Noah was 600 years old when he built the Ark, so why do Americans need retirement?

Greg Gianforte, aspiring Republican governor of Montana, urges college students to reject policy that favors savings plans and retirement options because, like Noah, Christians have “an obligation to work” until they are hundreds of years old, the Huffington Post reports.

Speaking at the Montana Bible College in February, Gianforte told students, “There’s nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it’s been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, ‘Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach.’ It doesn’t say that anywhere.”

“The example I think of is Noah,” Gianforte continued. “How old was Noah when he built the Ark? 600. He wasn’t like, cashing Social Security checks. He wasn’t hanging out; he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical.”

Cruz May Require Background Check Before Letting Supporter Shoot With Him

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) plans to take one lucky supporter with him on an upcoming "shooting excursion" as part of a recently launched fundraiser and sweepstakes for his presidential campaign. But there's a catch: the winner may have to endure a background check first.

The caveat is an interesting one given that Cruz helped lead the effort to defeat a 2013 bill that would have expanded background checks for gun sales nationwide. The bill, which was championed by President Obama in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, ultimately went down after an intense lobbying effort from pro-gun groups.

In an interview with TPM on Friday afternoon, Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler defended the contest's background check requirement and said it was "not inconsistent" with the senator's track record.

Seen on the local SDA church sign:

God loves us as we are.....but too much to let us stay that way.

Heard a man singing outside my library.

I'm paraphrasing the verse here.

"A cowboy from Texas started his own war in Iraq. Some humans ain't human. Some people ain't kind."

USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C

?list=PLB8A7BFC74F06996F

The Ambassador-class starship was a step between the venerable Excelsior-class and the Majestic Galaxy-class.

The Enterprise-C served from 2332 to 2344 when she was destroyed at Narendra III while responding to distress call from the Klingon colony there. Upon arrival, she was met and overwhelmed by four Romulan warbirds.

The efforts of the Enterprise-C and her crew helped to solidify the alliance between the Federation and the Klingon empire.


The ship is featured in the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". (S3E15) Watch it. It is seriously one of the very best episodes of TNG.

When the Catholic Church owns your doctor: The insidious new threat to affordable birth control

Angela Valavanis had already had one bad encounter with the Catholic health care system when St. Francis Hospital, the hospital in Evanston, Ill., where she delivered her second baby, refused to allow her OB/GYN to tie her tubes because of Catholic restrictions on the procedure. When she went to her doctor’s office for a check-up after the birth and asked about going back on the Pill, since she hadn’t gotten the sterilization she wanted, she got another shock: “My doctor told me that she couldn’t prescribe birth control because she had sold her practice to a Catholic health system,” said Angela. “My mouth dropped open. I was so confused to hear those words coming out of the mouth of an OB/GYN.”
