New poll reveals Ensign’s status sinking – News – ReviewJournal.com

Granted, the Review-Journal is probably one of the most conservative daily papers I’ve ever read – and no, I very, very rarely pay money for that rag – but even the local conservathugs are beginning to find John Ensign to be a piece of crap.

That said, most of them think he should not resign. Hooray for flexible Republican morals!

Hypocritical bastards.

Marriage a choice, just like religion – Las Vegas Sun

Thank God not all of Vegas is infiltrated by Talibangelicals. Give this a read and be sure to down some painkillers before starting in on the comments.

I truly wish that those bigoted hatemongers who supposedly speak for the Almighty would kindly shut the hell up and let actual caring folks speak for their religion.

Not that I’m holding my breath or anything….

Charity begins at home at the expense of your convictions

So, I read this article about a woman who is forcing her belief system on others so much that it is now going to cost some charities a LOT of money. AND SHE’S NOT DONE! People, convince others to change their minds through dialogue, not by twisting their arms in fascist fashion.

In other news, Galva seems to remain in the dark but folks seem to be okay. Brenda says their house got a little roughed up, but so did a lot of others.

Hang in there!

I don’t have a lot of info on this yet but I hear Galva got pretty whacked by high winds last night. From what I know, which is pretty much this, only one person got hurt. Which is damn amazing and thankful news. If anyone has been in contact with my family, could ya give me a ring or an email? I am trying to get a call through to whoever I can.

UPDATE: Got a hold of Jason Lindstrom and everyone and everything seems relatively okay amongst those we know. The Strand farm lost a barn but that is thus far the worst of it. There is definitely no word of electricity for awhile though. A couple links covering the scant info I have.

KWQC Channel 6 story and video

Would you like tartar sauce with that McChicken?

Well, I’m probably gonna have to post a special rant on the Message Board to even cover all the stuff we have run into over the past week. Concerning the page title, that’s a whole long story. As for this entry title, absolutely avoid the McDonalds in Colby, KS if you value your digestive tract.

We did manage to have a good time and meet interesting people and travel to some really fun places. It is just the horrifically stupid imbeciles we dealt with along the way that I am now taking to time to laugh at…now that its over. Point yourself over to the Rant section of the message board if you want to know more about our adventures.

For your entertainment value, an odd page about the sounds you see in comic strips. Also, a link to the most demented system technicians alive (I forgot to link it before we left).
