There’s a wanker in your midst. This is from the blog of Marcus Kindley, Chairman of the Guilford County Republican Party: We now say that homosexuality is ok. That it is natural. Yes it is as natural as pedophilia. If it were natural then we wouldn’t be having a conversation about it, because there would be no procreation. It really … Read More

Spelling Bee
As I was watching the Scripps Spelling Bee finals last night, it occured to me that this "English As Official Language" movement is even more stupid than I originally opined. I mean, our language is derivative of other languages, and we should acknowldege that. Anyway, our local girl did well, coming in third, after being reinstated following a very rare … Read More

Hope You’re Enjoying Your Last Few Hours Alive
As I reported last month, May 25th (that’s today) is the day the world is supposed to end, thanks to Comet 73P Schwassmann-Wachmann coming down on our heads. I’m glad to see that you all are behaving yourselves, and not engaging in rioting and looting and sex orgies and such. Or if you are, you haven’t invited me, which is … Read More
Are We Safe?
Apparently not. (1) Natural disaster drill canceled because of red-tape confusion: A mock evacuation that was supposed to be part of a two-day statewide hurricane preparedness drill was canceled after a misunderstanding about who had jurisdiction over a Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer park. Imagine what would have happened if it was not a drill. (2) New Jersey toxic chemical … Read More

God Talked To Pat Robertson Again
This is always a source of amusement. This time God came to Pat in the guise of Al Roker. Or something. Pat told viewers of the 700 Club: "If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms." On today’s show, he added, "There well may be something as bad as a tsunami … Read More

Instead, they handed out cards to those who asked, explaining why they were not speaking. The day was April 26. The purpose was to focus attention on the actual silencing of homosexuals as … Read More
The South Pacific Earthquake
In the right column of this blog, there is a "live webcam" portal. One of the live webcams is from the Nevada Seismological Lab Helicorder. This afternoon, the image looked like this: Those squiggles on the right reflect (I’m assuming) the magnitude 7.8 earthquake in the South Pacific which struck shortly before 1:00 pm (EST). Fortunately, as of this writing, … Read More
