Easter is less a retcon than it is the result of one culture eating another. Still not originally Christian, though.

Then what pray tell is it from?  What is the festival celebrating the fact that people go to heaven when they die that the Christians took it from?

...the spirits of people have been ascending to the heavens/into the sky/what have you since the very first tribal religions formed. C'mon, man.

Furthermore, I'd really rather the Toady One not get involved in this, as religious debates flamewars tend to get threads locked. Let's drop it, shall we?

[Sowelu]

We are clearly arguing past each other, trying to prove different points that the other side has already accepted.  Nothing left to be said here.

[GlyphGryph]

I like the cut of your penguin hair, Sowelu.

Let us move on. (especially since the pagan traditions of Easter are incredibly obscure due to the whole "easter goddess" hoax pulled by those middle ages pranksters)

Does anyone actually have election news? Whats the current polls look like? Does Romney have a chance?

I /think/ this is the same guy I followed at the last election.  http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/  He wasn't working for the NYT then, but if it is the same guy, I'll still trust him now.

[sluissa]

It probably is the same guy. I believe he got hired on by the NYT right around the 2010 Elections. Still seems to be the same and NYT seems to be pretty hands off about the whole thing, just giving him a better site infrastructure to write from. At least last I checked.

[Dutchling]

That guy is annoying.

'Mr. Obama, Mr. Romney, Mr. Romney, Mr. Obama, Mr. Romney, Mr. Romney, Mr. Romney, Mr. Romney'

I'm a fan of when rich people are stupid enough to actually believe their own rhetoric.

Why shouldn't we repeal Citizen's United, again?

[Dutchling]

They want to spend 10 million dollars to make someone look bad?

Democracy wins again!

[Zangi]

Democracy, where individuals can spend millions of dollars to influence the masses to vote their way.

[FearfulJesuit]

The group suggested hiring as a spokesman an “extremely literate conservative African-American” who can argue that Mr. Obama misled the nation by presenting himself as what the proposal calls a “metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln.”

Where are these photos of Obama in skinny jeans dancing to Europop?

[kaijyuu]

I didn't know Able Lincoln liked Europop.

[nenjin]

I'm guessing the guy has never even seen a metro sexual if that's what he's calling Obama.

[FearfulJesuit]

To be fair, if this 10 million dollars is paying for a video of Obama dancing to Caramelldansen, it may have been somewhat justified.
