it’s a radical view of the future of this country, so that’s why we’re having this division. This is a spiritual battle which can only be won by overwhelming prayer. The future of the world is at stake because if America falls, there’s no longer a strong champion of freedom and a champion of the oppressed of the world. There must be an urgent call to prayer. The Lord said, a time of maximum stress and peril, greater than at any time since the CBN ministry began. This country will begin disintegrating.

I started thinking, when did we start this place? We started CBN in 1960, you think of all the things that went on, you had the assassination of the president, assassination of Martin Luther King, you’ve got a war in Vietnam, you’ve got all these things, He is saying you will have worse stress than before. So I’m saying, God, let me give you some suggestions and you tell me if any of them is right, pick one. I said, is it an EMP blast? No that isn’t it. Is it a cosmic or solar or radiation blast? No. Is it Mayan galaxy alignment? No. Is it Iranian or North Korean nuclear threat? No. Is it an earthquake or a volcano? No. Is it a massive power failure? No. What is it? It’s an economic collapse. And God said, This is not my judgment, they are bringing it upon themselves.

New Ad Compares Michele Bachmann To Tim Tebow

A new campaign ad compares Michele Bachmann to Tim Tebow.

The ad highlights the establishment's incessant criticism of both figures, as well as the fact that both are born again Christians.

A few similarities they left out:

• Both have suffered repeated losses after inexplicable streaks of success.
• Both currently seem unable to find the end zone.
• Despite their devout Christian faith, both seem completely oblivious to Matthew 6:5.
• Both are unfit to be president.

Santorum Salad: Iowa Restaurant Names Dish After Santorum, Ruins Appetites

bleargh...

Anyone who has ever googled Santorum likely gagged while reading the above headline.

The owners of the Pizza Ranch in Boone, IA, have named their chicken salad after Rick Santorum, after learning that the GOP hopeful liked it.

The owners have not stated how long they will keep the name if Santorum loses the nomination.

I imagine not very long.

Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) On God's Design Of Baby Teeth

In case you missed it, Los Angeles Laker Ron Artest has changed his name to Metta World Peace.

For real.

Anyway, Metta, who wears the number 37 in honor of Michael Jackson, has become quite spiritual (duh).

Here is World Peace, discussing the beauty of God's design, which allows us to lose our baby teeth when we're young, rather than later in life:


While Ron/Metta has a lot to learn about the evolutionary reasons for deciduous teeth, I can at least appreciate the name change.

Carl Sagan's Cosmic Calendar, Remastered: 13.7 Billion Years Of The Universe Cast Into A Single Calendar Year

The Cosmic Calendar casts the 13.7 billion year lifetime of the universe into a single calendar year, and was popularized by Carl Sagan on his television series Cosmos, and in his book The Dragons of Eden.

I've previously posted about The Cosmic Calendar. It's a wonderful tool for truly appreciating the vastness of time -- something with which we humans have difficulty.

In a new rendition of The Cosmic Calendar, remastered in HD by Milky Way Musings, Sagan presents the history of the universe and the emergence of life on Earth in a mere 11 minutes.

24 Purity Resolutions From Porn Addiction Ministry 'Porn to Purity'

Are you struggling with sexual sin? Are you looking to make a big change in the new year?

Look no further.

Porn to Purity, a ministry and website devoted to helping people recover from porn addiction has a list of 24 purity resolutions for 2012.

The organization is run by Jeff and Marsha Fisher. Jeff was a minister at the time that he was caught storing porn on his work computer. He and his wife 'had to leave the area,' according to Jeff. You can read his story here.

Seeing as Jeff and Marsha are people of God, so their resolutions are kinda God-oriented.

OK, a lot God-oriented.

Here goes:

1. I resolve to go to a Christian counselor for the first time.
2. I resolve to go to a sexual support group for the first time.
3. I resolve to read a book on sexual purity. Anything from Laaser, Carnes, or Weiss is awesome!
4. I resolve to fully disclose my sexual struggles to another person of the same gender.
5. I resolve to read my bible everyday asking God to help me with my sexual struggles.
6. I resolve to put Covenant Eyes (accountability software) on all of my computers.
7. I resolve to have a friend block the questionable channels on my TV.
8. I resolve to throw away all DVDs with sexual content or nudity.
9. I resolve to stop surfing through the Sunday circulars for sensual material.
10. I resolve to throw away or unsubscribe to all magazines that get me sexually excited.
11. I resolve to allow someone to keep me accountable to my I-Tunes downloads.
12. I resolve to not go see any movies without researching them on a site like Plugged In.com
13. I resolve to keep looking for an accountability partner until I find a good one.
14. I resolve to let my minister know about my sexual struggles and be a part of my “safe” team.
15. I resolve to get rid of any music that is sexual explicit or stimulating.
16. This year I resolve to call someone everyday so I can stay connected and stay pure.
17. This year I resolve to dump my girlfriend / boyfriend who is hindering my desire to be sexually pure.
18. This year I resolve to make sure my home and work computer are in public view.
19. This year I resolve to get some help from a counselor so I can stop masturbating.
20. This year I resolve to dress in a way that is modest and doesn't cause a stumbling block to others.
21. This year I resolve to value others instead of objectify. Somebody’s daughter. Somebody’s son.
22. This year I resolve to begin jotting my feelings and struggles in a journal or blog.
23. This year I resolve to have a purity plan in place every time I travel.
24. This year I resolve to ask Jesus to heal me from the emotional ties I have to old boyfriends / girlfriends.

In other words, avoid getting horny, or doing/watching/hearing/anything that might make you remotely horny, outside of the horny (but Christian) stuff you do with your significant other.
