Found this earlier this past week, and waited to post it. Had so much good going on lately that I wanted to hold off posting it until I felt like taking a more serious tone on things. In "Beam Christians", Laurence M. Vance addresses those professing believers in Christ who are blinded by the power of military and government. And he takes especially strong shots at worshippers of George W. Bush: Christian warmongers are beam Christians. They would...

Delusion of grandeur: Bush says we are in World War III
George W. Bush is a very damaged man, a nihilistic moral midget who unfortunately happens to have too much power for his or anyone else's good. The proof for that now is that he's proclaiming that we are in the midst of World War III: US President George W. Bush said the September 11 revolt of passengers against their hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first blow of "World War III."In an interview with the financial news network CNBC, Bush...

DOCTOR WHO goodness tonight on Sci-Fi (and last week on BBC)
The American run of the new episodes of Doctor Who (which actually aired over in Great Britain a year ago) continues tonight with "The Empty Child". By far among the best of the show's first season (or twenty-seventh season, depending on how you count these things). This one ranks among my favorites of Christopher Eccleston's run as the Doctor, alongside "Dalek", "Father's...

FORCERY is now on YouTube!
Using YouTube to host The Baritones suggested to me that our first movie could be published there also.To meet YouTube's restrictions (100 MB or less and 10 minutes length or less), Forcery had to be "serialized" into seven parts. Which maybe should have been done in the first place, but anyhoo...Here's Part 1 of Forcery:And here are the links for all the chapters:Forcery Part 1Forcery Part 2Forcery Part 3Forcery Part 4Forcery Part 5Forcery Part...

THE BARITONES - World Premiere Tonight!
Man, what a day! A friend's wedding. Alligators out the wazoo. And to top it all off, tonight on Monday Night Live on WGSR Star 39, I got to sit in the studio with Ken and Mark on live television as we world premiered my newest film, The Baritones! It's a parody of the opening intro from HBO's The Sopranos, 'cept this one was filmed in Reidsville, Eden, and a few other places around Rockingham County, North Carolina. Now it's time to share it...

Congratulations to the new couple, and may God shower all His blessings upon them as they begin their new life together.(Oh yeah, and there were several live alligators running...

Dinner at The Melting Pot
Yesterday was Lisa's birthday. So we celebrated by going to The Melting Pot here in Greensboro. It's a fondue restaurant where you get a 3-course meal fixated around the... well, a melting pot in the center of the table. Appetizer was a selection of bread and fruit that got dipped into a creamy cheddar cheese concoction. The main course was the "Ultimate Sampler" of various meats (chicken, tenderloin, lobster, shrimp, salmon) done in "fondue...

A thing of beauty
Two gallons (one already in use) of Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q Sauce. We always bring a gallon or two (or three) of the stuff on our way back from Lisa's family in Georgia. Of all the barbecue concoctions I've had over the years - and there've been plenty - Williamson Bros. sauce stands out as my favorite. Having an ample supply of the stuff in our kitchen is such a glorious...

Same car used to deliver pizza and corpses
This is just too weird to not post here. Here's the story from The Smoking Gun:Stiffs And SlicesDomino's delivery man transported pizza, corpses in same carAPRIL 27--In what will surely repulse Pennsylvanians, a Domino's delivery man used a car to transport corpses to funeral parlors when he wasn't using the vehicle to bring pies and Cheesy Bread to pizza enthusiasts. Last Friday, a Lower Southampton Township Police Department officer pulled over...

It's "The 6-6-Sims"! More from the Left Behind franchise
Last year I posted a rant about the Left Behind books, and how it was becoming too much of a franchise. Some people said it might be one of the best (and funniest) things I've written here so far. In that screed I wondered why it is that Left Behind needs so many books to tell one story across seven years: Harry Potter needs only seven to tell his story for the same amount...

Star Wars Celebration III... one year later
It was this weekend last year, April 21-24 of 2005, when Star Wars Celebration III was underway in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lisa and I packed up my car and left Greensboro, NC around 6:30 the night before the festivities began. We drove through some crazy countryside (Ohio seemed to go on forever) but about noon local time the next day, we made it. We were there for all...

Gas prices in Greensboro, North Carolina
These were taken just today:These prices averaged about twenty cents cheaper about a week and a half ago. There's at least one station that is selling gas at $3.09.The oil company execs claim there's no price gouging going on. They're saying they aren't out to exploit any situation. They want you to believe that they're as helpless as the rest of us are when it comes to...

KWerky Productions website is back up!
Ed (the co-founder of KWerky Productions) has spent the past few days working to bring our website up. He did all of that, plus all the things that come with him getting married just 11 days from now :-) Anyhoo, KWerky Productions is officially legit (again) now that we've got two movies under our belt and currently working on a bigger project.Here's the address if you want...
