Create a Great Funeral Day
Devil's Night
Haunted Refrigerator Night
Zero-Tasking Day
Reformation Sunday (Protestant)
Birthday - President John Adams' Birthday (2nd President) (and one of Amelia's favorites.  Not a very good president, but a bang-up intellectual)
Birthday - Emily Post (Author)

 

Oh, great.

 

It’s like everything stupid has coalesced into one putrid mass of destructive, disastrous idiocy.

 

A few revealing quotes:

 

“Are you ready to be a man? Are you ready to kick ass? Are you ready to grab your sword and say, ‘OK family, I’m going to lead you?’ Buckle up. This is GodMen!” – Christian Comedian Brad Stine psyching men up to take back the patriarchy.

 

Their purpose: to reassert masculinity within a church structure that they say has been weakened by feminization. – I had all sorts of clever things to say about “damn those women and their cry against being unappreciated, insulted, and devalued!”, but I can’t get past the looming Mount Doom that is exactly how much is wrong with the concept of “weakened by feminization.”

 

“No more nice guy, timid and ashamed/ We’ve had enough, cowboy up/ In the power of Jesus name/ Welcome to the battle/ A million men have got your back/ Jump up in the saddle/ Grab a sword, don’t be scared/ Be a man, grow a pair!” – Words to “Grow A Pair,” which may be a rewrite of a marching song from the Crusades.

 

This is what I get for clicking links to Newsweek.

A story, by me:

I went to a gaming convention not too long ago... the hotel where the con was being held had the poor foresight of also booking a Promise Keepers convention the same weekend. Saturday night, I decided to go over to the hotel's bar and get a drink of the fruity alcoholic kind. In said bar, I was hit on no less than 4 times by men who wore a wedding ring on their finger and a Promise Keepers badge on their shirt.

Hypocrisy, its alive and well!
