noui consilia et ueteres quaecumque monetis amici,

sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes
cauta est et ab illis incipit uxor

Ego ipse custodes custudio

While reading more about Crackergate, I ran across this gem:

Stricter anti-drunk driving standards could hinder Irish priests after Mass

That just cracks me up!

The "Holy Eucharist" is nothing more than a cracker.

Believe what you will (it is a free country) but it still is just a cracker, and saying so is not hate speech. Threatening a cracker is not hate speech. The only hate speech here is coming out of your mouth. Threatening a person is a lot different than threatening a cracker.

I'm reading some of the hate mail that these so called "Peaceful" Catholics are sending PZ Myers. What a bunch of freakin' loons. You know what makes people anti-Catholic? Catholics like these!

Oh, this one is CLASSIC!

PS - I find it rather funny that so many people are incredibly tolerant (nice buzzword) until they feel offended. Then all tolerance goes out the window.

Detect the Irony?

So far today, I have received 39 pieces of personal hate mail of varying degrees of literacy, all because I was rude to a cracker. Four of them have included death threats, a personal one day record. Thirty-four of them have demanded that I be fired. Twenty-five of them have told me to desecrate a copy of the Koran, instead, or in some similar way offend Muslims, because — in a multiplicity of ironic cluelessness — apparently only some religious icons must be protected, and I would only offend Catholics because they are all so nice that none of them would wish me harm. I even have one email that says I should be fired, that the author would like to kill me, and that I only criticize because Catholics are so gentle and kind.

Oh, and of course, the university president's office has also received lots of mail demanding my immediate ouster (keep in mind, though…Catholics are no threat to anyone at all.) I don't know how much, but since Donohue published the president's email address and not mine, I imagine it's much greater than what I've seen. Those lovely Dark Age fanatics at the Catholic League have started a write-in campaign to start up an inquisition.

So no poll-crashing today. Instead, I would appreciate it if you would write a short note to President Robert Bruininks in support (he's going to hate me for this). I have to ask for a few constraints, though: only do so if you are willing to sign a real name to it — most of the complaint mail I'm getting uses fake names, making it much less persuasive — and that, unlike the religious screeds I'm seeing, you take the time to proofread and send him something that at least looks like a high school graduate wrote it, which will put you way above the level of the hate mail. Be polite and rational, too!

If you really want to impress, send him regular mail at this address:

President Robert H. Bruininks
202 Morrill Hall
100 Church Street S.E.
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN 55455

Bill Donohue has a loud, braying voice, and he's already trying to stir up a witch hunt. We need a counter-campaign from the secular community.

Jen and I went to Universal Studios this week end.
I have lots of stories (like our 90 minute timeshare adventure) and more pictures (on film, I'll scan them in later) so expect a longer post in a few days.

Oh, and we saw the Blue Man Group! One of the pics is Jen standing with the band.

It's never a good sign when you see two or three specials about one of your heroes as you flip through TV channels.

All I have to say is:

Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.

And you are right, Tits doesn't even belong on the list.

I'll miss you.

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.

1. A chain saw
2. Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor)
3. Mila Jovovich, because I would just be that bad ass.
