Jesus Is Coming, Look Busy

This is a joke from a t-shirt, but really not so funny.  Why is everyone so busy, but not getting any real work done?  Do you not believe Jesus when he says, "I will give you rest for your souls"?  He absolutely will.  Do you really enjoy mindless busiwork?  Because, if that's what you want, He'll let you do it for eternity.

One of my favorite movie experiences, was a cable show featuring an extended scene of a character simply staring into the camera.  The work of God is easy and fun.

Want to know if your kid is on drugs?

Quite interestingly, there are some very clear "signs" that drug users broadcast.

Weed:  Personally, I don't think anyone who hasn't graduated high school should be messing around with pot.  So, if you're a parent, and agree, here's what to look for if you think your kid is smoking reefer:

Bob Marley anything.  Nobody, I mean NOBODY listens to Bob Marley (raggae) until they've tried pot.  So that's one super-obvious thing.  Other less obvious "symbols" to look for (that I think are pretty reliable):  Worms, rabbits, tigers, the color green.  Also, if your kid is some kind of genius at art, or is in a band.  If your kid is in a band, look out---odds are he's selling weed on the side.

Speed, AKA meth, amphetamines, glass, ice, chalk.  Speed freaks display an unusual love for cats.  Look for:  bleached hair or a shaved head, interest in Nazis, spotless bedroom, lightbulbs disappearing (they use them as pipes), random nap-taking.

Heroin, AKA oxy contin, loratabs, opiates, smack.  Common signs:  horses, bears, cows (strangely enough), chickens, homosexual tendencies.

Ecstacy:  I call these pills "cobras" because they are pure venom.  Made of methamphetamines and something else that is probably heroin.  Signs:  tunnel vision, and major cluttering (stacking things instead of putting them away).

So, I hope this helps and saves some kids.

Oh yeah, cocaine, AKA crack.  Signs:  skunks, tuxedos, flames.  Crack smoke smells kind of like burning baking soda, and may cause a sinus headache.

I don't buy into the religion of "addiction" and think anyone can quit anything.  Withdrawal, my ass.

And of course there's alcohol.  I wouldn't worry about that.

Like to Follow Trends? Here's One.

Comic books have returned from obscurity and are now a super-hot trend.  Last time I was at Prairie Dog Comics (here in Wichita), almost every new release was sold-out.

I'm so glad the art in them has improved to purchase-worthy quality.  Really, how fun are comics?  All the excitement that was there as a kid is still there.

And let's hear it for Prairie Dog for holding on to the dream.

Once More, Then I'll Stop on this Topic

Didn't they used to call negative inflation, deflation?

Human Rights

Why does a schizophrenic have fewer rights than a felon?

What do I mean? I mean that at the mental hospital, the staff can FORCE you to take any medication THEY deem necessary. In a prison, they can't force prisoners to take any medication at all.

Why is this a problem you ask? Because drugs have SIDE EFFECTS. Many are unknown and can permanently change a patient's body chemistry.

One of these drugs is ATIVAN. I was FORCED to take this drug, by an RN and two security guards, because THEY THOUGHT I SHOULD. One dose was all it took to radically alter my body chemistry, maybe for life.

One week after being FORCED to take this drug, I started having severe panic attacks. I'll spare you the long story, but now I am basically ADDICTED to this drug, because without it the panic attacks return.

Why do criminals have more rights than the mentally ill???

Corruption and Cash

They say that power corrupts. Maybe. But one thing that corrupts society is cash. I look forward to a cashless society, where money is as abstract as math, and exists only as ones and zeros in computers.

Cash is dirty---filthy, really---and encourages panhandling, crack-heads and bad TV show plots. If you can't remember your PIN for your debit card, shame on you---you are retarded and should be deported to Antarctica.

Fear of God & Fear of No God

These two fears are similar, and common among the faithful.

Fear of God is what you get when you haven't heard from God in a while. The same thing causes a fear of no God.

But when you do manage to get in touch with Him, He sets your mind at ease.

Contagious Self-Doubt

The latest social disease to grace the planet is "self-doubt."

The TV stations spread the word, "You don't exist."

The radio blares, "We are better than you."

The internet says, "You don't matter."

The preachers preach, "You know nothing."

Make up your own mind.

A Poor Person's Observation

If you have saved more money than the FDIC will insure, you have saved too much money.

A Little More About Inflation

Just as one example of the persistence of inflation, the price of Star Wars toys has gone up 25% this year.

Oh yes, one more example. The "standard" price of comic books has risen 1/3---from 2.99 to 3.99----

"Negative inflation"???????

Negative Inflation?

Who came up with the idea that prices are going down? Do they have butlers who do all their shopping for them?

Someone, I don't know who, claims there should be no Social Security cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA), because of "negative inflation." I don't know where they shop, but I shop mainly at Walmart. True, some things went down, but they went right back up a few months later. (Walmart's "Rollbacks" are no longer forever, but only a couple months.)

And my prescription costs are basically doubling next year. Yes, I can afford it, but it adds up.

Barack, set these armchair economists straight---

Back Over 10,000

Yes, the market is back over 10,000---Thanks to February's Social Security stimulus---You see, poor people actually spend their money, unlike rich people who hoard it---So it comes as good news that the government wants to issue another Soc Sec stimulus---

If You Have Functioning Ears...

...you need to check out the band Silversun Pickups. The vibe is so good and so sweet.

The Truth About Ecstacy

Ecstacy is supposedly a new drug. Not true. It is actually the two most dangerous drugs pressed together into a pill. Those two drugs are methamphetamines and heroin.

If you trick yourself into believing this drug is enjoyable, you may soon find yourself wearing a badge, trying to save the world.

The Silliness of Twitter

If Jesus were around today, can you imagine Him using Twitter?

No, of course not. He had dignity.

That's why Twitter's so ridiculous.

Wichita's Huge Heroin Problem

I don't have any real proof, but I would guess that roughly 75% of adult Wichitans are taking some form of opiate. This is the only explanation for the terrible service all over town.

Don't you people know that opium hooks you for life? You never get over it.

There's this whole mythos surrounding pain killers, like they're sent from Heaven or something. And so many people have bought into this lie. It doesn't take long to get hooked, and quickly becomes an unbearable burden that is the furthest thing from "fun."

To all the kids out there, learn this: Junkies are liars, and will say anything to make you as miserable as them. Prescription pills are not fun or safe, and will not magically turn you into a rock star.

The Govt

It seems each new administration is more evil than the last.

All this 2012 Nonsense

If you haven't heard, the world is supposed to end (again) on Dec 12, 2012.

All this because of the Mayan calendar. You know, those scary carved discs with a monster in the middle sticking out his tongue.

How anyone gleaned anything at all out of this thing baffles me.

Tho the History Channel did its best to scare people to death (hey, it's supposed to be the history channel not the future channel), I refused to watch their stupid show.

Just like when that jerk-off movie "The Day After" or whatever it was called, came out in the 80's, about a Nuclear War----Just jerks trying to scare the hell out of kids.

And you can tell something about this "prediction" by the people who believe it. People like Mel Gibson, who spent 2 hours scourging the Jesus out of Jesus with a whip, in The Passion of the Christ. And people like Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. He's been a doomsayer for the longest time, and now has something he can call his own.

Basically, the people who believe in this new doomsday are Godless losers.

'Nuff said

A Good Laugh

Leave it to "the usual gang of idiots" at MAD Magazine to get it right.

A Couple Things

There are a couple things I really need to get out there.

First, preachers. I find nothing more disgusting and blasphemous as when preachers preach from the letters of Paul. Paul was a con man at best, and it infuriates me when preachers quote him and say they are quoting Jesus. Fools and blind, indeed.

Second, when did Barack become a dictator? His whole demeanor has become authoritarian and angry. Another con man. Bait and switch, indeed.

On a less complaining note, here is an idea for people struggling to pay their bills: Cancel your pay TV service. My cable bill was typically my largest one, after rent. Tho I've gone from 65 to 7 channels, my frustration with flipping thru expensive garbage is gone. Digital TV is not perfect (a lot of antenna adjustments), but it's free. And the one HD channel I get has a far clearer picture than my cable ever did (on a regular TV).

The Audacity of Politics-As-Usual

As I watch Barack bumble his way into the presidency, I can't help but laugh.

Nearly a trillion dollars he wants to spend, but none of it's going to the poor. Doesn't anyone know that if you give money to the poor, they are going to spend almost everything they get? It all goes into the "economy."

When you give money to the rich, all they do is hoard it, as so many have in their "retirement accounts." And they're not even the richest who have most of the money rotting away who-knows-where.

Now, God has given all the 401k holders plenty of time to bail out with a good chunk of what they invested. I fear soon it will be too late for them.

Now what did Jesus say? "If you would be perfect, sell what you have and give to the poor."

I guess Barack doesn't want to be perfect, or take good advice.

So where's this "wealth redistribution" he promised?

He's a hustler, and you all got hustled.

God's Mercy and the Stuck Market

I think God's decision to stop the market freefall shows that His mercy is greater than His wrath. And I think His stabilization of the Dow between 8,000 and 9,000 further illustrates this.

I know He wanted to teach everyone a lesson and crush the market, but He has more character than that. God is a blessing God, and delights in doing so.

There Ain't No Bus Service on Sunday...

Why Wichita? Why no Sunday bus service?

And why no mail on Sunday?

Why Is Barack So Unfunny?

I think the biggest news item of the moment is the fact that even South Park can't make Obama seem funny. What is up with this guy? He seems to have absolutely no sense of humor. Even Jesus is easy to satire. There is a point when "dignity" becomes woodenness.

Here is a neat photo of the new Intrust Arena:
