New governor: Non-Christians 'not my brother,' 'not my sister' - The new governor has First Amendment rights to exercise his personal religion and the stated comments, but you really have to stop and think about how ignorant those comments are coming from the governor of a state. He represents everyone that is a citizen of Alabama, or at least he supposed to. His statements illustrate the divisiveness of religion in America and Evangelical Christianity in particular.
I lived in Alabama for nearly three years. There are a lot of good people there and it is only slightly more backwards than anywhere else in America, but I was very glad when I moved back to PA (which has it’s fair share of religious nuts).

PTEROSAURS 10 TIMES HEAVIER THAN BIGGEST BIRDS
The national media is typically overreacting to Ricky Gervais stint at hosting the Golden Globes. Two things: 1) they are wrong. It was funny and any actor who can’t take the jokes is a self-serious prick. 2) who the hell watches these awards shows? Anyway, here is every joke that Gervais told during the Golden Globes telecast. Not really that bad, I thought. Also, wait for the last 5 seconds of the show. “And thank you to god. For making me an atheist.”
On the plus side the Golden Globes and the Gervais controversy have given us this “Deal With It” gif.
