Do I Believe In God Today?

God: Well, or what happens when you image Google "God"God: Well, or what happens when you image Google "God"Every day, like Rod Stewart, I'm going to look to find a reason to believe. That's right: I'm questioning the existence of some kind of higher intelligence behind the workings of the universe ... based on things I find on the Internet. Yes, that's the tree I'm barking up.

There's a God!

*Choire's blogging over at Kottke.org about Kathy Acker and Maureen Dowd's party girl days.

*Someone finally realized that there should be a restaurant called "I Fucking Hate Monday's."

*The term "hatewatching" (usage: "The other day I was hatewatching Cashmere Mafia and I realized that the portrayal of gay men on those shows is not unlike the portrayal of African American mammies in films such as Gone with the Wind.") was coined.

There's No God!

*Former Indonesian dictator Suharto is still alive, in spite of having had several strokes, multiple organ failure, and now, pneumonia in one lung.

*While rushing to erect Trump SoHo, which a leading preservationist called "a monument to greed and hubris," three construction workers were injured and one died.

*"The biggest-selling album of the year was Josh Groban’s “Noël,” which sold 3.7 million copies despite being released in October."

Three vs. three -- jury's still out, I guess! We'll see what happens tomorrow.

God's work

Tragedy happens at a "monument to greed and hubris." Sounds like God to me. Isn't he always punishing big people by killing their little people?2 See Exodus, et cetera.

By my count...

...the score according to this list is 4 vs. 2.  Suharto is suffering, mang.  Several strokes, multiple organ failure, and pneumonia in one lung sounds pretty damn uncomfortable to me.  Death would be such sweet relief!
