Oh, it doesn't exist anymore. You used to be able to drop that invocation, and it went into a pool for "the best" videos for the year. I'm not sure it even got off the ground. I still use it because I can search Comments>schmawy>*nominate and find stuff I really really liked. Sort of like a super duper bookmark.

Here's some background on "nominate".

Hey schmawy,
Thanks for all the recent votes and the promote!
Got a question for you, what is * nominate in regards to? I'm still a bit clueless to some of the ways of the sift.

A single upvote for your comment is not enough.

The saddest thing about hate mongers like O'Reily is that they raise hate within their opponents. In real life one simply ignores such people to remain sane, but O'reily is out there on television so it just eats you up.

I should seriously just avoid watching anything with him in it, because it's killing my blood pressure. lol

It's clips like this that leave me mostly speechless. Not because there's nothing to say but because the rage in me is louder than the peace. It has become so incredibly hard to calmly articulate responses to videos like this where the voice of reason and calm get drowned out by loud, angry, and completely unapologetic hate and ignorance. I despise the fact that my own feelings of hatred and anger precede my feelings of reason and decency. I want to call for bill's head on a plate at the top of my lungs even though I know it would only fuel the fire that's currently destroying my beloved country.
I don't recognize my home anymore, and at times I don't recognize myself.

Too late; I already got ya started. Hypocrisy abounds in the Catholic church too, brother. I don't think any religion or sect has a monopoly on that.

In reply to this comment by MrConrads:
I can see that. I actually have a few Catholic friends many of whom still practice and attend regular services so I can see where you're coming from at least a little bit. I was raised Lutheran so basically I just mumbled my way through monotonous hymns and recited the lords prayer a few thousand times. sigh... At least the communions were slightly unsupervised so I could sneak a small shot of wine every now and then. Guilt, that never really got to me but the hypocrisy in that church, OY! don't get me started!

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
I hear ya, I really do. I was born and raised Catholic. Though I walked away from it years ago, many of the symptoms remain. Guilt, being first and foremost.

In reply to this comment by MrConrads:
Same. There have been very few decisions that I have made in my past where I can say "wow, that really was a great choice that I made there" ... walking away from the church and never looking back is one of those decisions.

I'm not Jewish, nor do I believe in God, yet I still feel this dude's pain.

Hey, I was just wondering how your talk or conference went. Hope your illustration worked out and everything went smooth.
