  1. I remember a long time ago taking an aptitude test to sort out what career path I might choose.
    The results indicated that music instructor or minister were likely to be the most fruitful paths for me.
    Back then I couldn't read music, and I was an atheist, so I remained adrift.
    Now that I still can't read music -- but love it in just about all of its forms -- and am willing to consider myself an agnostic, should I consider becoming a televangelist?
    I even have a name picked out: The Reverend Oral Anal. (For those who remember Oral Roberts.)

  9. Pat Robertson has died. Ding-dong!

    (Feel free to read that as a Wizard of Oz reference or just as me calling the former Rev. Robertson a complete ding-dong.)

    I hope his hate-spewing "700 Club" TV show will either vanish or mend its ways soon. Headline from Rolling Stone's coverage:

    Adnan Oktar gets 8,658 years, which seems a tad … redundant?

    For academic background on Oktar’s / Harun Yahya’s enterprise and message, see Anne Ross Solberg’s carefully contextualized and titillatingly titled study “The Mahdi Wears Armani” (2013), available at sh.diva-portal.org/smash/get/d (it precedes these trials and the Gülen coup attempt, though, and you’ll have to look elsewhere for “sex cult” exposés).
