Came across this article about actor Chuck Norris and his wife, Gena, joining the Board of Directors of the National Council on Bible Curriculum In Public Schools. Not that this surprises me. He is an outspoken proponent of faith and family values issues.
I'm sure he will take a great deal of heat from secular sources and from "the industry". Especially those folks who say the "Council" that he is now a board member of is promoting the teaching of religion in schools. This, of course, would be a violation of the "seperation of church and state" clause from the Constitution. Oops, wait a minute. It really doesn't say that anywhere in the Constitution. What were they thinking? Oh...I remember, they weren't.
The article is also available at this PDF link.
I better stop before I overdose on sarcasm. Somebody please get me my purple pills!!

The Syndicate
My time on disability was not completely wasted. Made this little comedy doohickey (12 minutes worth) with Windows Movie Maker! It was quite fun.
It may take a minute to buffer properly. Just hang in there!!!

Mmm, Fresh Posting Tastes Great!
In 1786, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson met with Arab diplomats from Tunis, a country located between Libya and Algeria, who were conducting terror raids and piracy against American ships. The main issue they detailed here -

Many a great quote came from this man.
George Washington
1793 - letter to the Members of the New Church in Baltimore
We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition, and that every person may here worship God according to the dictates of his own heart. In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.
George Washington
1789 - First Inaugural Address
[T]he propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.
“We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the Grounds of their pretensions to make war upon a Nation who had done them no Injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our Friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation. The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

"Animusic-Pipe Dream" on Google Video
In the midst of a hectic day, take three and a half minutes to divert your attention from tasks you need to complete. Just relax and watch this video. Then after soaking up the amazement, sink into a deep depression knowing that people have careers that pay them to play on their computers creating fabulous CGI animations while you are paid peanuts slaving away at your deadend, thank-less job.
Just something to brighten your day!!
Just something to brighten your day!!
Description:
From the first Animusic DVD. Pipe Dream has been voted one of the 50 greatest animation projects ever (by 3D World magazine). A group of percussion instruments perform music by way of metal balls that fly out from pipes.

Quote from GW
George Washington
1796 - Farewell Address
Of all the dispositions and habits which least to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indespensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great Pilliars of human happiness.
Reference: George Washington: A Collection, W.B. Allen, ed. (521)

Vindication in progress....more to come
Here's a link to the newly declassified information on WMD's in Iraq. Most assuredly the "Bush lied, people died" crowd will purport it to be administration propaganda. The MSM will simply ignore it or give it a page 17B blurb next to the local crime blotter. Their hatred of Bush is so intense that even the truth is a lie to them.
The essential points covered by the memo are as follows:
* Since 2003 Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent.
* Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.
* Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the black market. Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out.
* The most likely munitions remaining are sarin and mustard-filled projectiles.
* The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives, and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal.
* It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.

The Horror! (well, sort of)
Back a few years (7 or 8 I believe) at a San Jose Sharks v. Chicago Blackhawks game, the hockey equivalent of a bench clearing brawl goes down. Now, no one actually comes off the bench, but every player on the ice gets involved in this altercation including the goalies. Yes, yes I deplore and by no means condone any of the violence shown yada, yada, but who can NOT watch this!!!
