Here’s our last installment of the weekly tid bits for 2007. We’ve got a guy stuck in his septic tank on Christmas Eve. And leave it to Fred Phelps to end the year on some wing-nuttery as he blames the tiger attack in San Francisco on gay people. A wyoming woman stabbed her husband for opening presents early, and a bluetooth headset and cell phone foiled a robbery in Columbus, Ohio. We also have some Spanish scientists postulating that time might be slowing down.

We are winding down towards the end of the year, but instead of getting slower, we just got really busy for this week at work. I’ll still do my best to get some stuff posted here for you. We’ve got sex stings, porn and horse rustling.

Family Values Huckabee Squashes Charges His Son Killed a Dog

December 16, 2007 B. John 345 Views 0 Comments christian, Crooks and Liars, family values, Animal Cruelty, Arkansas Democrat-Gazettee, Boy Scouts, David Huckabee, Mike Huckabee, Scout Camp

It seems that Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee has a little bit of a Michael Vick problem. He’s apparently worked to cover up the fact that his then 18 year old son and another teenager got fired from working at a Boy Scout Camp back in 1998. Seems they caught a stray dog, hung it, slit its throat, and stoned it for good measure.

CIA Interrogation Tape-False Flag Alert!

December 11, 2007 B. John 445 Views 1 Comment torture, CIA, Waterboarding, ABC News, Enhanced Interrogation, False Flag

I sincerely hope that no one is falling for this “false flag” (I believe it’s called in intelligence parlance) of the CIA Agent suddenly coming forward to condemn waterboarding as torture, but then saying it saved thousand of lives when used to interrogate Abu Zubaydah. It is just too convenient that this “former” agent, John Kiriakou, suddenly gets permission to come forward and openly discuss this operation on the national news circuit. Does anyone still fall for this shit from this Administration? Kiriakou says he thinks there should be a national debate about torture. BULLSHIT. There should be no discussion about torture. What has become of the values of this Republic and we as a people when we have to have a debate about torture?

Hunger In America

December 10, 2007September 29, 2018 B. John 373 Views 0 Comments Christian Science Monitor, Appalachia, food insecure, Hunger

I came across an article at the Christian Science Monitor on-line today about hunger in America. I spent some evenings working in the homeless shelter in Winston-Salem some years ago, and have, as a result of that experience, developed some perspective on the problems of poverty and homelessness in America. I wish I had some solutions, but I don’t…just a sense of what the world is really like.

Lots of weirdness this week with a guy’s girlfriend biting off his tongue, and a couple of cops getting run over by another police car during a chase. And probably the big story was a roadside cleanup crew finding 60 lbs. of pot on the side of I-4.

I’m not sure if Joshua played a role, but it seems the pastors of America’s fastest growing megachurch, Without Walls International Church, is having a bit of a crisis of leadership. Married pastors Randy and Paula White announced at last Thursday night’s service that they were getting a divorce.

Hotels Now Offering Sex Kits Instead of Bibles?

This must be from the “are you shitting me” category. Krazy Kristian Kook, Don Wildmon, of the American Family Association is now warning that hotels are taking out the Gideon Bibles in favor so “intimacy kits.” I never really expected to write a post that included Goldfish, sex and iPods as tags. Leave it to good old Don to come through though.

N.C. Baptist State Convention Boots Myers Park Baptist

November 14, 2007September 29, 2018 B. John 375 Views 0 Comments North Carolina, Charlotte, Myers Park Baptist Church, North Carolina Baptist State Convention

The North Carolina State Baptist Convention claims that it allows for autonomy for their local churches, and has only a few requirements for membership in state convetion…mainly that you send money and hate homosexuals. Well, the members of Myers Park Baptist Church had decided to be Christian rather than Southern Baptist in their thinking, so today the Executive Committee found this church is not “in friendly cooperation with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina” and today the membership as a whole gave Myers Park Baptist the boot. The decided to not go without comment…
