I'm more just incredulous. I mean, trying to get money from the city council? Why don't they just ask for a personal rocket to Mars, it is as likely. It's just so...podunk. These individuals have already proven they don't really think too big. I mean...Cruces? If it weren't such an evil threat, and the local police so poorly considered, I'd be laughing.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
This morning I got a massage at a local day spa, then went to a nearby shopping area(Kentlands, for those in Montgomery County) for lunch and look for the crafts show that allegedly was happening there. As it turned out, I found no trace of said show. Since the only mention of it was on a flyer that got thrown out, I guess I'm not surprised.(I did go into the PetSmart and cooed over the kitties available for adoption)
Now? Now I'm watching the Red Sox-Yankees game.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
REALLY COOL video of a vampire squid.

I see Pope Sidious is at it again...
Just got back from the arts district street fair. Lots of neat booths, exhibits and such, but we got a return to 90° temperatures especially for today, and as I was leaving I walked past a summer school van on the periphery playing "It's a Small World."

Muslims took that wrong, huh? Sheesh, sensitive much?

Yeah. And while the very early Christian movement was highly nonviolent what with the martyrs being fed to lions and all, I'd think people of the Islamic faith would have more recent historical memories of, say, the Crusades and the ejection of the Moors from Spain. Benedict's throwing stones from inside a glass basillica.

Now tagless for your comfort.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
Oh, yeah, that'll help. Wasn't Ratz talking about a Medieval manuscript? 'Cause if we could start pulling stuff out on Christianity from the same period to give everyone a little perspective.

Always Anti-fascist!
I hate that because it seems to me he can say what he wants and be protected from the consequences.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Bon voyage, Jess!
