The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Ex-stripper evangelizes to sex industry RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The phone rang — again — and Heather Veitch answered in her three-bedroom tract home. It was another radio station, this time from Detroit, and the disc jockey wanted to hear the tale of the stripper turned evangelist. “I don’t try to change their life,” she said of the women she seeks out at strip clubs. “I just want them to have a relationship with God.” Amazingly, this does not appear to be an April Fool’s joke. The same story shows up on a lot of…

Whoa. Last month I cracked the lid open a little, and I'm still not sure why. My stats page logged 9,030 unique visitors. Probably 8,999 of those were spambots and trackback zombies, but still. Apparently the mere mention of H.R. 4437 drove a lot of visitors here. Huh? All I did was link to an article. Anyway, today being the first of the month, I checked to see what people are searching on today. And the result is pretty predictable: Search Keyphrases (Top 10) somali woman 2 7.6 % newton tomb 2 7.6 % capaccio bros 1 3.8 % having…

First, there was Google. Then, there was Google Mail. Then, Google Images/Video/Maps. Now, there’s Google Romance. If you’re single, this is way, way better than eHarmony, and no annoying ads on late-night TV. They seem to have coordinated with local radio stations, such as Chicago’s WXRT, for this promotion. Isn’t it romantic? Although, it’s a shame that today is the Final Saturday Flashback for WXRT. We’re in the last hour now, so we’re listening to songs from 1978 that Ruined The Nation: Boogie Oogie Oogie and so forth.

Hmmmm. It appears that I was not keeping the kitty box as clean as I should have. Thank goodness for Nature’s Miracle… excuse me while I do a little laundry. Note to self: Every other day, or every day. Every other day, or every day. Otherwise, don’t leave attractive piles of clothes around. Said cat has been chastised. Bad!! Cat!! Bad!! Naughty!! Although, to be fair, it should be Bad! Monkey! Bad! Naughty!

Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel The 200th episode will bring back the character of Martin Lloyd (Willy Garson) and his fictional TV show Wormhole X-treme, which was the subject of the 100th episode, “Wormhole X-treme,” and is a parody of SG-1 itself. Awesome. They’re even doing a wink and a hat-tip in Serenity’s direction. Look for more inside jokes. My favorite last time out was after the big exciting spaceship crash, where an assistant director and somebody else walk into shot, discussing the near-cataclysm and whether they caught it on film. “That’s OK,…

People planning a hunger strike in San Francisco might want to change their focus – they’re blaming Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA for the big bad anti-illegal immigrant bill, but it’s a HOUSE bill sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-WI. Specter’s actually a pretty decent pol who has a much more humane proposal on the table. Specter’s proposal would actually create a process for illegal immigrants to gain legal status and his efforts have won the praise of numerous immigrant advocates. It’s Sensenbrenner’s bill that critics say would criminalize illegal aliens and those who harbor and help them. Via The Swamp…

Sarah Dylan Breuer attended a meeting of something called the Lay Episcopalians for the Anglican Church. This appears to be a front for the people who want to take control of the Episcopal Church and fight the mythical “gay agenda.” Here’s what she experienced: The Witness: Inside LEAC Ince walked a careful line in the meeting. On one hand, he was eager to present LEAC as an organization completely independent, not only of the Anglican Communion Network, the American Anglican Council, and Anglicans United, but also of All Saints’ Chevy Chase — despite that it was the site for all…

I have to join this Flickr group. It’s called “Bad Parking.” This particular example is just wrong and bad and evil on so many levels. And of course, it’s emblematic of so much that is wrong with this country and our treatment of everyone else in the world. Via: Flickr Title: Compact what? By: earthdog Originally uploaded: 20 Jul ’05, 10.39pm PST No matter what kind of Hummer you have, it is not a compact car. You should not park in a compact spot. This is not that hard to understand
