Happy Samhain

It’s Samhain, (pronounced sow wan), the Celtic New Year, as well as, (some say), the Witches New Year. I hope everyone has a great time celebrating the festivities and is safe while doing so.

Brightest Blessings in the coming year for all! May whatever Gods or Goddesses you bend knee in prayer to bless and keep you in safety and health.

Your Ever Grateful Host,

Les Misbarack an homage to Les Miserables

This is for anyone who’s a fan of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I found this on Geek USA’s blog.

Here’s the Video:

Apologies

I want to offer my apologies for missing a few days updating my blog. I’ve been busy with life stuff, as I am sure you have been as well.

I will try to update at least once a day from now on. I apologize to you, the readership who supports this blog simply by reading what I write here.

Thank you for that, by the way.

What California’s Propositon 8 will mean for America

By now you’ve probably heard about California’s Proposition 8. If you haven’t, its a vote to enact a Constitutional ban on Gay Marriage.

If this measure is passed, millions of Gay Americans will have rights stripped from them. Reread that sentence. Right now, California has NO BAN on Gay marriage. Its perfectly legal to get married in California for Gay men and women.

Proposition 8 will take that right away from these Americans. What sort of society do we live in when we are willingly taking rights away from people based on religious beliefs? This measure is simply a way for the Christian Right to gain more political power and to dictate morals to everyone else.

As a native Californian, (albeit who doesn’t live in California anymore), I am firmly against Proposition 8 because it violates the rights as laid down by our own Constitution. I am appalled at the notion that any one group would be willing to strip rights away from another group simple because they don’t like who they sleep with, or who they want to marry.

If you live in California, I urge you to vote NO on 8 on November 4th. If this measure passes, it will be used as a stepping stone in other states to promote a Christian controlled theocracy where anyone not professing Christian beliefs are rounded up and placed in a concentration camp and the self fulfilling prophecy that is Revelation will come to pass; if you don’t show a Cross, you can’t vote, be a member of society, buy food, rent a house, or own a car. In short, the Cross will become the Mark of the Beast.

Now I know this last sentence will probably piss you off if you’re a Christian. Guess what: I don’t care. Your political party has too much power in this country and is violating Constitutional law. I will not stand idly by while your zealotry destroys this country.

STOP PROPOSITION 8! SAVE AMERICA WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!

The Courage of Those Willing to Stand Together

Here’s a video of a group of Muslims, and one self-identified Conservative Christian who stood up to a couple of racist hate mongers outside a McCain/Palin rally. I applaud the courage of these Americas to stand up and shout down the racist elements in Senator McCain’s campaign.

If everyone in America stood up and shouted down the racists, what a country we could be.

Here’s a link to the video:

ANP Video

The sad part of this story (beyond the race hatred and fear mongering) is, one of the gentlemen in the video, Daniel Zubairi, a Muslim who works for the McCain campaign, was scheduled to talk with CNN’s Rick Sanchez via a telephone interview. Someone at the McCain campaign made the decision to pull Mr. Zubairi off the interview for unknown reasons.

I just have to wonder why the McCain campaign would deliberately avoid a chance to clear the air regarding these racists comments. What are they trying to do?

It makes you wonder, or, if it doesn’t, it should.

I Voted Today; You Should Too

I exercised my civic duty today and voted. I took advantage of the early voting process. I urge you to do the same and vote for the candidate you feel is best suited to the job.

What if Palin is Elected President?

Okay, the full title should read “What if Palin is Elected Vice President, then John McCain Dies in Office?” but all that wouldn’t fit. At any rate, here’s a flash animation site which deals with this very topic. I don’t know who did it, but they are brilliant (and are probably hiding their identities for fear of retribution from the McCain/Palin Goon Squad).

NOTE: You will probably need to upgrade to the latest Flash player version. Do a google search for “Flash player upgrade” or something along those lines to find the upgrade.

Palin as President

Enjoy!

Just don’t have my muse today, so you are hereby spared my long-winded diatribe.
