Sic Semper Tyrannis

I just wanted to say that. It's actually Virginia's motto. Wikipedia says it is often mistranslated as "death to tyrants" but actually means "thus always to tyrants". At any rate I prefer the mistranslation personally, and the state's seal seems to favor it as well. Who needs latin anyway? Screw it. DEATH TO TYRANTS!

Well John Stossel did a pretty good interview of Glenn Beck on 20/20 Friday night. It's nice to see self proclaimed libertarians starting to infiltrate the mainstream media. It was a nice piece. I'm glad there are people like Beck and Stossel out there who can put a smiley face on liberty, because I'm a tad bit more rough around the edges. Personally I think Beck needs a bit of polishing on his philosophy and debate skills, (and I'm available, btw, for a small fee), but all in all he's the best man we've got in the media today. I continue to look for men with backbone who are willing to be in the limelight (as I have done). They are few and far between. Even that joker Ken Lewis is licking the feds' boots. I could not believe I was watching it... He actually testified before congress that yes he was pressured to take the tarp money and push the deal through with merril, but sugar coated it by immediately following up like a puppy dog who got caught crapping on the carpet with some drivel along the lines of "but it was for our own good". Please. If you're making that kind of jack you need to go buy yourself a set of balls buddy.

Tomorrow the free thought society of Northwest Arkansas (which I am of course proud to be a member of) is hosting a presentation and book signing by Dr. Darrel Ray. I did the press release for it but I don't think we got any play (I listed the founder as the contact so I don't know if he got any airtime or press). Ray is a psychologist with a degree in religion as well. He will discuss and sign his book, "The God Virus", which as I understand it puts religion in its place as a short circuit in the human mind. I of course will have a full analysis after meeting Dr. Ray and reading his book. Hopefully we'll draw in a few hecklers to liven it up a bit.
