Sweet Jesus!

Easter.

It's the time we think about the Death and Resurrection of Jesus the Christ. Or Eostre, the Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Spring. But mostly Jesus.

Oh, and chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

So why not a chocolate Christ? Sweet Jesus indeed!

What I find peculiar, is that the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights are so upset about it. Is it because Jesus is nude? Is it because he's made of chocolate? Obviously the artist is making a statement about the murky Easter waters where commercialism and religion mix. Is that so bad? Remember this is coming from a group of people who have a few very odd notions and habits concerning their god.

• They hang a graven image of their god being tortured to death on walls and around their necks.
• They believe that during communion the host and wine are transmogrified into real flesh and real blood, which they EAT.

But they're upset at a chocolate Jesus that they could also eat? Maybe, in traditional Catholic logic, they're afraid that eating a chocolate Jesus would be too much fun.

Hurry up and get the dogs!

There are good moms, and then there are bad moms. What kind of kids will these be when they grow up?

Election in Quebec

Enough of me picking on the UN, there are enough people doing that. What we should be talking about is the shockah for the Quebecois. a Liberal minority with the right wing federalists ADQ being the official opposition. If you have not caught them here are the results.

There are many different faces to this, is it reactionary racism, a backlash to a weak PQ leader, or maybe people are just fed up with Mr Charest.

There is always the other view, that Harper and his latest budget, supported by the separatists, did the PQ in. This combined with a flat PQ party in Quebec may just have all the opposition parties doing some colluding just to keep the CPC in power. The NDP fears the Greens (at 9% in the latest poll), the Liberals and the BQ fear the ADQ helping the CPC in Quebec.

As a conservative, I was underwhelmed by this budget. I expected more fiscal responsibility, not more spending, perhaps I am a Liberal at heart. I guess I may have to vote for them in the next election.

Just to finish this rambling off, maybe I should vote NDP to avoid the NAU. I may have to spend some time learning about this union before I start another shortwinded article.

But wait, there's more!

UN Watch put together this little video of what is admissable and inadmissable to the HRC.



Remember, it is the importance of not personalizing your comments.

Tied into a commentary about the UN, Rosie O'Donnell on the view.



The war on terror breaks people into evil and good. It does at that, there are the people that love freedom, and the people that hate them for it. I don't know how to break it down more then that.

I am back!

and just a little surly.

Everything the director of UN Watch says I have been saying for awhile, and I have been agreeing with him.



My question is, why does the UN Council on Human Rights (or whatever their name is) prove him a liar? Instead the Council President says he won't allow people to speak like that.

I sure am glad they exist...

Got Time?

Warning! Do not go to this website unless you want to waste an hour!

You've been warned!

You've gotta love it

After reading this, I just had to post it...

From my favourite music review site, Metal Reviews, I bring you this quote from a review of the CD, Hetacomb of Aberration by the goregrind band, Patologicum.

Without exaggeration, it sounds like the mic was swallowed and the vocalist recorded the struggles of trying to vomit it out whilst choking on it at the same time. No lyric sheet can help you here; I cannot detect any resemblance of enunciation that pretty much every vocalist in any style of music uses to pronounce their lyrics and give them a certain tone. There is no tone, no pronunciation here, just the sound of a stomach that is about to explode.

Keep in mind that this website continuously reviews all genres of heavy metal, including death metal, grindcore, and other styles that are definitely an "acquired taste." The writers are fans of this kind of music - the kind of music that most people would find difficult to listen to.

Oh, yeah. The CD got a rating of 5/100 and won the Crap of the Month award.

Richard Dawkins

If you're a Dawkins fan, or interested in Evolution or Religious debates, this is a must see video. If you've read The God Delusion, then you can probably skip to the Q&A that starts about halfway through the video. Dawkins's responses are amazing.

First up this one.
Eeeew!

I am not sure if you have seen this before, but I think it would be perfect for short trips and city driving. I just don't know how good it would be in winter and howhard I would have to whine to convince Brenda to let me but it.

The advantage is the lack of exhaust. What I am wondering is if you could charge it with solar panels. Charge the panels up during the day and let that power trickle into the vehicle at night. I rarely drive more then 40 miles in a day, so it would be perfect.

And just to further divide this up

I have started a blog in which all I am going to talk about is boardgames, and nothing but boardgames (well RPGs once in awhile). I will talk about games from my PoV and I have been known to rant about the state of gaming too...

You can find it here Board Game Night(s).

Since no one else is here

tap tap, is there anyone here?

I know I was surprised by this result



How evil are you?
