Nebraskan Paradise

Comment comment by LordDilly on 19 September 2007

Nebraska must be a paradise on Earth, with laws so perfect that the state legislature has nothing better to do so one of it's senators can engage in frivolous lawsuits trying to make some lame-ass point. "I'm going to sue a god that doesn't exist, I'm so clever ho-HO!" What next, is he going to sue Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too? Remember a long time ago we had a discussion about why people were "bigoted" against out-spoken atheists? (Points to Ernie Chambers, shakes head.) You guys need to get together and find new spokes-people. Possible a hot super-model with a penchant for losing articles of clothing.

Hear Hear!

It's kind of a similar complaint with the older (though still applicable to most current) hybrid/electric cars. Why did they have to make them so fugly? It's no wonder nobody bought them except hippies.

His lawsuit isn't any kind of atheist cause, either. Chambers isn't any kind of atheism activist. His main issues seem to be connected with civil rights and curbing what he sees as governmental stupidity. "Atheist" is just what he puts down when asked his religion.

Do you read the articles, or does the word "atheist" just shut off your brain? The article's first paragraph says he's trying to make a point about frivolous lawsuits. I, frankly, don't quite get what that point is, but it has nothing to do with theology.

Chambers is something of a character, but he seems to be a pretty effective one - he's been re-elected to the Nebraska state senate so many times (he's on his 10th term) that some claim the new term limit law in Nebraska was crafted specifically to push him out. His colleagues don't seem to much like him, but clearly his constituents do.

We've got 'em. How about Angela Jolie? Or if you want even more articles of clothing lost, Asia Carrera.
