Update XVIII: 15 Miles From Lunch

[Joe Biden 2020]

Lunch time.  Today has been another productive day.  I'm still on the project I was on yesterday and Friday.  I'm working my way down the list as efficiently as possible.  I'm paying attention to the detail while going as fast as I can.  I got a call this morning from the Indian Dental Clinic.  The dental office is on the opposite side of the building from the medical office.  Like the medical, the dent costs me nothing.  I have been on a waiting list to see a dentist since October 2013.  I finally have an appointment for February 2, 2015.

Focus on Dentistry.

It takes a year and a half to see a dentist? I certainly hope your teeth haven't been bothering you. I see a typical white man dentist and it's only about $100 to get my teeth cleaned and examined every six months. That's about the same price as the walking gear you bought and never used. Seems like a better deal than waiting a year and half, especially for a man you like you who likes throwing money around.

What about religion isn't misogynistic? The whole ball of wax is about a small number of men (specifically) controlling a population.

In my church women are total equals in all things including being pastors and leadership. And I would never join a church where this was not the case.

[Joe Biden 2020]

They wanted to get me in today, but I've missed too much work the past week so I need to put in some time before I go to the dentist.

What about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost? Can they be women also?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Bushie's Marian theology is terrible and disturbing.

How can anyone's theology be "disturbing" as long as it's not violent or anything? There is literally nothing wrong with any opinion over whether or not someone who lived 2000 years ago "sinned" or not.

It's disturbing not because it's wrong on the Immaculate Conception, although it is, but because it reduces Mary to a passive vessel with no real role or significance of her own. The Mother of God is not one of the axlotl tanks from Dune.

But what exactly would make that "disturbing"?  I guess you can consider it potentially misogynistic?

Which I find disturbing.

Do you think if your lord and savior was instead shoved up a teenage boy's bum bum and then became an immaculate butt baby that Bushie would view this person, let's call him Mark, with more reverance?

The age escalation for His Dear Grandmother reminds me of Santorum's 33 point loss in 2006.

I was thinking more of when McCain lost all 57 states in the 2008 general election.

It also reminds me of how Dukakis was ahead by 25 points on Labor Day in 1988.

And when Bushie was only 456 lbs  : (

Women, of course, are significantly more likely to be religious than men...

Let's have a terrific Atlas conversation as to why that may be.

That's, uh, too counterfactual for me to really be able to cogently answer yes, but the fact that I can't give in all honesty a firm no either troubles me.

I'm home from a productive day at work.  Tonight, instead of watching sports, I am going to watch a couple Christmas movies - The Muppet Christmas Carol and Rudolph.

How did you help your Grandma cook tonight?

[Joe Biden 2020]

How did you help your Grandma cook tonight?

I helped her with the dishes.  It was all cooked by the time I got home.

[Panda Express]

How did you help your Grandma cook tonight?

I helped her with the dishes. 

carrying the dirty dishes from the table to the sink for her to later clean =/= helping

I did all that and she washed the dishes while I dried the dishes.

What's your favorite song for The Muppet Christmas Carol?

At least when you were watching porn, that was age appropriate. I think it's the only adult thing you've done in all these years of Update.

Does the trauma caused by catcalling drive women into religious observance?  Discuss.

To be honest, I'd rather approach most everything about Christmas as a child.  All except for the presents.  Approaching Christmas as a child secures the joy and excitement as December 25 approaches.  I love approaching the celebration of the birth of my Savior Jesus Christ as a child.  In fact, Jesus commands us in the Gospels that we cannot enter the kingdom of God except with the heart and mind of a little child.  The reason is children are generally more trusting and less tainted by the world than adults.  That's why I embrace the child-like comparisons of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
