I think I owe a lot of people an appology… I have been a longtime vocal critic of creationalist theories. That is until the other day - over lunch. I was eating a plate of Heinz Spaghetti (Surprise) when I saw the light and “was touched by his noodly apendages!” I for one, will never again doubt the fact that this great earth of ours was created by none other then the great one - the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I have already ordered Pirate Fish decals for my cars, and I will make it my charge to take the Great One’s teachings to the unenlightened. I will also support the various Caribbean missionaries efforts to reestablish pirates in their native lands - as we all know that the pirates’ demise is the real cause of the sad state of our environment.

So Jon says to me just now, “If biblical creation is to believed, then why are we bothering sending NASA into space to look for other life forms?” Kind of makes one think that the Republican / Christian Coalition message is a mixed one…

Following the recent theme of hypocrisy I came across this article. It seems that the extortionists over at the Santa Cruz Operation want to have their cake and eat it too.

I don't profess to agreeing with the Republican led recall effort that is going on in California, but if you are one that agrees that they have a point then you must surely agree with this recall effort too.

After all, the same issues are at stake: The economy (California, and the nation's) are in a shambles; the budget's have both gone from sizable surpluses to major deficits; and the leaders, in both cases, have not always told the truth. It would be hypocritical to support only one of these recall efforts, wouldn't it?
