I’m working on getting more pictures up, including my massive collection from URU, so hopefully those will be up sometime in the foreseeable future. But of course, probably not!
Did you know there are still tea parties going on? I didn’t. And apparantly there will be one on Wednesday at Boyce Park, at the ski lodge. Good lord.
A new book is coming out, entitled Secular Sabotage: How Liberals are Destroying Religion and Culture in America. Fair enough. However, as this article at Slog points out, I feel that someone is about to lose their job, since this quote appears on the dust jacket:
“Wake up, America! The secular minority has cut the brake cables on America’s In-God-We-Trust-Mobile™! Not even all 43 of our Christian presidents can save us now.” — Stephen Colbert, host of “The Colbert Report”
That makes me very happy.
Former Catholic bishop of Pittsburgh and now Archbishop of Washington, D.C. (which, I don’t think I knew there were such things as Archbishop…it’s a very impressive title) is on the crusade to stop marriage equality. Which is nothing new from the Catholic Church, although I do have to say, the picture of him is a bit scary.
And in support of marriage equality comes this video from Ireland:
Which is very well put together, although I do have to confess, I can’t tell if Irish names are male or female most of the time. Not that it matters, but to a dumb American like me, I feel like I’m missing at least something. Oh well, moving on.
If you want to read the first chapter of the first of three parts of book 12 of the Wheel of Time (whew!), check out this post at Dragonmount. The prologue will be available later for purchase as an e-book. An interesting choice. While Robert Jordan was alive, it was customary to release the prologue before the book was released. Interesting to see the change, I wonder if we’ll ever find out if it was deemed successful or not.
A new commercial is out there for the movie 9. I can’t find it on youtube or else I’d post it here, but I am very excited for it. If you want to see the short film it is based on, I’ll put that below.

That’s it for now, back to image editing for me! Happy Labor Day!
