Ask most devote Christians and they will say that Mormons are not Christians.

Yes but Mormons themselves, at least the ones I know, consider themselves to be Christian.

In my book, anyone who professes themselves to be Christian IS some type of Christian. Christians tend to disagree with this standard. The matter is rife with the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

Since how someone labels their religious beliefs forces no obligations on me, I don't care. And since there is no universally accepted sanctioning body I don't care if other people care.

Looks like we're going to go over the fiscal cliff. Can't wait to see how much more they will be taking out of my check. I'm almost thankful there's no hockey so I can axe cable without worrying about how I can catch games.

Is it weird that I'm a little disappointed at how pathetic Glenn Beck's big reveal was? I mean come on, with that build up, you gotta deliver some good crazy Glenn. You're not even trying anymore!

What did Glenn Beck reveal? I think you're the first time I've heard his name in months.

Last week, before the chasing and the shooting and the booming, he jumped on the "Foreign national in the hospital that is quietly being deported" bandwagon. He said he had proof that the government was investigating him in connection with the bombing (nevermind that the person in the hospital was NOT being deported, reports conflated 2 different people), and that if Obama didn't confess before yesterday, he'd release that proof.

Well the "proof" was a letter sent to Napolitano, signed by 4 GOP geniuses in congress that read (and I'm only slightly paraphrasing here), "You keep saying this guy isn't being investigated, and isn't being deported, but we TOTALLY heard on TV that he is. So you got some 'splainin' to do."

If you kick me in the balls and then offer me an ice pack, don't expect a lot of thanks.
