General Petraeus

Look out, JC Christian!

David Petraeus is gunning for the job of Jesus' General:

Gen. David Petraeus is used to controversy surrounding the war in Iraq, but his publicized thoughts on an Army chaplain's book for Soldiers put him squarely in the middle of the ongoing conflict over religious proselytizing in the U.S. military.

The book is "Under Orders: A Spiritual Handbook for Military Personnel," by Army Chaplain (Lt. Col.) William McCoy, and according to Petraeus' published endorsement of the work, "it should be in every rucksack for those times when soldiers need spiritual energy."

I understand the Catholic Church is now adopting its liturgy to allow for the transubstantiation of Snickers bars.

is all over this one.

I'd like to say that I had confidence that a new administration would address the issue of forced Christianization of our military, but with Obama pandering to exactly that crowd, I don't think so. And McCain is hopeless.

How "Strangelove" and "2001" are really the same movie. I knew that Kubrick originally planned for "2001" to end with bombs destroying the earth as the Starchild evolved mankind into a new species, but I hadn't before connected how similar General Ripper and the HAL 9000 were in their motivations: power needed to be wrested from the mortals who possessed it and used with extreme dispassion.
