This last weekend before the election we should all be getting voters to commit to going to the polls or voting absentee, and I certainly have been doing that and will continue, but only after a short break from politics. My wife and I are sporadically celebrating 14 years of adventure together (yes, sweetheart, I […]
Yesterday was a lot of fun. We started with the SGI-USA Fortune District discussion meeting at Maria’s house where we talked about compassion and embracing our neighbors, and we heard an experience from Maria. Jeff announced that the 2006 Annual Study Guide is available online, by order, and at the community center bookstore. Then many […]
It’s getting close to the anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the United States by a group of men, mostly from Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who were outraged by the sexual liberty of women, gay marriage, birth control, and no-fault divorce. RenaRF has a great story about Fear, Real Fear vs. Manufactured Fear […]
Saturday, Erci and I hosted our third annual men’s division Virginia West chapter meeting in our home. The chapter is a lot smaller now, as it has been split two years in a row because of growth in local Soka Gakkai membership numbers (woo hoo!). Yesterday we went up to Purceville for Potomac Chapter’s annual […]
Couldn’t resist… the devil (prehensile-wit) made me do it… You can misbehave yourself by visiting churchsigngenerator. We all “aim to misbehave” don’t we?
This just about sums up my feelings about the U.S. administration so eloquently and succinctly that it deserves spreading around.

FilmStripInternational Thanks Kate!
Wired magazine has a pretty interesting article about the Passion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster online right now, it mentions the upcoming Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster book (expected in March) and has a short interview with Bobby Henderson wherein he mentions that proceeds from the book and Venganza website are funding the construction […]
There has been a lot of hoopla raised by the usual goof-ball rabble rousers (mostly that coward Bill O’Reilly over at Faux-News and the so-called American Family Association) about some supposed war on Christmas. At first I thought this was some sort of joke, and that the goof-balls were just ranting out of sheer spite, […]
There is a very interesting and revealing story in the Washington Post about why the wealthy appear to be more likely to support President Bush’s adventure in colonialism than the less affluent. It appears, though no scientific studies have been made, that the wealthy have less to lose as their children are not likely to […]
“Two nations, under Bush – very divisible… with liberty and justice for only a chosen few.” Wow – that sums it all up, n’est pas? A week after the fiasco of 2004 I am still reeling from the realization that a significant proportion of American voters are so ignorant, and so immoral, that they could […]
