Boy George

You know, I thought the new prince looked somewhat familiar.  Looks like this kid may have a show biz career AND kingship ahead of him.  Never too early to start I guess...

Civil Disobedience run amok

I got my voter’s packet today.  It’s one of those “who the hell are these people and why do I care who gets to be the prosecuting attorney (running unopposed incidentally) and who gets to be a judge in the Northeast District position number whatever and whosits, whatsis?”  Thus it is my duty to vote, nay, privilege.  I just turned the TV off after lunch.  Eating lunch and watching the news are activities that oppose health, digestion and common sense when done together.  Kind of like watching someone mashing a rat repeatedly with a heavy shovel and then being asked how they felt about it in an investigative reporter interview.  I mean, do I want to watch this?  While eating?

Now, I suppose if I knew the prosecuting attorney and voted them in…and was subsequently accused of a crime, say like mashing someone with a heavy shovel, I might want to have a friend on the bench.  I guess, barring this scenario, I don’t give a rat’s ass, mashed or otherwise.

Sigh.  Congress and our ‘guvment’ in general does make one want to grab a heavy shovel and start wielding it madly about.  Not having a shovel handy, I did the next best thing.  I tore off the stub – the one that says ‘remove this stub and recycle’ – and threw it IN THE GARBAGE CAN.  Not the recycle bin.  Ha!  Take that!  Score one for civil disobedience!  Yay Henry D. Thoreau!  I know, a little part of me has taken part in wanton disregard for the planet and, I suppose, the government so wastefully mismanaging it.  I feel vindicated and alive!!

This requires some thought...I think...

At least, thinking does reassure one of one's existence....I think.

Worth a guffaw..........

I would say also, more worth it than stupid crappy jokes about hobby lobby and all the vitriol that goes with all that.  Sorry you guys, I'll try to make my acidic sarcasm more humorous in the future.

Hobby Lobby Makes news again in Arkansas...

Managers at a Hobby Lobby store in Arkansas stoned to death an employee today for being gay.

According to a report in the Ozark Post-Gazette, the store’s management decided to execute Jeremy Gleason, 43, in an alley behind the store in accordance with the Biblical verseLeviticus 20:13, which commands believers to kill homosexual men.

The assailants reportedly tied Gleason to a pole and threw large chunks of granite and whole bricks at his body. An autopsy later revealed the adoptive father of 2 young children died of blunt force trauma to the head.

Although Gleason’s family have called for Hobby Lobby’s managers to be charged with murder, police say they do not intend to make any arrests in the case because the store was simply exercising its religious beliefs.

“I don’t really see the problem here,” says Mark Patterson, Wilson County sheriff, “I mean stoning gays to death is in the Bible. And Hobby Lobby is a Christian company.

“What am I supposed to do? Arrest the people who killed him? Last I checked this was America. We don’t put people in jail for exercising their religion.”

Gleason’s unusual execution comes just days after the US Supreme Court ruled that his employer may be exempted from a federal law requiring employers to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees.
