Happy First of April, You FoolsHey, check out the special April Fool's American Street. See if you can guess which item I contributed. 8:20:59 AM ![]() |
Hell on EarthIt's probably time to start making your summer vacation plans, and so we have a suggestion for you: the Worldview Weekend Branson Family Reunion.
What kind of comedy, you ask? Why, the comedy stylings of Kirk Cameron and Ray!
Engage them, handcuff them, and force them to accept
And besides learning not to not just polish the fire-engine of apologetics the Kirk and Ray way, the weekend will offer even more humor, such as:
Well, eventually menoapause would have caused her to leave her life of abortions, but what the hell, this sounds like a fun seminar for the kiddies.
Think this sounds kind of hard to believe? Well, here's the photo (and caption) that proves Steve's story: ![]() Steve Saint with Minkaye, the man that killed his father Nate Saint. Minkaye became a believer and Steve grew up calling him his "tribal father." Hey, that would be a great plot for a sitcom: "He killed the young man's dad, but then he became a believer, and so the young man had to forgive him. It's Saint and the Tribal Father. They're cops!" Now, for the spiritual part of the weekend: Matt "Bubba" Gumm and Thom "Gabby" Gumm, "back by popular demand." ![]() Don't you just feel closer to God after looking at them? I think the "great Bible teaching" will be offered by Dave Hammer, Jim Barber, and Hootchi, the Dog With the Thyroid Problem.

Just a Project to Give Retirees Something to Do
So, Walter McCarty is just an old guy who wants to get out of the house, and so joined the Minuteman Project, where he will meet up with some other old guys and have a little pretend "adventure" on in the desert while they watch for illegal aliens -- and if they see anybody trying to cross the border, what could a bunch of old guys do anyway except take notes? (The gun strapped to Mr. McCarty's leg is probably just an old army souvenir that doesn't even work.) Sounds like heart-warming fun, doesn't it? But there's more to old Mr. McCarthy. Stuff that the Times didn't mention. For instance, that he was Tim McVeigh's firearms teacher, and they discussed militia matters not too long before McVeigh began making his bomb preparations.
Apparently Mr. McCarty had no problem with McVeigh's anti-government views and fascination with guns, as he never dreamed that McVeigh would do anything like blow up a government building, because McCarty never has, despite being an anti-goverment militia enthusiast with a fascination for fire arms. I bet he he did. And while there is no indication that Mr. McCarty had any influence over McVeigh, or was in any way involved in what happened in Oklahoma City, the fact that he is the kind of guy whom an angry , anti-goverment type like McVeigh would seek out seems to say something about McCarty -- and about the project which attracted McCarty.
Um, maybe the defense would imply that Mr. McCarty and his militia buddies did, which is why McCarty didn't want to testify. Anyway, I find it interesting that Mr. McCarty, known for his milita associations, has joined up with "The Minuteman Project." And when I want to learn more about American militias and such, I turn, as always, to the invaluable David Neiwert. Here's the first part of his most recent post on the subject:
So, Mr. McCarty should feel right at home. I just hope that nobody gets hurt this time. 2:17:48 AM |
