From the beginning of the article:

OCALA, Fla. — A 50-year-old classic novel about forbidden love is shaking things up in Marion County.

The controversy centers on the book “Lolita” and whether it’s obscene under today’s standards, WESH 2 News reported.

Lately the fundies are coming at us from all angles. Some say they’re trying to transport the U.S. back to the 50’s. But I say it isn’t the 1950’s but the 1650’s. If you know a fundie please punch them for me.

It appears that President Bush is beating the anti-abortion drum. The man sickens me. He’s nothing but a tool for the Religious Right. This is why it is vital to hand him a Democratically controlled house of congress to stymie the agenda of the Religious Right.

Put it in China of course. Somewhere in a remote desert. And then kiss your ass goodbye when it actually happens. Of course it more than likely won’t.

I often joke about this with regard to nuclear fusion but it’s damned near impossible to get a runaway process like that going.

And when you consider that a lighting bolt is hotter than the sun I don’t think we have a thing to worry about.

I’m watching the Lincoln biopic on the History Channel right now.

During it Gore Vidal was asked to talk about the comparison between Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus, the 4th amendments, the 1st amendment etc. and George W. Bush’s constitutional games.

He quite accurately notes that the Civil War was in fact a war, while what we have going on now isn’t. That’s where the quote “The war on terror is like the war on dandruff.” comes from. In essence he says that the Bush administration has no right to suspend the parts of the constitution it doesn’t like in order to further it’s goals.

So I was holding Jayden and he was dancing to some music again. I jokingly came out with “Look at that. Five months old and already got rythym. Took me 40 years to get rythym.”

Having been a long time supporter of abortion rights, I find the continued push against it by the hypocrites of the Religious Right to be throroughly disgusting.

This article tells of the obstacles thrown up against legalized abortion, particularly for women who don’t happen to have the money or basic means. Or how about all the illegaly performed sterilizations.

Disgusting. Loathesome. Disturbing. Despicable. Those are just a few words I can think of beyond the obvious cursing. For once and for all I want to strip the voice from religious right. I want to turn them back to the freaks they once were.

This cartoon is great. Actually, I hope you explore the site a bit. Lots of good stuff there, particularly the one about Kissing Hank’s Ass.

My hat is off to the Reverend James Huger – here’s one to you my good man from the Reverend Anthony Pelliccio.

Ok, so while I’m bored I surf the web. I find things that I like to share with friends.

This one from Houston, TX (I know this because they zoomed on a Waste Management dumpster and I looked up the NPA-NXX 713-686). Now all the Hmong, Laotian, Cambodian and Vietnamese I know had high aspirations for their kids. Doctors, attorneys, accountants.

Instead they end up working for Wally World and making amusing video music parodies.

Guy built a fully functional computer out of 99% relays. The only thing he capitulated on was the 32Kx8 memory unit. I can understand why though as it would have taken a maximum of 32767 x 8 or 262,136 relays to do so.

Imagine the power draw if he’d done that.

By the way – this almost makes me want to get a PhD in Info Science/Computer Science, hell I already have the B.S. in Info Science. Must be nice to have a full up professorship and have the time to putz around with this stuff.

See the mechanical computational monster.

Oh my. I lost count of how many red lights were run while making this little film, not to mention the violations of speed limits, failure to keep right, etc.

This is the blurb attached to the video:

“A short film from 1976 where a camera is mounted on the front of a Ferrari driving at up to 140mph through Paris. The film was made by Claude Lelouch, who was arrested when he showed the film to the public.”

I suppose with all the violence happening in Paris as of late this would be the ideal tour package.

140MPH in a Ferrari
