WBC does it again

I found this on Finditt.com. Looks like our friends at WBC want to disgrace the memory of a fine actor. Don’t these morons ever stop?

 

 

 

 

Westboro Baptist Church to Picket Heath Ledger Funeral

 

 

Atlanta, GA 1/23/2008 03:26 PM GMT (FINDITT)

 

 

 

 

Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas has announced their plans to picket at Heath Ledger’s funeral because the actor “promoted homosexuality” by his film ‘Brokeback Mountain’ in which he played a gay man.

 

 

Fred Phelps leads the church, which demostrates their strong conviction against gays, lesbians and soldiers by picketing. The Topeka, Kansas based group has made headlines in the past after picketing at the funeral’s of soldiers carrying signs reading ‘Thank God for Dead Soldiers’ and ‘God Hates Fags.’

 

 

 

“God hates the, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with womit known as Brokeback Mountain and he hates all persons having anything whatsoever to do with it,” the church writes on a flyer.

 

 

 

Ledger was found dead in a New York apartment yesterday. NYPD says his tragic death may have been drug related as a bottle of sleeping pills were found nearby his body. An autopsy is scheduled for today.

 

 

 

Ledger had one child with actress Michelle Williams.

Recent Posts

Some of my recent posts have been scattered and haphazard. That is partly because I have been posting more as I see things now that I can do it from the crackberry.

 

One post over at SCP entitled moving forward got me thinking. People talk about New Years resolutions (mine by the way is 1280x1024). You geeks will get that. Anyway, I truly see 2008 as a year of new beginnings. I think since 2003 when we moved out here to Oregon, I have spent too much time mourning and lamenting the life we had. We did have it pretty good. Nice place to live. Good job. Nice town. Friends, Active in Church. I kept saying its not the same and sank in and out of depression.

 

We have thought of returning to Minnesota but even that wouldn’t make things as they were in 03. In fact, I have changed too much to ever have things they way they were and I don’t really like who I was then. Sure I felt closer to God but it was in the context of Church.

 

I see this year as the year to accept things for what they are and fix them if possible. I want to get in shape, we joined a health club and went on a diet. I want to get out of debt. I made a plan. The consequences of the last 4 years are there but they are fixable.

 

When finished, I am sure life wont look like it did in 03 (nor should it), but it may be even better. I think its possible to have an authentic relationship with God. Have healthy relationships and do good works that make a difference. I may not be sure what this will look like.

 

2008 will be the year as Steve said of “moving forward” (buzzword attack). Perhaps its time to stop mourning the loss of what really wasn’t real to begin with. It is what it is (another buzzword). Lets all think outside the box, push the envelope and get some real synergy going on.

 

Have a great day

Ie7 install makes me nuts

I think ms should be ashamed. I hate the ie7 installer. No prog indicators just a banner that goes back and forth. It could induce insanity

Ie sucks anyway. I use firefox and opera

Snow in the Valley

I had an interesting commute this morning. Skidded out pretty good driving through North Albany. Thought I was going to be getting pulled out of the ditch. Something stopped me. Maybe it was God ( I was praying God don’t let me crash). Maybe just my Minnesota winter driving skills. Anyway my point was a little snow totally paralyzes this place. I think we need some better de-icer. I am also interested in your take on this. Whomever reads. Now I do believe in Global Warming, but I think this winter has been unusually cold and icy here in Oregon. Do you think that may be because the melting of the ice caps is cooling the pacific?

 

I sure hope people around here learn how to drive in the ice and learn what road salt is if that’s the case.

 

I guess people think global warming is going to make everything warmer but I wonder if its affect on Oregon wont be hotter summers and nastier winters. What do you all think?

Vista is a No Brainer

I was reading an article about Vista which I am convinced is a manifestation of the demonic straight from the dark lord himself. Vista that is, not the article. I lost the link but it referred to upgrading to Vista as a “no brainer”. From my perspective that really doesn’t make me want to do it. Having tried Vista, I think I agree that the OS itself is a no brainer. In that only someone with no brain would think it was ready to ship.

 

I guess my point is why would anyone want to refer to something that is for a complex machine like a computer as a no brainer. Do we really want brainless people running computers. In some respects I think Windoze 95 and AOhell ruined the Internet by doing just that.

 

I am not talking about the computer illiterate. Everyone is born that way. But those who want to stay computer illiterate and wear it as a badge of honor are a different story. Why are people proud of stupidity or at least deficiencies. I am not good at some things but I don’t go around saying, I am so proud that I suck at many sports or that I don’t know how to take apart an engine. If I had to take apart an engine, I would LEARN HOW not whine about how stupid I am. IGNORANCE IS NOT A SOURCE OF PRIDE (as my truck bumper sticker says). Why would anyone want to make anything to appeal to laziness by calling it a “no-brainer”.

 

So I guess it comes down to, if no brainers run Vista, I would rather keep my brain and run Linux (I know there are mac zealots who read this and I like macs, I just have PCs). That is just the conclusion I would have come to from the article. My personal experience with Vista is it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If you are stuck with this abysmal excuse for an operating system and want to dump it, I can assist you with downgrade rights. I guess to work in the tech industry one must think like a lawyer now.

 

Anyway, enough rambling. Have a great day.

So

Now I can blog from my Blackberry I can post things as I see them from wherever I may be. That is cool.

One more test

This is the last one I promise
