St Thomas +Apostle and Martyr+

Today, December 21, is the day the church traditionally remembers St. Thomas, or as we sometimes call him, Doubting Thomas. There is a good summary of what we know of Thomas on Aardvark Alley here.

Last night was the Children's Christmas Program at Messiah, it was wonderful as always to hear and see the young children re-telling the story of the Nativity of our Lord in word and song. :-) Serenity had a little solo part and did quite well. Lora took a couple of photos and a short video that I don't have access to at the moment, if I can get them I'll post them up here as soon as I can. Serenity as an angel is just too cute!

The night before last we had a "block party" of sorts outside at the entrance to the court. Our neighbor Chip provided, and poured generously, some sort of peppermint schnapps that we mixed with hot chocolate. It was only after I drank it that I discovered that it was 100 proof :-) Yikes, that hot chocolate had quite a kick I'll tell you! It was very cold out but we all felt quite warm as we stood in the street and drank hot chocolate and traded stories and ate cookies. I was most uncharacteristically sociable that night.

Oh yes, and happy solstice to you all, at least now the days will begin getting longer again, though the warmth will be delayed a while as usual.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
