Villagers burn woman accused of being witch
Fri, May 30 12:49 PM

BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) - An Indian woman accused of witchcraft was beaten, gagged and burnt to death in a remote eastern village, police said on Friday.

The woman was dragged out of her home, her hands and legs tied and taken to a crematorium where she was set on fire in front of the village which ignored her screams for help.

The incident took place in a tribal village in Orissa and occurred last week, but came to light on Thursday with the arrest of three villagers.

The victim was murdered by the husband and relatives of a neighbour whose death was blamed on her witchcraft.

Dozens of women are killed every year on suspicion of being witches or witch doctors in India, where superstition is widespread, especially in rural areas that lack an effective schooling system.

PRAYER

___________________________________________________________

I pray. But not to the arrogant, abomination that is the neolithic angry, vengeful, jealous god of the hebrews, arabs and christians. I pray not to an anthropomorphic deity that exists in the minds and literature of mankind. But I pray knowing it will be answered.

By whom? My detractors may ask and why, I respond with a question, does there need to be a named entity to listen to my prayers?

I pray because prayer works. Prayer is not cosmic email and it is not the invocation of supernatural beings. Prayer works by making me feel good. It helps alleviate suffering.

That's all it does, that's all I want it to do.

If causes and effects occur while praying that does not make the prayer a cause or an effect.

McCain Only Distanced Himself From This Ass Wart When Confronted By Political Critics

Karl Rove Finally Gets It

_____________________________________________________________

Like Puxatawney Phil, that poor little groundhog who can't even take a pee break every Feb in front of the entire country without the glare of our unholy media, it looks like Karl Rove has finally climbed out of his own asshole and seen the light.

Seen, not understood, per se. As heard on GMA this morning, Rove acknowledges that the Scott McClellan book, “What Happened” sounds like a Liberal blog. By god he finally gets it! Yes, you winking asshole, it is like we’ve been saying all along. This Administration is guilty of so many crimes that it won’t matter if our national media keep their own heads up their own and each other’s collective butts. The writers will start coming out of the woodwork. And if “What Happened” is how Bush’s own team will treat him, god help them all when the real historians get their shot.

And today, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said that the House Judiciary Committee would be willing to arrest Karl Rove if the former White House official doesn't testify about his role in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006.

Just under 7 months until the investigations can really begin. Now that's entertainment!

Over The Rainbow

MISCONCEPTIONS OF ATHEISTS

WHERE REAL MIRACLES CAN BE FOUND

I BELIEVE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Believe

I believe we are a good people. A people who inherently believes in the right of each of us to pursue happiness in our own way, to be free from the tyranny of intolerance, and free to pursue our own paths in this life without interference by society or government.

I believe we are a helping people. We send human and material resources as well as financial aid to any and all quarters of the world out of humanitarian concern regardless of whether victims are our friends or enemies.

I believe we are a people of opportunity. It is possible to lose everything in one year and then turn that around to fortune in the next.

I believe we are a welcoming people. We have a statue that celebrates that aspect of our humanity. We have been the light in the dark, sometimes the last hope, in a world of endless misery for some. And we have taken in the world’s broken and it has made us stronger as a nation.

These are the ideals that have set us apart from the rest of the world.

But we have lost our way.

We have allowed the weakest minds in our society to set social policies that move 10 percent of us to the fringe once again. We still come up with unique and socio-religious reasons to deny the last segment of our society the full rights they deserve. Defending marriage by denying it to homosexuals no more defends marriage than outlawing barbeques in New York keeps fires from burning in Los Angeles.

We have allowed a criminally negligent administration to make news when sending aid to earthquake and flood ravaged nations that are our philosophical enemies, not to mention the wholesale destruction and rebuilding of Iraq, and we have let our own sister, New Orleans, to lay ravaged, dying, bleeding in the gutter. For this alone should our president stand trial. But he won’t.

We champion free markets when it comes to individuals, allowing financial institutions to fee us to death and change our interest rates all in the name of capitalism and free markets at work, and then we provide welfare to the largest financial institutions when these same practices backfire. It’s like being a little bit pregnant. Doesn’t happen. Either we have a free market in which case Bear Stearns can die, or we don’t. And yes, it is just that simple. Once again, the many pay for the frivolity of the few.

We have allowed men like Lou Dobbs a platform to sell books, fear, and permission to hate. This self-righteous fear mongerer is so eager to build a fence to keep our Latino neighbors out that he can’t see how this will also keep the rest of us in. Or maybe that’s the idea. Meanwhile, the Statue of Liberty weeps while Lou Dobbs goes to the bank. What a gig.

This is the year of change. It will come about in one of two ways. We have the fortune and opportunity for America to put its money where its mouth is. Land of the free, home of the brave, opportunity for all. Obama represents that symbolically and in point of fact. I believe he will begin the process of cleaning out America’s attic, and basement, and closets. And if we give him a second term, maybe the windows as well. The other candidates represent the opposite. They belong to the last century. They are truly good people, I believe. But they have stayed on stage just long enough to make many of us uncomfortable. It’s time to lower the lights. If that doesn't work, there's the second way.

Public Service Announcement - Petro And Other Home Oil Distributors Might As Well Start Packing.

I do have to drive to work. I don't have to heat my home with oil any longer.

NEWS TO HOME OIL DELIVERY COMPANIES

- no one can afford your product. I have already purchased ceramic room heaters based on the price of your product today.

I will be draining my radiators in the fall.

Come next winter when it's double, will there be anyone without a ceramic room heater? The home oil heating business just died. And with it all the support business that sell oil tanks, heaters, service them, etc.

Our god damned president had 8 years to formulate an energy policy. Thanks to the red state toothless folks who don't want that gay agenda with those abortion clinics open on every corner and who find Osama hiding behind every Bush. I remember him chastising Clinton because gas spiked over a dollar. What a fucking hypocrite, lying bastard, worthless piece of fucking human garbage. I wish there was a hell because then I'd have the satisfaction of knowing he would ultimately get his due. But there isn't and he won't.

This president belongs in jail.

You Have To Love This Guy

KIND OF LIKE JESUS

If you didn't have a reason to shun the Republican nominee before, you now do.

Apparently there are those, down south, who believes the nominee has a lot in common with Jesus Christ.

Georgia Republican Party chairwoman Sue Everhart said Saturday that the party's presumed presidential nominee has a lot in common with Jesus Christ.

"John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross," Everhart said as she began the second day of the state GOP convention. "He never denounced God, either."

"I'm not trying to compare John McCain to Jesus Christ, I'm looking at the pain that was there," she said. Well, uh, actually, it sounds like you are making that comparison, Susie. You know, using the word "like" and all. Must have been home schooled.
