11/08/2004: "Earth vs. the Ignorant"
You know, as busy as I am with writing and appearing on Paul's show,
practicing for the Dave Blood benefit, penning an article about George
Lippard, and preparing for my presentation before PhACT, I'd like to
think that I wouldn't be stupid enough to launch another project…
Announcing the Launching of Another Project.
This Friday, November 12th at 7:00pm at Fergie's Pub (Sansom Street
between 12th and 13th Streets) I will be launching Patriots Against
Santorum. Any one who can make the meeting, and who's had their fill
of Rick Santorum, is invited.
So why am I doing this now, when my main concern in life should be getting
some sleep? Well, on November 3rd I found myself dealing with a lot of
folks who were either mighty depressed, mighty angry, or a combination of
the two. Nearly all of them were talking (although how seriously, I
couldn't tell) about moving to Canada.
THIS JUST IN: Bitching, whining, and running away are the not answers. OK
, they are answers, but they're the answers to the question "How does a
nine-year-old girl deal with problems."
The real answer is to turn and fight. If ever there was a time to
turn and fight, this is it. And if ever there was a target for removal
from office, it's Santorum - The best friend a "remove Santorum from
office" movement could ask for.
Once again:
The first meeting of B>Patriots Against Santorum will convene this
Friday night at 7:00pm at Fergie's.
The ancient Greek word of the day is:
parabohqew - come to help
If the above word looks like ippojshit to you,
then you need to go here
and download the SPIONIC font for either MAC or PC. Dude.

It is expecially important, since Senator Spector will be 80 at the end of his next term, we don't let PA's senatorial delegation turn into the moral equivilant of a 'Red State'. I'll be there!

I can't help but think (either because I think Rodney gives a shit about me and other poster here or because I operate under a delusion of self-importance) that some of the 9-year-old girl smack was aimed at me because of my posts in recent weeks. While I have no voting power to unseat pRick, count me in because he and his party directly affect my life in Jesusland. I don't want to talk about GFWB anymore, but unseating pRick would be a start toward a brighter 2008.
Rodney, just get a website up and going so I can stay abreast because I can't even get loose for the Dave Blood shows.

Jack,
The 9 year old girl comments are in no way aimed at you. Years back, POE once headlined a news piece with "Angry Comments Turn Web Master into 9 year old girl"

Actually, since I left in February, I think the 9-year-old girl comment was directed toward me. But, hey, given the choice, I think Rodney would rather be in Auckland than Philly.
My choice was even easier - Auckland or Chester County (or, as I like to call it "Pennsylcanasaw")

I hardly think that some "batting practice" on Terry McAulliffe and John Edwards counts as "bitching, whining, and running away". I think of it as team building and tactical training.

Now this is too damn funny. I followed the PhACT link to the "skeptic ring" here http://l.webring.com/hub?ring=skeptic and apparently Google laid in a bunch of Psychic Hotline ads on the right hand side of the page.

Rodney,
How about PASS (Patriots Against Senator Santorum) or PUSS (Patriots to Unseat Senator Santorum?
on Tuesday, November 9th, razlerja said
Or even: Patriots Intent on Now Unseating Santorum
P. I. N. U. S
Kind of a bad spelling of another word that Rick is VERY interested in.
on Tuesday, November 9th, Rodney said
PASS - I like it.
on Tuesday, November 9th, razlerja said
Or: Action Needed to Unseat Santorum
A. N. U. S.

Actually, I'm just joking about the PINUS and ANUS ones. I am taking this quite seriously. PASS is good.
