Another small victory

Another small victory for reason and the law over religious zealotry and indoctrination.  A teacher lost the lawsuit he had filed when he was required to remove religious banners from his class room.

When you're employed by someone else, and you're on time they are paying you for, you don't have freedom of speech...  Especially when that speech is an attempt to indoctrinate our children with your religion in a public school math class!!

I guess that douche bag has never heard about the separation of church and state...  Oh that's right, he'a math teacher, not a social sciences teacher...

To Bradley Johnson, math teacher at Westview High School in San Diego, CA:  If you ever come around my children preaching your bullshit, I'll kick your ass up around your shoulders...  How do you like that for freedom of speech you bastard??!!

You will be missed Andy....

 

10 years later

This morning I took my family to watch the Sep 11 memorial ceremony at San Jose's Fire Station 1.  Among the fire engines and police motorcycles, flashing lights, the sound of bag pipes playing, children running up and down the street, one thing kept nagging at me, trying to get my attention.  It finally succeeded during one of the many long winded speeches made by the various local politicians, bureaucrats, and other empty suits...

"After 10 years, 2 wars, thousands of lives lost, tens of thousands of lives destroyed, and trillions of dollars spent, not a god dam thing has changed..."

The Henchmen MC vs The City of San Jose

I woke up this morning to discover the Mercury News had a huge story about the San Jose Chapter of the Henchmen Motorcycle Club, complete with photos of members and of motorcycles.  Well good morning to you too Mercury News!!

If people were corporations

If people were corporations, this guy would be Exxon Mobile...

The bottom of the barrel

You know MSNBC is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find a news commentator when they give Al Sharpton his own show.

I have officially stopped watching MSNBC (except the Dylan Ratigan show, that's still a good show to watch).

What to do when your kids are bored...
