Part of TV that we usually gloss over or ignore is the proverbial network promo spot that usually takes a small bit of commercial air time in between regularly scheduled programs.  Here in TN I ignore most of these also, save for one.  As a child growing up in the south, it was never a sure thing that snow would appear during the holidays.  Likewise not living in a large urban cityscape wih huge buildings chock full of animatronic...

    Well I love this site.  The Friendly Atheist.Its chock-full-o goodies for those with an open mind.  If you have an open mind please check it out.  If you are easily offended and believe that everyone should live, breath and feel the same without the freedom to think outside the group mentality then you may want to shay away.  This article in particular made me laugh out loud.  I had no idea why muslims get upset when folks draw...
