Human law is supreme. Nobody can escape it. Not even *drum roll* GOD! Behold! The power of the almighty state constitution of Nebraska!

From Wired:

Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers (D – Omaha) filed suit against God Friday, asking a court to order the Almighty and his followers to stop making terrorist threats.

The suit (.pdf), filed in a Nebraska district court, contends that God, along with his followers of all persuasions, “has made and continues to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons.” Those threats are credible given God’s history, Chambers’ complaint says.

Chambers, in a fit of alliteration, also accuses God of causing “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects, and the like.”

As an aspiring mild-mannered reporter, I wanted to get the story from the defendant’s point-of-view. Unfortunately, God cannot be reached for comments (He never does listen to my prayers. Feh.), so I went to the next best source of divine information: Jesus Christ.

From The Simpsons Movie trailer:

Homer: Did I save the day?
Bart: Actually, you’ve doomed us all!
Homer: D’OH!

“D’oh!” indeed, Mr. Simpson. There is recent news that as a promotion tool for your upcoming movie, your lackeys have painted an image of you right next to the Cerne Abbas giant. I believe you may have angered a 17th century chalk outline of a naked, sexually aroused, club-wielding giant which has been a symbol of spirituality. You may have drawn the wrath of a prehistoric fertility god upon you and your family! You may have doomed the whole Simpsons clan! All because you want to promote your movie. Or maybe you just want to play ring toss using your donut and the giant’s penis. I don’t know.

It’s so freakin’ hot. Seriously. Cheryl Cosim said this morning that today, the temperature could reach 37 degrees Celsius. I suck at Science so I’ll just have to assume that that temperature is hot. Scorching even.

I always think hard before I decide to take a cigarette break during work. If I smoke, I’d have to endure the heat on my face, the sun on my bare head, and the stink of perspiring fellow smokers. I smoke anyway since I’m a slave to the nicotine. Feh.

This summer, there are only two options for me to keep myslef cool: the beach and white-hot ladies in bikinis, or an air-conditioned room, with a bunch of comics. If only life was that simple. *sigh*

What’s fun with the intense heat, though, is that when things get hot enough, you start to see things that aren’t really there. A mirage. It fucks with your brain. It changes your perspective. It gives you the hope of finding an oasis. Most of the time, you get disappointed. But sometimes, when you least expect it, you get surprised. There it is. Something real out of something that’s supposedly just bullshit.

Anyhoo, it’s been a slow week in the comics haul department so let’s just get on with it. SPOILERS ahoy!

Ever wonder what websites Baddie visits regularly? Which blogs are on his feed reader? Where he goes when there’s nothing else to do online? Assuming your answer is an eager “hell yeah!“, you’re in luck. I’m going to let you in on my web surfing habits in five parts. For the first installment of Baddie Bookmarks (I thought of the title all by myself), I’m going to tell you where I regularly get my news.

Digg. Where the comments of Diggers are usually more interesting than the news itself. I usually read the Science, Technology, and Offbeat News categories. I leave the rest of the categories alone. I’ve read a lot of very interesting “news” on Digg, and I’ve discovered a lot of cool websites as well. But there are times that it’s just irritating, especially when almost all news submissions are about a single topic like when the Wii was released, when James Kim went missing, and when Digg itself was plagued with controversy involving top Diggers allegedly gaming the system.

First of all, congratulations to you for being Time’s Person of the Year!

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we can talk about more important matters. Like, say, my hangover. Man, I just had five bottles of San Mig Strong Ice last night and I was nearly wasted. Several months ago, I can consume four Red Horse Grandes in the course of one night. I guess living in the corporate world made me soft. Less manly. Oh, how I miss those college years. Good times, good times.
