Answer to Delaware Liberal: What if God is Really Google?

This morning at Delaware Liberal Donviti found God. I know some Republican readers will say, "I never thought it would happen but the liberals actually found God."

But who is this God they found?

Could it be Google? Wait a second. Before you tell me that that is a crazy idea I want you to consider two facts.

First, there is this alarming story about how much private information about you is actually available online.

Second, is this excellent article from Becky the Girl in Shorts on the possibility that Larry Page and Sergei Brin know everything about you. If they are not God, perhaps a Triumvirate Omnipotent Godhead with Eric Schmidt as the third leg.

We know for a fact that they know everything there is to know about everything, right? A sort of benevolent, omnipotent, webmaster godhead whose supplication I invoke while trying to blog and figure out new applications.....constantly.

Finally, in answer to Liberal Geek's question, " What if God is really Mexican? Or worse, Venezuelan? Man GWB is in some serious trouble;" I present the idea that heaven has taken a strange turn in the Global War between Rednecks and Latinos:



In turn this raises the question is God really just a code name for Google's Battle Pope?



So could it be given the stunning diversity of this nation, its humor and its sense of itself through the web, that Google founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin are the God that the liberals located? I say, impossible given the anti-libertarian answers they got from him, or is it them? But, who can say?

What we do know is that for April Fool's day Ted Turner, founder of CNN, found God as reported in a story at JNN the Jesus News Network:

Ted Turner Changes Mind on Religion?
Posted: Tuesday, April 1, 2008
News Summary:
AP News - New York

Ted Turner is apologizing for his past criticisms of religion, admitting that he is "always developing" his attitude as he gets older.

News Story:

Turner issued his mea culpa while announcing a new 200 million dollar partnership with Lutherans and Methodists to combat the spread of malaria.

Years ago, the CNN founder and one-time America's Cup-winning skipper called Christianity a "religion for losers." He also eventually apologized for labeling CNN employees who observed Ash Wednesday "Jesus freaks" who should work for the competing Fox network.Now, he says in an Associated Press interview, he no longer considers himself an atheist, and maintains several churches on his properties for his employees to use.And although he says he doesn't attend church regularly, he says he finds it "really hard to believe" that he's "going to Hell."

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...

A reply to Salon's R. J. Eskrow, and his 11 stupid questions about Libertarians

Posts here have been in short supply as I have been living life and trying to get a campaign off the ground. But "11 questions to see if Libertarians are hypocrites" by R. J. Eskrow, picked up at Salon , was just so freaking lame that I spent half an hour answering them. In the end (but I'll leave it to your judgment), it is not that Libertarians or Libertarian theory looks hypocritical, but that the best that can be said for Mr. Eskrow is that he doesn't have the faintest clue what he's talking about. That's ok, because even ill-informed attacks by people like this make an important point:  Libertarian ideas (as opposed to Conservative ideas, which are completely different) are making a comeback as the dynamic counterpoint to "politics as usual," and so every hack you can imagine must be dragged out to refute them. Ergo:  Mr. Eskrow's 11 questions, with answers: 1.       Are unions, political parties, elections, and ...
