Irregular Times: News Unfit to Print Logo

It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of barricaded roads and new paths. Maps fade and direction is lost as we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we pass, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Gone are the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

God’s Judgment on the Sodomites of DC: Mild and Hurricane-Free
posted 16th December 2009 in Politics, Religion, Sex and Gender, State and Local by Jim

Fundamentalist after fundamentalist after fundamentalist after fundamentalist after fundamentalist after fundamentalist Christian has trotted up to the microphone in years past to declare that the weather is the vehicle of God’s judgment regarding gay people and the societies that welcome or bash them.

Yesterday, the Washington DC City Council cast the second and final vote to legalize same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia. So what was the weather in Washington, DC yesterday? In a cold month, it was actually a fair bit warmer than average with a high in the upper 50s. No hurricanes descended upon the city or the secular-humanist bedroom communities that surround it. Also no tornados, microbursts, hailstorms, tsunamis, ice storms, plagues of locusts or swarms of frogs. No hordes of invading calamari or gigantic falling pancakes, either.

If this God fella really uses the weather to mete out his judgment, then He just doesn’t seem all that bothered by the legalization of same-sex marriage. Maybe He’s got other things to take care of in His busy schedule, like getting His toes buffed. Or maybe He is just a fictional character. No, it can’t be that. It must be the pedicure.
