Remember This When you Head Out to Vote

November 1, 2010 John Bailout, Bullshit, Deficit, republicans, Social Security, States Rights

As you head out to vote tomorrow (if you haven’t already, I’d suggest watching this. It’s about remembering which party took a record surplus and turned it into a record deficit, which party thinks the rich need tax cuts, and that big corporations don’t have enough freedom to pollute and send us contaminated food. Remembering which party wants to end Social Security, and which party started a needless war in Iraq, and which party was in power when Wall Street was given a no-strings-attached bailout.

two Sunday’s ago, I was teaching my Sunday School class (as I’ve done a number of times), and took a few minutes at the end of the class to deliver the following statement. I have been amazed at the outpouring of concern and support, and a number of them are willing to attend the Council meeting with me in November. I will reintroduce the resolution leaving out the section about trying reasonably to deal only with other organizations with similar statements. The council members previously used this as their primary objection.

And Another Cause of The Gay

September 23, 2010 John Alex Jones, conspiracy, estrogen, juice boxes, Juicy Juice, Libertarian

And the crazy continues with Alex Jones, nationally syndicated “libertarian” radio host. Jones says it’s our juice boxes. Jones claims he has the documents to prove that it’s a chemical warefare action by our government. They’re putting estrogen in the pastic lining of juice boxes, and apparently in lime flavored soda, to encourage homosexuality to lower the birth rate. We didn’t have juice in boxes when I was growing up, but who knew all that Juicy Juice was preparing kids for a lifetime of tasteful decorating choices and? sunday brunches?
