Got this email today that someone sent through a Christian group I am involved with:

I have an extreme urgent prayer request, my wife and i got into an argument monday night, she had an epo served on me yesterday AT WORK by 2 sherriffs.I did barely slap her face for being in my face and calling me UGLY names! I was going to file for divorce “in the future” anyway, but this has pushed my hand. I can NOT afford to live without her help on $$. At this point, she has totally lost rationality. Please pray for guidance, protection and HIS covering on this situation. Thank you soooooooo much.

On July 4, NASA’s Deep Impact spacecraft concludes a six-month, 268 million mile voyage to comet Tempel 1 by sending a projectile crashing into the cosmic traveler. The impact should create a stadium-sized crater, allowing scientists to study pristine material inside the comet dating back to the formation of our solar system.

I know, it sounds like the opening lines of a screenplay. A movie set in the future as we viewers look back on that fateful, happy day when the scientists were all happy-go-lucky fellas excited to learn what the bowels of a comet could teach them about creation, about humanity, about destruction! Oh, that one small anomoly! A fatal flaw in the calculations! If we had only seen it in time! If we’d only listened to that one young scientist in the basement! You know…the beautiful one that no one took seriously!

Yes! She told us to factor in “World Jump Day” !! World Jump Day changed the orbit of earth! Changed it right into the path of the comet’s exploded pieces. And now…now… well, ..now what?

Anybody else think this is a stupid idea? I don’t know ANYTHING about astronomy, but I know a LOT about movies and anyone that thinks this isn’t a movie just waiting to happen is crazy!!

I am all for exploding comets if they are going to hit the earth and kill us anyway, but blowing one up just to see how they are made? Well… I ‘ve had my butt whacked enough times for THAT kind of thinking to know it’s not a good idea.

Just remember - I told you.

My wife is an interior designer. A very clever girl, too. She works for a large store in which everyone wears an orange apron.

Yesterday, a woman asked for a manager so she could complain loud and long that she was offended by some in-store advertising that my wife designed. Here is what had her butt chapped:

Here are the points on which this image is offensive: (more…)

Dick Durbin has the Republicans incensed with his remarks comparing American soldiers to Nazi’s, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. I’m incensed too, frankly, but not for long. Remember the Baghdad Democrats? (more…)

Life was, if not simple, at least clearer then. Serve your country, come home, get a job, get married, raise a family, buy a house…on and on.

I know it got more complicated than that as time went on, but it didn’t seem like it to me. (more…)

George Molchan was buried Saturday, April 16, 2005 in Merriville, Ind, his funeral procession led by the Oscar Mayer "Wienermobile". The mourners sang "I Wish I Were an Oscar Mayer Wiener", and then saluted George with a toot on their Oscar Mayer wiener whistles.

Al Gore is working his way down the chain of command to get some traction on the global warming thing;

Gore Urges Mayors to Fight Global Warming

“Without significant action, he said, the planet would see a dramatic increase in violent storms, infectious disease, deadly heat waves and rising sea levels that will force the evacuation of low-lying cities such as Calcutta, Shanghai and New York City within decades”.

Uh, yeeeeeaaah. (more…)

While the liberals all hail Mark Felt as a hero, no one dares question their reasoning. The truth of the matter is that he helped to bring down a Republican conservative president and that’s good enough for them. Anyone caught pointing this out will be accused of defending Richard Nixon. (more…)

The liberals have come a long way since John Kennedy, baby!

Here’s a new game. I posit that there are 6 degrees or less of separation between any so-called “mainstream” liberal website and a picture or reference to Che Guevara. In other words, it will take no more than 6 clicks starting from one of those sites to get to a site that features a picture or a reference to Che somewhere on their web-site. (more…)

Nothing chaps my butt like a self-serving Christian. It should be mutually exclusive; to be one should negate the other, but it’s becoming so commonplace, it begs my attention . (more…)
