Serenity came down with a virus of some sort on Friday, the day after our big bike trip. She had been exposed to a neighbor child who had the same thing a few days before and probably the stress of a long bike ride and all that playing really tired her out which allowed her to get sick. Or, more to my liking, the eating McDonald's food just one time weakened her immune system :-) Heh, not really but it sounds good!

She was very miserable, a fever that went up to 103 on Saturday began to decline on Sunday and we trust she will be fine by today or tomorrow.

Because Serenity was sick we skipped the Pirate Festival in Vallejo :-( We had been looking forward to that but what can you do?

Lora and I watched Canvas last night, a movie about a mentally ill mother and the impact her hospitalization had on her husband and young son. From one review I read in the NY Times I learned that the director and writer Joseph Greco's mother suffered from schizophrenia and this was a "labor of love" for him. That really came across in the film. I recommend this movie and give it an A-.

Other movies I've watched in the last few days: Omen 666 gets a C+, Teaching Mrs. Tingle gets a B-, Fantastic 4, rise of the Silver Surfer gets a C- and finally Meet the Robinson's gets a solid B+

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.
