This and That
The goat tethered to a tree outside of Max Beauvoir’s home is doomed.
Beauvoir, tall and majestic with closely cropped white hair, is a voodoo priest who was just named the religion’s supreme master, a newly created position that is aimed at reviving voodoo.
I got not problems with it, getting back to your roots is a good thing. I can imagine there will be a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth over public live animal sacrifices so hopefully they’ve got a plan to deal with the ‘save the chickens and goats‘ crowd that is sure to emerge from somewhere – usually a bunch of westerners who seem to think they have the answer to all the worlds problems.
They can also look forward to even further, and probably louder, demonization by the church, another bunch who thinks they know what’s best for us all and need to be, IMO, roundly told to F-R-O.
Via Lew Rockwell, the horrors of Sharpe markers
Adams School District 50 is defending its decision to punish a third grader for sniffing a Sharpie marker.
Eight-year-old Eathan Harris was originally suspended from Harris Park Elementary School for three days. Principal Chris Benisch reduced the suspension to one day after complaints from Harris’ parents.
Harris used a black Sharpie marker to color a small area on the sleeve of his sweatshirt. A teacher sent him to the principal when she noticed him smelling the marker and his clothing.
“It smelled good,” Harris said. “They told me that’s wrong.”
Go ahead, tell me you’ve never in your whole entire elementary school life taken a sniff of permanent marker – the kids right, it smells good, and the school is the one that needs punishing for this.

Like a number of people without a ticket to the Nationals’ game Sunday, Mark Butler stood outside the left field gate and watched some of the historic event from a distance. The Minnesota man carried a digital camera to capture the memories. For a member of the Uniformed Division of United States Secret Service, Butler captured too much.
9NEWS NOW photographer Greg Guise was rolling when an officer approached Mark Butler. Butler said the officer demanded he delete any pictures that showed the security checkpoints set up to screen fans for the visit by President George Bush.
“It’s kind of like not being in America,” Butler said.
They’re almost right, it’s exactly like being in the new America

This forked symbol [ the peace sign ] was designed for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC) and was adopted as its badge by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in Britain, and originally was used by the British nuclear disarmament movement. It was later generalised to become an international icon for the 1960s anti-war movement, and was also adopted by the counterculture of the time. It was designed and completed February 21, 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist in Britain for the April 4 march planned by DAC from Trafalgar Square, London to the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston in England.

I’ve always suspected that increased voodoo activity would bring on the zombie apocalypse. Better get prepared now.
IT’S IN REVELATIONS PEOPLE!!!!
I once had the opportunity (on line) to discuss voodoo with a practitioner – an interesting belief structure. Not one I think I’d be suited to, but that sort of inside information is pretty hard to come by in our ‘oh jeez, did you see that, they sacrificed a chicken ferchristssake‘ society.
– not to mention what goes on inside the we know best, ‘it’s in the book of revelations‘ crowd ‘eh
