Brent’s Thoughts

I have been snapping some pictures over the weekend and I thought I would show you a couple new additions to the house. I first went around and snapped some newer pictures of the house so that people that haven’t been here since we bought it can see what all we have done. You see those in the house album located at:

You will probably see one of the new additions there. It is my train board that I built.

I built it Friday evening and I am hoping to cover it tonight after it cools down just a bit.

The second thing that we have added to the house is something that Pauline bought on Saturday. It came from the same place as something else that we already had, though it doesn’t really match it all that much.

Its Poco!!

You can see some more pictures of him in his album in the gallery located at:

His name is pronounced poke-o and Pico’s is pronounced like peek-o.

Patriot Act in Canada?

New bill being reviewed in Canada that will let the police read your email and monitor all of your internet activities. It might even give them the ability to monitor your activities inside password protected websites.

All of this AND not needing any prior judicial approval to do so!!! Does the fun ever start?

I honestly can tell is this is the same as the Patriot Act or worse. I am sure that if it is worse, the US guberment will have these in effect too, as soon as possible. We wouldn’t want anyone out there to have the right to personal privacy would we?

Comedy Central has a great set of shows on at 10:00 here. They lead off with the Daily Show, which tonight had a great segment from the Christian Right. They actual had a clip of some reverend praying for more open seats on the Supreme Court. Last time I checked positions on the Supreme Court were lifetime jobs… so by that logic… I am pretty sure he was praying for someone to die. The information that they had about the Supreme Court nominee was really good too.

They then follow that with “Too Late with Adam Carolla” where in the opening segment he talked about how absurd that it is that there are people bitching about the “Hot Coffee” mod for GTA, but aren’t bitching about the murdering of people in the same game. According to the straights:

Simulated Killing Cops and Hookers == OK;
Simulated Sex with Naked woman, wearing clothes == EVIL;

or

Watching Fear Factor with people eating worms and magots? OK
Simulated Sex with Virtual Naked Woman, wearing clothes? EVIL!!!!

Adam even mentions that he is an atheist, which I think is impressive since most people won’t say that out loud.

Two shows that might actually make people engage their brains. Of course the sheepites who need to watch something like this are the poeple that will condem them for “Speaking against GOD” or being “Un-American” or something and would never even come close to watching them.

We have been really busy at work lately and I have been putting in a lot of hours. I wouldn’t mind so much except for our working policy only has a place to list extra hours worked over the weekends. So if you prefer to just work 12 hours in a day rather than come in on a sat, you are out of luck. what does everybody think I should do about this situation?

Equal Time For Creationism

Gah!!! Come on. How far out there are the people that are running our goverment going to have to get before someone stops them? This fundamentalist Christian crap is getting out of control.
