Westboro Baptist Church Is Being Sued. Finally.

The Westboro Baptist Church, famous for slogans such as “God Hates Fags” is being sued. The church has taken to protesting at fallen military’s funerals, and someone is finally fighting back. Albert Snyder, of York, Pennsylvania, is suing Fred Phelps, the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church. The charges: invasion of privacy and intent to inflict emotional distress.

My thought: This isn’t enough. It’s unfortunate you can’t sue someone for being a complete waste of space. What the people at that church do isn’t just wrong, its sick. They have there heads shoved so far up there asses that they actually believe some bullshit drivel from some maniac who claims its “God’s will”. This guy knows about as much about god’s will as he does nuclear fission. The scariest part is that there are people just as retarded as him that actually believe + follow.

I just hope Albert wins, and this guy is taken for everything he has.

A great NYT article about it.

Bush + Cheney = Crazy

My thought: its harder to sign a declaration of war with a straight-jacket on.

1967: Bush’s first NY Times appearance- Defending Fraternity Branding

Yes that’s right. George W. Bush’s first appearance in the national news (New York Times) was defending his fraternity. More specifically, his fraternities use of an old practice know as iron branding.

Basically a bunch of half-naked guys get together and poke each other in the ass with a red-hot coat hanger.

This raises a lot of questions, but also answers a lot of them.

For example-

Question: why does the president stutter so much and make fool of himself on such a regular basis?

Answer: because he was so busy doing blow and attempting to touch other boys asses in college to be bothered with such things as “grammar” or “book-learning”- Bush has street smarts. If the street happens to be full of half asleep grizzly bears and Bush has his “branding hanger”. Oh wait, I take that back. But he should try that. It would solve a lot of problems.

Here is a New York Times article about it

Into The Wild

into the wild

I’ve usually enjoyed book-to-film adaptations. I mean, who can’t like “Lord of the Rings”, right? But I was concerned that the adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s “Into The Wild” would not be up to snuff, even with Sean Penn directing.

Fortunately, I was dead wrong. This was the best book-to-film adaptation I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. The movie developed the character of Chris McCandless brilliantly, telling his story with emotion and depth.

Go see it. “Into The Wild”’s website. Jon Krakauer.

Moving = No Fun.

Last night I moved.  I’ve moved many, many times throughout the course of my life, so far the tally is: 1 other country, 5 different cities, and 15 separate moves.  This latest was like a puzzle. The steps:

  1. Load couches in Portland
  2. Drive to Tualatin, pick up bed frame
  3. Drive to Canby, drop of couches and bed frame
  4. Drive to Beaverton, pick up couch
  5. Drive to Tualatin, drop off couch
  6. Drive to Portland, drop off truck

It may not sound like a lot, but I was doing it solo. The positive side: it’s OVER (at least for now).
