WHY IS ITS?

Why is it celebrities die in threes?

Why is it that PhillyChief over at You Made Me Say It is the only one who has an appropriate response to Michael Jackson’s death?

Why is it that the critics universally hate Michael Bay (check out RottenTomatoes) but audiences seem to love him?  ($60 million in one day!?)

Why is it I disagree with Roger Ebert about movies nearly 90% of the time but I find his other observations spot on?  Read his review of Transformers 2 (I loved it) and then check out his article about Bill O’Reilly.  I used to listen to O’Reilly, now I can’t stand him.  At least I respect Ebert.

Why is it preachers call the bible “The Owners Manual” during wedding ceremonies?  Why is it they say if we’re going to marry we need to do it god’s way?  God’s way is that women are property, a raped woman must marry her rapist, and the rapist can never divorce her.  Why is it god’s way is polygamy (David & Solomon)?  Why did Paul advise the married to live as if they weren’t because Jesus’ return was so immediate?  Why is it they pretend the words of the marriage ceremony are written in the bible when they clearly aren’t?  I remember being very disillusioned when I discovered that for myself.

Why is it the Huffingtton Post is so obsessed with everything “Bruno”?  How are the antics of a seventh rate schlock comedian news (even entertainment news)?

Why is it anyone pays any attention to Rush Limbaugh?  I admit I used to listen to him years ago.  But he has gone freaking insane with his own popularity (real or imagined).  Sanford slips off to Argentina to bang his mistress and it’s Obama’s fault?  Come on, Rush, you can’t really be that stupid can you?  I know you think your audience is that stupid but come on!

Why is it Twitter became the source for news from Iran?  What happened to actual news agencies?  What happened to journalism?

Why is it with gasoline so expensive and in such short supply you see so many huge gas guzzling SUV’s, Vans, Trucks on the road?  Around here they far outnumber smaller cars.  It isn’t entirely the big car companies’ fault, Americans buy these things in alarming numbers.  Energy efficiency is an alien concept.

Why is it even though gas is $2/gallon less than it was last year I still can’t afford to go anywhere?

Why is it that christians are so threatened by any kind of questioning about their faith?  They claim to have the god of the universe living inside them, they should be absolutely fearless.  Why is it they feel so much need to have people help them pray through their problems?  Why is it that god isn’t sufficient to help them overcome all by themselves?  I used to ask the same questions when I was a christian myself.  I could never understand why the vast majority of the church considered itself to be so weak.  Why is it that sin and evil are so much stronger than righteousness and good?  Why is Satan even presented as a threat?  He’s already defeated!  If you already know how it’s all going to end why dread the future?

Why is it that I keep on blogging even though I only get very many comments if I blog about the “penis”?

Why is it I ask myself stupid questions?

    It’s good to question yourself, that’s why. :)

    Go visit a shit load of blogs and comment on the posts, usually people will visit your site. :)

    Reminds me of the old Bloom County comic strip. Milo would occasionally start pondering imponderables and then try to figure out how it all connects. Which means I’m going to spend the day wondering how Michel Jackson’s death relates to giant SUVs relates to penises.

    At least you won’t be bored with that much tantalizing intellectual exercise to keep your neurons firing fiercely.

    I probably don’t have to tell you how SUVs relate to penises (hint: four letter word beginning with “S” (no - the word is not “shit”)). I guess Michael Jackson fits into this set because he spent most of his life grabbing his penis in public - and people paid big bucks to watch him do it.
