I am going to hell.

Chris is:

  • more arrogant.

  • less old-fashioned.
  • less pure.

Homophobia: Pass It On

Perhaps you’ve driven down a country road, saw one of these billboards and sparked a positive thought even if only for a milisecond. Well you got played.

Ask “The Foundation For A Better Life” (values.com) (Philip Anschutz) why they’ll never have a gay person on a billboard.

I want to be so rich that I can’t fathom a single benefit to any social program.

At least one post from China

My likely one and only post from China. It’s pretty interesting here. The only thing that keeps coming to mind is: watch out America. These people have a work ethic which is remarkable. What they seemingly lack in the specifics of higher education they make up for in desire to learn.

Demand FBI Budget Cuts

Dear President Obama,

I am in favor of universal healthcare. Some complain that we just can’t afford it. I for one thing we can pull tight our bootstraps and dig deep to find the money to pay for it. Step #1 cut back on the FBI’s Lamborghini fund.

Sincerely,
