This guy should go to jail for a long time...



"I believe in the power of prayer"

Good for you. That belief killed your innocent daughter. Just and loving god eh?

Pride this Sunday!

This Sunday is the annual Vancouver Pride parade, and the BC Green party will be out marching and have a booth there. We will be in 60's attire celebrating 40 years after Stonewall.

I am hoping to get Sunday off of work so I can get out there and show my support. It should be a great time and it is always an important event! If anyone in Langley wants to head down with me, give me a call and we can arrange a carpool.

RIP Jim Johnson

A sad day for football...

Jim Johnson, defensive co-ordinator for my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, has passed away today after a long battle with cancer. Johnson was the architect of the high pressure, in your face, aggressive style of defense that has made the Eagles the consistent NFC powerhouse they are.

He was a great co-ordinator, an innovator, a brilliant football mind, and from what I hear a great family man.

Thanks for the memories, Jim. Eagles fans will miss you.

Michael Shermer - Genesis Revisited

As you most likely know, Dr.Michael Shermer is an outspoken atheist, formerly a born again christian, who speaks out on the absurdity of biblical literalism. He is the founder of the skeptics society and editor of Skeptic magazine.

This video is based on Dr.Shermer's "Genesis Revisited", a retelling of the Genesis creation story, which is edited so as to account for the science that we have discovered that is incompatible with Genesis.

Pretty funny stuff when you logically think through illogical beliefs. Enjoy.

Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead!

I can't believe it. Sarah Palin, the anti-intellectual, anti-choice, fundamentalist Christian, racist, extremist, creationist, all around enemy of science, reason, and freedom has decided not to run for Governor of Alaska again, and will actually give up her role as governor in three weeks time.

I have not been this happy in a long time.

This woman wants to restrict the teaching of science in schools, and force the teaching of junk pseudo-science.

She wants to force women who have been raped to have their rapist's children, even if the birth threatens the mothers life.

She threw words like "terrorist" in Obama's direction, her campaign speeches had not so subtle undertones of racism and violence, and she played the lowest level of "guilt by association", McCarthy-esque politics.

She paraded her knocked up daughter around as nothing more than a campaign prop, in my opinion forced her into a sham engagement for political purposes, and then accused David Letterman of being an evil pedophile for making a joke about said (and now legal) daughter.

She wanted things all ways at once, and now she has nothing. I thought God had chosen her to be Governor and ultimately VP or president? Did God change his mind? Is God what we call in politics a flip flopper? A legitimate question when considered within the context of her rhetoric.

I sincerely hope that she can find reason, and sanity. Take a vacation Sarah, prefferably to a mental insitution where you can get the help that you need. Anyone who believes that the earth is 6,000 years old, and that witch hunting (a euphemism for MURDERING INNOCENT WOMEN) is a legitimate job for a priest, should really be in a straight jacket and undergoing medical therapy.

Is Sarah Palin crazy?

You betcha!
