Second Quote of the Day
“The Democratic Convention in Charlotte finally heard a pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-religious liberty message last night – but unfortunately, it came after the official speeches. For those who noticed, this convention was heavily focused on the issues of abortion and homosexuality, though speakers seemed afraid to utter either word. On his radical social agenda, the President did not disappoint. He explained that the only politicians who can talk about marriage are those like himself who wish to redefine it out of existence.”
– Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, on gay marriage.
At least all those goddamned queers have a punter on their side!

First Quote of the Day
“I can assure you that gay people getting married will have zero effect on your life. They won’t come into your house and steal your children. They won’t magically turn you into a lustful cockmonster. They won’t even overthrow the government in an orgy of hedonistic debauchery because all of a sudden they have the same legal rights as the other 90 percent of our population – rights like Social Security benefits, child care tax credits, Family and Medical Leave to take care of loved ones, and COBRA healthcare for spouses and children.”
– Chris Kluwe, punter for the Minnesota Vikings on gay marriage.

Happy Labor Day!
Today is Labor Day in the United States. Thanks to all the hard-working people here and across the globe who try to make their communities a better place. This is an especially poignant and troublesome time in the U.S., due to the ongoing economic crisis and the relentless political wrangling. Nevertheless, people work hard – often too hard – for too little money and even less appreciation. Believe me! I feel your pain. For those working today here in the U.S. and all over the world, congratulate yourselves anyway for giving it your best. You deserve it!

September 2, 2012 – 109 Days Until Baktun 12
Survivalist Tip: I mentioned in a previous post that you should have hurricane lamps available in the aftermath of the apocalyptic upheaval. But, you’ll definitely need flashlights, too. Flashlights have been around for over a century and rank just below air conditioning and telephones as one of the greatest inventions of the past 200 hundred years. Flashlights, of course, are battery-powered; an essential feature, considering that utility companies will be rendered useless for some time. A flashlight, therefore, is critical as an alternative light source. It will help you search for food in the darkness, or surprise a member of your posse as they try to purloin more than their share of chocolate. Make certain you have more than just one flashlight on hand, along with an ample supply of batteries. We don’t know how long power companies will be out of commission. Besides, flashlights aren’t just for illumination; they also make great defense weapons.

Quote of the Day
“If you’re jealous of those with more money, don’t just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself – spend less time drinking or smoking and socializing, and more time working.”
– Gina Rinehart, Australian mining tycoon, in a recent magazine piece.
Rinehart, who is the world’s richest woman with a $30 billion fortune, earned her money the old fashioned way: she inherited it.
