  More controversial op-art, this time from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Some people canceled or threatened to cancel subscriptions over this one.

• Thou art God! Few can grok this. Christ did when he said “the kingdom of the father is spread upon the earth and men do not see it” - Bob Marley got it too “Get Up Stand Up” / By the way I don't think Christ would buy into the whole Christianity thing.

• The best analysis I’ve ever seen of glossolalia (speaking in tongues) is a 1960 book by Felicitas Goodman, “Speaking in Tongues,” that examined four congregations in the US and Mexico that practiced it. The result was that glossolalial behavior tends to become regularized and conforms to cultural tradition. In short, there’s more sociology than divinity about the whole thing, which is characterized as a cross between mass hysteria and self-hypnosis. I’m not surprised her church practices it, but let’s call it what it is: a belief in magic, not in God. Or maybe a belief in a magical God. It’s still an extension of human desires rather than divine blessing.

• The cartoon only ran online because the Post has a policy against “perpetuating racial, religious, or ethnic stereotypes.” (they also didn’t print the Danish Muhammad cartoons)

  Even more controversial: Records and eyewitnesses have come to light that prior to announcing her candidacy for the Vice Presidency, Sarah Palin shot a Bigfoot from a helicopter.

  Hmmmm… A cartoon that criticizes and makes fun of a political figure… Is that sort of display of free speech allowed in this country anymore? The easily offended neo-con republicans that want apologies, and such things banned and censored, remind me of the Muslim reaction to the Allah cartoons (except for the overt violence). In general, it also reminds me of how religions are run: dissent and thoughtful critique are squelched and punished, while blind adherence and obedience are regarded as virtues and rewarded.

• Oliphant is a genius, and is always interesting. Palin- not so much.  And rallying a bunch of pentecostal idiots to complain about a cartoon doesn’t paint them in any better a light than supporting her in the first place.

• Palin calls Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colorful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for an article I received by email.  I wonder how that translates into the mentally retarded language of speaking in tongues. America is GOING DOWN and it’s VERY SAD.

• I’m a Southern Baptist, and even WE make fun of tongue-talkers. Who’s left to be outraged?
