Barack's first order of business..

When Barack Obama takes office on January 20th, 2009 his first order of business will be...
Have George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfiwitz, Robert Gates, and Paul Bremer all arrested on The White House lawn. Parade them through the streets of Washington D.C. in their shit stained underwear and lead them off to life imprisonment.I haven't forgotten all of the corrupt politicians in Congress, everyone at FOX, Rush Limbaugh, G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Savage, Glen Beck, all the religious nuts like Billy Graham, Rick Warren, Ted Haggard, John Hagee, Rod Parsley, Pat Robertson, Robert Schuler and so on. There will be enough scumbags to open up Alcatraz again. I guess these criminals would be enough for me to be pro death penalty. I'm starting to see visions of another round of crucifixions, I'd pay top dollar for front row tickets to see this event. I'm thinking Fountain Square at lunchtime!!!
At least I'm trying to think positive....

Today's leading Atheist

Bill Maher

Christopher Hitchens
Sam Harris

Richard Dawkins All you have to do is type in their names and check out the individual websites to understand why they are four of my favorite people in the world. It takes alot to stand up for your beliefs especially in the world we live in. Hats off to all four of them for their contributions to our secular society.

Homeland Security

No explanation needed for this one!

Great Misfits Records

Every song on these two records are punk classics. Everyone tells me Danzig was the man. I agree on those old Misfits records. But these two records with Michael Graves as singer are top notch. The song writing is fantastic and Graves is in fine form. Danzig aside, these two releases are must haves in your collection.

Two Cool Images

I found these two images from one of my favorite grassroots organizations: Freedom From Religion Foundation.

We made history!!!!!!!!

I'm proud to be part of American history. All the blogs, e-mails, myspace bulletins, talking until your voice is gone was all worth it. We now start our road to recovery. The United States got a face lift last night, a new identity if you will. The last 8 years have tarnished us, made us sick in the gut, made us ugly to the rest of the world. Now we have an intelligent, uncorrupted, idea man going into office. While the devil dog(christian) from hell bows he head in shame and rides off into the fiery distance Thanks to everyone who had the fortitude to vote for Barack Obama. I was right, Ohio is now a BLUE STATE!

It's election night in Northside:
Cincy Rocks Obama@ Northside Tavern 7:00pm.
SS-20 and The Serfs @ The Comet 9:00pm
Shake It Records is offering 10% off all purchases tonight and tomorrow. Come down and celebrate history in Northside.

Dancing In The Streets!!!

When Barack Obama wins the election tomorrow there is going to be dancing in the streets. This one is going to be for Martin Luther King and Howard Zinn. Two heroes of mine.

The Abortion Issue!

Yesterday we took a ride to take in the sunshine and pleasant temperature. We went through the town of Lawrenceberg Indiana. We were at the main intersection waiting for the light to change. Both sides of the street are lined with Anti-Abortion people. I'm all for the right to protest and have rallys. It's the first amendment after all. But I'm not cool with the posters they are displaying. We have a kid in the car and I'm trying to distract her attention from these people. As I have always said..ABORTION IS A RELIGIOUS ISSUE NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE. If you want to protest the war please do it. If you want to protest the government do it. If you want someone elected to office, please walk around with their sign. And VOTE!!!
I am a tried and true PRO-CHOICE advocate, always will be. I am a huge supporter of Planned Parenthood. In this country of religious fanaticism (still absolutely no proof of god's existence) I am damned to hell(no proof of its existence either). I don't know a single human being on this earth that is pro-abortion (they don't exist either). Most people I have run across (or would like to run over) are pro-life and pro death penalty. That always cracks me up. A majority of these people are religious and vote republican. I'm not making it up!
The founding fathers had this little thing called Seperation of Church and State. The abortion issue falls into this category. It came up as a political issue and was voted on and settled back in the 1970s. Only a lack of common sense and religious mania keeps it in the limelight. It's amazing to me that people who protest Planned Parenthood buildings and kill doctors care so much about the unborn. Once the child is born,they elect officials who don't care one bit about educating or providing adequate health care for the child. When the child gets older the same people elect the same officials who don't care about labor rights or civil rights, they start wars and destroy the environment. It's an ugly vicious cycle.
So the next time you want to protest at an abortion clinic, bring a check for $100,000 dollars and give it to the woman going in the front gate. It will help pay for all the suffering and emotional distress you are putting her through and it will help birth, educate and keep well the unborn child. If you don't have the money then mind your own business and do something productive with your life. Don't forget that we also have FREEDOM FROM RELIGION!!!!!!

New Cd's

The Libertines are playing at the Jockey Club Reunion '08 show on November 22 2008 at The Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky. The music starts exactly at 9:00pm.

Joey Shithead the singer of D.O.A. contributed a piece to the Jockey Club Book. Their new cd celebrates 30 years of punk rocking for Joey. I'm proud to say I saw them many times in the 1980s at The Jockey Club. All these years and they are still kicking down the walls..

Hillary Rally In Northside!!

Yesterday we were at the Hillary rally here in Northside at the Postal Carriers Union Hall. It was a cool to hear Governor Ted Strickland speak and introduce Steve Driehaus (District 1) and Victoria Wulsin (District 2) running for congressional seats. When Hillary came out I put Rory up on my shoulders and she was clapping and cheering loudly. I have to say that Hillary is a dynamic speaker and she had everyone going nuts for Barack Obama. I think Ohio really is a BLUE STATE after all.
