Jesus Died For You, But He Totally Could Have Put You In A Headlock If He Hadn’t

  • If the Phillies win the World Series, Charles Schumer will give Arlen Specter a cheesecake and Kristen Gillibrand. BUT, if the Phillies lose the World Series, Charles Schumer will give Arlen Specter Kristen Gillibrand. Quite the wager. [The Caucus]
  • Remember that part in the Bible — Chapter 3? — when Jesus decides to clothesline a downtrodden leper, who only wanted a glass of water and maybe a few soothing words to ease his suffering? That was really out of character, but a superb plot twist. [True/Slant: Harmon Leon]
  • Gorbachev talks about the Nobel Peace Prize, Barack Obama, and his upcoming solo album. [The Cable]
  • You have every right to be angry that Columbia students made a very offensive rap about FOX news, but at least be happy that you are not flushing $80,000 down the toilet in J-school. [Gatway Pundit]
  • Hezbollah cooked up a two-ton bowl of hummus and then invited the entire Middle East to the grandest hummus party in recorded history, while Israel — who for obvious reasons was not invited — sat at home and sulked. [Matt Yglesias]

    MY HUMMUS IS BIGGER THAN YOUR HUMMUS

  2. user-of-owls says at 5:06 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Roughing the Leper on the Almighty, half the distance to the goal. Repeat first down.

  3. Seeing as hummus is not cooked, Israel should feel relieved - it was obviously some sort of Hezbollah practical joke.

  4. chascates says at 5:09 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Body slammin’ for Jeebus! He loved grappling! Greco-Roman!

  5. Come here a minute says at 5:09 pm, October 26th, 2009

    I prefer Hamas hummus.

  6. badmuthagoose says at 5:14 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Meh. I live in the South and the whole Rasslin’ for Jesus melodrama is SO played out. That part of Georgia is a bit behind the trend line in the “Do Anything to Get Warm Bodies In Your Church” game.

    Nowdays, they entice the teens in with promises of chugging a lot of Red Bull and then doing spontaneous poetry slams all about how much they love Jesus. While bug-eyed, shaking, and sweating. Then they buy a $25 t-shirt to commemorate the action and have to write down the names of 100 friends they can bring to the next SPEED 4 JESUS do.

  7. Humpback says at 5:14 pm, October 26th, 2009

    I’ll take that Kristen Gillibrand if you’re not going to eat it.

  8. Extemporanus says at 5:15 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Sorry Israel, but this is what happens when you hummus a few bars. No more karaoke for you!

  9. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:18 pm, October 26th, 2009

    So I’m just wondering: if all the Gateway Pundit commentators shut their mouths, would they all die of oxygen deprivation?

  10. Criticizing Fox News is a Crime Against Journalism. Those Columbia students are going to have their press passes revoked before they even get them.

  11. Extemporanus says at 5:19 pm, October 26th, 2009

    user-of-owls: That type of foul can get one exfoliated from the Game.

  12. bitchincamaro says at 5:19 pm, October 26th, 2009

    My brother “lived” in Winterville, GA and couldn’t wait to get the fuck out. Now I see why. Trouble is, he moved to Butthole, Maine.

  13. AggieDemocrat says at 5:20 pm, October 26th, 2009

    badmuthagoose: It hasn’t been the same since Kerry Von Erich died.

  14. badmuthagoose says at 5:21 pm, October 26th, 2009

    AggieDemocrat: I know, right?

  15. RoscoePColtraine says at 5:22 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Meh. Back in the old testament, the rasslin’ went on all night long. And ended up with more splooge.

  16. badmuthagoose says at 5:22 pm, October 26th, 2009

    bitchincamaro: I hear Butthole is lovely in the fall.

  17. SayItWithWookies says at 5:28 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Homoeroticism in the service of fundamentalist religion — okay, I’ve seen it all now.

  18. user-of-owls says at 5:29 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Extemporanus: Are you implying a point-shaving scandal?!

  19. user-of-owls says at 5:30 pm, October 26th, 2009

    RoscoePColtraine: That was in the Book of Rumblers, right?

  20. Extemporanus says at 5:30 pm, October 26th, 2009

    user-of-owls: No, more like an illegal hand-off.

  21. chascates says at 5:35 pm, October 26th, 2009

    From a Gateway commentor:
    This seals the deal for me, my kids will never attend one of these so called Ivy League schools. They are havens for communists. It’s disgraceful what some so called American citizens have become. I wish they would all move to Cuba and get out of our lives, they’re like a cancer on this country.

    I’m just guessing your kids will >b>not have to worry about being admitted to an Ivy League school. Better am for one of those bible colleges in the hills someplace.

  22. Come here a minute says at 5:38 pm, October 26th, 2009

    I wonder if the object of that wager is any relation to Kirsten Gillibrand. Specter can have her, too.

  23. user-of-owls says at 5:46 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Extemporanus: Which could make a huge difference if it was a single-digit game.

  24. assistant/atlas says at 5:46 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Did anyone watch that journalism/Fox rap video thingie? Are j-schools now located in churches from the future?

  25. Barrett808 says at 5:48 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Clean Smells Promote Moral Behavior, Study Suggests

    But the sidebar photo of Prof. Katie Liljenquist sure promotes unclean thoughts in me…

  26. user-of-owls says at 5:50 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Extemporanus: user-of-owls: Could allow the underdog to nose out a victory.

  27. PoignancySelz says at 5:59 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Barrett808: Oh yeah, just click the enlarge button, yo, she could play in my foursome anyday…

  28. Extemporanus says at 6:00 pm, October 26th, 2009

    user-of-owls: Such a face-off rarely ends in sudden death, especially when the star quarterback throws his arm out.

  29. Lazy Media says at 6:01 pm, October 26th, 2009

    J-school is the new fine arts degree. In the future, all news will be reported by independently wealthy dilettantes.

  30. Lazy Media says at 6:03 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Mahousu: Try making hummus with uncooked, dry chickpeas. Canned chickpeas are ALREADY cooked.

  31. gurukalehuru says at 6:04 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Bondage! These chains represent bondage! To be fair, he didn’t actually make it sound like that was a bad thing.

  32. PoignancySelz says at 6:06 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Extemporanus: Or gets crucified.
    I’ve always wanted to see Jesus playing college football.
    OOh he breaks the huddle in his tunic and crown of thorns and back hands the centers spandex ass.

  33. user-of-owls says at 6:08 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Extemporanus: With all the face-masks and dropped balls, it’s amazing Molokai High receivers managed to shed enough coverage to rack up so many yards.

  34. Jim89048 says at 6:08 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Barrett808: BYU. Go figure.

  35. user-of-owls says at 6:11 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Lazy Media: Swear to magog when I first read it, I thought you were suggesting a variation on Hannibal Lecter’s recipe, substituting ‘uncooked, dry chickpeas’ for fava beans.

  36. Lazy Media: Duh. But as the article makes clear, they started with pre-cooked - in fact, pre-mashed - chickpeas.

  37. Gorby! That picture’s scary. He looks like Dick Cheney would, if Dick Cheney were mellow.

  38. Considering that any first grader (or even two cats) can make a video lampooning Fox News, those students deserve a big fat F.

  39. lawrenceofthedesert says at 6:39 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Splotchychev is still good at talking outta both sides of his flapper, which he should stuff with hummus. Kristen, otoh, might want to become more hummusphobic and sveltomaniac. Israel should stick with pastrami, which builds character. Columbia students should eat whatever they want, except for on camera talent, and dance all night on top of Faux News. Their group could be called Hummus & Jethro. Or not.

  40. Extemporanus says at 6:45 pm, October 26th, 2009

    user-of-owls: Yeah, the Molokai High Lazars showed real guts, and definitely deserved to come out ahead: They kept their eyes on the prize, ran their asses off, and fought tooth and nail until the very end.

    Now if you’ll please excuse me, I really need to take a knee. (Hey, there’s one!)

    PoignancySelz: Every play would be a Hail Mary, and every reception Immaculate.

  41. DangerousLiberal says at 6:47 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Ok, let me see….right wing nutter site. Weird latin shit on top with a crucified Jeezus. And a banner ad on the right for….books? From alibris.com? WTF? Maybe the Latin threw them off. Or they’re having a sale on the Index Prohibitorum. Except for being Papist, it fits these assklowns perfectly.

  42. user-of-owls says at 7:36 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Extemporanus: Like the coach said, they left everything on the field.

  43. hobospacejunkie says at 8:03 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Lazy Media: Hear, hear. Spending $$, any $$ at all, on j school is like hoarding Deutsch Marks or French Francs. It costs you a ton of money to collect something that is ultimately worthless, plus everyone you lnow or meet is entitled to laugh heartily at your expense.

  44. artpepper says at 8:06 pm, October 26th, 2009

    College students are writing “raps”? What next, angsty poems?!?

  45. couchbound says at 8:40 pm, October 26th, 2009

    Barrett808: Squeegee Mama!

  46. LowerdPeninsula says at 11:43 pm, October 26th, 2009

    College students bashing FOX as part of a class project? Why, I never! Some getting me my smell salts; I’m getting the vapahs, I do say.

    I agree with JSDC007. This shit is a dime-a-dozen. An epic “F” for being so pedestrian and cliched. You’re fired, Columbia J-School.

  47. zaccapeters says at 2:46 am, October 27th, 2009

    I’m not going back to church until they have glory hallelujah holes.

  48. Extemporanus says at 3:10 am, October 27th, 2009

    user-of-owls: And the Owls beak out a win!

  49. LowerdPeninsula says at 4:20 am, October 27th, 2009

    zaccapeters: They already do; it’s called the confessional. Hey-Yo!

  50. LowerdPeninsula says at 4:22 am, October 27th, 2009

    But, really, guys, everyone should try fucking with their priest by talking dirty-sexy to him during a confessional at least once in your life. Oh, and do it in a the voice of a little boy or girl; hell get as much satisfaction out of it as you will, maybe even more.

  51. BklynIlluminati says at 12:36 pm, October 27th, 2009

    MMMMMMm cheesesteaks….GO YANKS!
