Mikey Rourke acceptance speech

This is the greatest / most insane acceptance speech ever.

Bobby Jindal: Jackass for president 2012

If you watched Governor Jindal's rebuttal tonight, you saw his first speech on a national stage to start his 2012 presidential campaign.

The gall of a republican to say what he did about the failure of government on Katrina is frankly dumbfounding.

Jenny McCarthy: Shut the fuck up

A special court ruled Thursday that evidence presented in three cases by parents of children with autism did not prove a link between autism and certain early childhood vaccines.

This is merely a court finding but it's backed by ALL of the science out there. Those still making this claim are measurably dangering everyone by duping people into not vaccinating their kids.

Atheist Billboard in Charleston

There is a new billboard up on I-26 put there by the Lowcountry Humanists. Here it is

Simple, nice and non confrontational right? Well as you could have guessed the Christian Persecution Complex machine is in full effect.

This is a letter to the editor this morning.

I read the recent article regarding a chapter of local secular humanists posting a billboard message about their disbelief in God.

At best this is just plain mean and spiteful. At worst it is an attempt to continue the assault on Christian and religious values.

God is love. So these sad souls want to erect a sign asserting their disbelief in love? I suppose they have the right to do so, but why? Where's the love?

PETER ALAN SMITH
Pitt Street
Charleston

First, I'd like Mr. Smith to tell me exactly how this is mean or spiteful? We as atheists have just as much right to express our opinion as does the faithful. Please Mr. Smith lay out your case and tell me exactly how it is mean or spiteful. Are there any other rights guaranteed by the constitution that Mr. Smith finds objectionable? Women suffrage maybe? Those darn founding fathers who added the Bill of Rights to the constitution, mean and spiteful people they were.

Second, it is very telling that he considers this an assault on his Christian values for us to exercise our freedom of speech. The persecution complex exhibited by many Christians when anyone dares to question their belief is astounding. You'd think they would have enough faith in their faith for this to not affect them. Apparently not. He must have a pretty weak belief in his deity for someone saying something on a billboard to affect him in such a way.

Third, where is the love? Exactly. Where is it Mr. Smith? I thought you Christians were supposed to be the ones driven by love. That statement alone makes my irony meter go into smoking coughing fits that end in its complete vaporization. Mr. Smith, you owe me a new irony meter. God is love in your opinion Mr. Smith. A thorough reading of the Bible makes many of us question that however. We still have love, we just don't need a book to tell us we do or how we do.

Those poor poor persecuted Christians. Their faith under assault by other people exercising their freedom of speech.

Jazz Fest Fail

In which my ADHD costs me

stop up sink

put pork chops from the local heritage breed hog farm in sink

turn on water

answer phone

run upstairs to check on something for the caller

Realize 10-15 mins later "OH SHIT SINK IS ON"

run downstairs

see wood floors covered in a rapidly increasing lake

shut off water

grab towels

realize that this is going to need more than towels.

Call water damage company.

Have them come out at night to set up drying system

wait.


It happened last night. I went home over lunch to meet them their. Seems that there wasn't that much water but we need to worry about the cabinets and the particle board under them. Why the hell they make solid wood facing cabinets with particle board under supports... actually I know why but god damn it). If we have to tear those out....

So now we have a dehumidifier the size of a refrigerator, a huge vacuum contraption attached to these floor plates that is constantly running sucking the water out and we have air blowing under the cabinets through a few holes we had to drill.

They came out and ran their moisture meters and we're ok, but they gotta leave them a little while longer. They also added a dehumid under the house.


All from all my 15 min of distraction.
