Westboro Baptist Church puts the "dam(n)" in fundamentalist

This Group makes me sick.


Now they have been sued and are in court for attacking a fallen Marine's funeral.


I hope they finally get what's coming to them. Here are some examples of their disgusting version of free speech and freedom of religion.

Good Cop, Dumb Cop... errr Bad Cop

O.K. One of my favorite lines from the movie "Full Metal Jacket" was when the Drill Instructor (R. Lee Ermey, who in my opinion deserved the Academy Award for his performance) told "Pyle" after finding his foot locker unlocked, ".... if it wasn't for #^*#* like you, there wouldn't be thieves in this world."

I just read a news story which relates the experience of a police officer who had his food messed with while going through a drive through while in uniform. Should a police officer be able to order food without having to worrry about it being messed with? absolutely! Would a prudent police officer order food from teenage fast food workers assuming that it wouldn't be messed with? Absolutely not!

I hope that the officer wins, it's a horrible thing to have your sandwich spit in. Should a police officer be able to order food without having to worry about spit or worse being put in his food? YES!! That being said, there's a distinct difference between wishful thinking and reality. The reality is that cops can't have a reasonable expectation of receiving uncontaminated food going through a drive thru.

Statistics are like a bikini

One of my favorite quotes is this: Statistics are like bikinis, what they reveal is intriguing, what they cover up is essential.

There has been a recent news report that the divorce rate is down. Before those of you who hold marriage as a sacred institution start jumping up and down with joy, read the link. It appears that divorce is indeed down, but not really because fewer marriages are ending in divorce. Fewer people are getting married.

A recent study also shows that stagecoach robberies are down in the United States and Viking raids have stopped on the British isles. Local politicians have been quick to take credit for both.

Pagan Rejoice

Followers of Wicca have won their case and will now be able to have their Wiccan Pentacle (pentagram) engraved on their tombstones in the national cemeteries. It seems kind of odd to me however because I thought Wiccan's (aren't they the new age druids/witches/nature worshipers) would burn their dead in a funeral pyre like in the old days of Viking and Celtic history.

Oh well... maybe they'll fight for the funeral pyres next.

School Shooting

A terrble tragedy at Virgina Tech results in dozens dead and dozens seriously injured.

What will come of it? I'm not sure but I suspect what we'll hear is all the usual suspects getting up on soap boxes and banging on drums. The "guns kill people" crowd will use it as yet another example of why all guns should be outlawed. The NRA people will remind everyone that someone had to pull the trigger. The shooter will turn out to be either; a spurned and/or abused homosexual, a pissed of member of a love triangle, a person who couldn't handle some bad grades, a "radical Muslim extremist", a rejected applicant to the school.

It sounds like a scene from one of Clancy's books where the terrorsists start attack poorly defended and high population targets like shopping malls.

Whatever the story ends up being there are 22 (as of right now [1000 hrs]) people senselessly murdered and thousands of lives forever scarred. Sin is a terrible thing.

I pray for the repose of their souls and for the families that are left here to suffer the loss.

John Mark Karr

Well, looks like Karr is just a stupid, demented, pervert and not responsible for JonBenet's murder. Will they be able to keep him off the streets? Probably not, we will most likely have to wait until he brutalizes some poor innocent child before we can protect society from this sexual deviant.

Will the news media just go to using his first and last name now? They seem to use the full name whenever they report on a serial killer or molester. Shouldn't they refrain from using the middle name until the guy is at least put on trial?

liberty?

When I was in the Navy and went on liberty I did crazy things like watch movies, go to a pub, go fishing, or go sightseeing. This guy had other things in mind.

What the...?????
