I love the cognitive dissonance from the xian receipt couple. They think an all powerful supernatural being put his face on their shopping receipt but they’d also like it to be scientifically tested to find out how it got there.

I think the receipt looks a bit like Charlie Manson.

You guys are all wrong – it’s plainly Blackbeard on that receipt. Shiver me timbers if it ain’t.

Re: google story

1. Didn’t books and later libraries have a similar effect – we didn’t have to remember the info any more

I sent Jesus an email earlier and he just got back to me; he says it wasn’t him, but rather Elijah.

Just thought y’all might like to know.

But it’s more of a human looking face than most Jesus on ….dog’s butt.

I am just laughing at the thought of some devotee kissing that image.

Jesus has the crazy eyes.

But it’s more of a human looking face than most Jesus on toast/water stain/dog’s butt.

Poppy seeds falsely flagged as opiates in blood test. Newborn removed from mother.

Somewhere someone is thinking, “We should outlaw poppy seeds. We’ll take that on right after we pass Caylee’s Law.”

I also thought the image looked like Manson, before even reading these comments. Just check the real Manson pic here:

Dave that sounds kind of like the guy in the niddle ages in Scotland who was boofing the King’s wife and was found with over a hundred stab wounds in his back. The Officials who investigated called it the worst case of suicide they’d ever seen.

Handcuffed man, breaks window with head, escapes police car and throws himself off bridge. Let me guess. The cops were the only witnesses, right?

That Greenwald story is a great reference story as well since people are always asking for proof that the media is turning into a government propaganda organ. As usual Greenwald nailed it.

“The City Council, unhappy about a civic betterment group, the Gould Citizens Advisory Council, apparently has adopted an ordinance “disallowing” the organization from existing and further declaring “no new organization” can be formed in Gould without council approval.”

Didn’t we all learn a lesson from Harry Potter…?
