What If God

God is typically called the creator of the Universe, either being or meta-something-or-other. Further IT is assumed to be a maximum good. But why is God assumed to be good? What if IT, the creator of the Universe was evil, while the struggle to achieve good is a by product of humanity, a less than perfect image of God.
What if?

If Obama Were

If Obama were a negotiator, if Reid were a negotiator, then they would pull back the defunding from 33 to 11 while dropping funding from Planned Parenthood.
Then, they would divert funding from some other group into Planned Parenthood.
If only they were negotiators. Too bad for you that they aren’t.

======== breaking update:
The two parties are only apart by 5B, but the Republicons demand that Planned Parenthood and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) be defunded.
Variant: deflowered.

The Republicons won’t be satisfied until they Fuck not just the mothers of the land, but that they be permitted to fuck the land itslelf. Their new bumper sticker seen outside K Street cigar lounges:

Fuck Mother Nature, She’s Not On Birth Control NOW.

======== footnote:
How much does Planned Parenthood receive from the Federal government in funding and contracts? About 500 million dollars. The odd thing is that the first funding was initiated by Republicans in an effort to cut down on welfare. They were confident that birth control would reduce the need to fund welfare and childcare support costs. This was under President Nixon.

Theory Of Theory

I recently read a physicist saying he was skeptical of reading art theory since, as a physicist, he had a high regard for something called theory and didn’t expect the art critic to approach that level of skill and discipline.

I asked him if he would require the physicist to apply the same means to his theory as a critic or historian does to his product. Why expect the same use of a word when the context difference is apparent. The word can have an instantiation that is different from the abstract object version.
