Westboro Baptist Church Chickens Out

 

Amazing. Oklahoma City gets an F-5 tornado, and the very best Westboro Baptist Church can do is pull out their signs and threaten to picket. Gotta love Christianity in Northeast Kansas......NOT! Fred Phelps and Company threatened to picket in Oklahoma today, insisting that "God" sent the tornado to kill people because of Jason Collins's relationship choices. They apparently did not show, frightened away by the patiently waiting bikers.

 

 

When is Northeast Kansas gonna get off it's Christian kick?

 

 

 

The Meaning Of Conception

I really thought I was only jesting when I wrote this post, just over a month ago, concerning Kansas Governor, Sam Browncrack, and his proposed legislation stating that life begins at conception. Apparently, the United States actually has a few morons in the judicial branch of government who actually might consider pressing charges against women for spontaneous abortions. In Mississippi and Alabama, women who have miscarried or given birth to stillborn babies have been charged and prosecuted under laws that were written to protect children from exposure to the manufacture and trade of methamphetamine, and in Virginia, legislation requiring women to report miscarriages to law enforcement has been proposed! At this point in our history, we do not have the medical technology to even begin to diagnose the cause of each and every spontaneously aborted pregnancy. How can we charge the mothers with criminal acts? What about the fathers, and possible flawed sperm?
 

It really seems as if, back in the day, when I saw this movie the first time, I heard the chorus as:
"Every sperm is sacred,
 every sperm is blessed,
 if any sperm was wasted,
 God would sure be pissed!"

 

A Visit From Grandfather

 

My prayers for strength were answered by my Grandfather. He simply told me never to forget who I am, and never to forget that I am loved. My understanding of those two things is power.
 

 

A Policeman's Beat For Jesus

How would you feel if a cop came to your house and beat you up, as a personal favor to a county attorney, because you refused, as a witness, to distort the truth for her in a case she wanted to try? And if you heard that this cop likes to taze people with pacemakers, just for fun, would you ever want to hear about his religion again?

If The Glove Does Not Fit, You Must Acquit

Last April, a man named John Brennan was arrested for indecent exposure in Portland, Oregon, when he got impatient with airport procedures and TSA agents and took off all of his clothing so that they could plainly see that he was not attempting to sneak explosives onto the plane. Apparently, a glove worn by a TSA agent had allegedly tested positive for silver nitrate, and the only possible source of silver nitrate was obviously John Brennan, so they hassled him. He was acquitted of indecent exposure by the Supreme Court in Oregon last year when a judge ruled that stripping off one's clothing in order to demonstrate that one is not carrying explosives is a legal expression of one's First Amendment rights. This should really serve as a lesson to a certain prosecutor in Marshall County, Kansas concerning constitutional rights. TSA is further harassing John Brennan about paying a fine of one thousand dollars, but as anyone watching this case would expect, he is appealing this.

 

In Case You Missed Church On Sunday

I saw this on Facebook the other day, and realized that it has been altogether too long since I have poked fun at Jehovah's Witnesses here in Siri's World! Of course, had I never met a Jehovah's Witness in the first place; specifically, at my door in unsuccessful and annoying attempts to convert me to pathetic pretenses of being someone I am not, I would not poke fun at them.

 

Speaking of doors, the husband of a friend of mine solved all of his Jehovah's Witness problems simply by answering the door naked when they rang the doorbell!

 

 

Kansas Prosecutor Lets Teens Drive Drunk

It appears that Laura McNish, county attorney for Marshall County, Kansas, has given a seventeen year old child carte blanche to drink underage, and drive while intoxicated, as long as she is willing to make whatever statements are needed in court in order to gain a conviction in a certain case. This is a very possible explanation for  last weekend's escapade involving the police, the very same seventeen year old, a very telling breathalyzer, yet no arrests. The prosecutor scratches this young girl's back by making sure she does not get arrested for drinking underage, and she, in turn, will scratch the prosecutor's back by making whatever statements she wishes for her to make in court, be they true or not; or so it seems. Don't worry, yours truly and one or two other individuals got the names of the officers involved, and the report from Marshall County. The fact that it happened is already documented.

This county prosecutor had better hope and pray that nothing untoward happens to my daughter while she has this untoward permission to drink and drive.

 

Note: Someone with whom I work told me to remind you that people who live in glass houses should avoid throwing stones. Should your family enjoy the same as what you have bestowed upon other families? You should give that some serious thought, McNish. Soon.
