More on ID v evolution in our schools..

Before I post anything, I've got to tell you something you all don't want to hear.

SouthPark is about the most valid source for political commentary.

Ok, now stop bitching. It's true. They successfully outed Tom Cruise while poking fun at Scientology. Hell, they even married his Scientology views to poking fun at the fact that he's gay, but acts like we don't know that. Poor Katie..

Anyhoo....

Charles Kruthammer has a great piece on ID v evolution that really calls out the truth...

The relentless attempt to confuse the two by teaching warmed-over creationism as science can only bring ridicule to religion, gratuitously discrediting a great human endeavor and our deepest source of wisdom precisely about those questions -- arguably, the most important questions in life -- that lie beyond the material.

And in the end, it all leads back to SouthPark - and the Underpants Gnomes.

Oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.

Chimping !

Jody Gomez caught in the act- yes, this is going to be a long war....:)

Mike Metzger, the father of freestyle motocross

Firefighters and motocross guys

I don't shoot many portraits, but Fire Safety Specialist Mike Horton asked me to do the shoot for the advance story for the Spark of Love Toy Drive and sixth annual Dent Event on November 19 in the Guidant parkinglot in Temecula, Ca.

Mike's recruited Mike Metzger, the godfather of freestyle motorcross and Larry Linkogle, the founder, creator and Commander of the Metal Mulisha to perform three times that day. Local celeb's will be on hand and everyone who donates a new unwrapped toy gets a certificate for a free small dent repair on your vehicle.

I never have been so glad to have cast religion out of my life as I am now that Pat Robertson's melting down.

I mean, really, what a jackass. And yet, blunder after blunder, people continue to give this arrogant blowhard a place in the media and follow this witless fool around as if he had a braing.

Let's review..

During a interview with the National Review, Pat Robertson called for the State Department to be nuked..

'If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom, I think that's the answer,'" Robertson said, according to a transcript on the website of his Christian Broadcasting Network.

"I mean, you get through this, and you say [to yourself], 'We've got to blow that thing up.'

Then, the infamous let's kill the leader of another nation

...You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it.

And now...(drumroll please)........

He tells a town that had the audcity to vote in a way they felt best resolved the problem of ID vs scientific theory of creation that they are on their own..

I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God; you just rejected him from your city. And don’t wonder why he hasn’t helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that’s the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there.

And then there is Robertston and his intellectual giant of a buddy Falwell commenting that American got what he it coming on 9/11...

Falwell said, "What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve."
Robertson replied, "Well, Jerry, that's my feeling. I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror, we haven't begun to see what they can do to the major population."
Falwell said, "The ACLU has got to take a lot of blame for this. And I know I'll hear from them for this, but throwing God...successfully with the help of the federal court system...throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad...I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America...I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen."

This guy is classic. I mean, really, when does someone shut this guy up? I mean, if this is the leader of the 700 Club, maybe it's time for it to be the 699 Club.

The Daily Show get's it right, again.

Ok, so anyone who knows me knows how much the issue of being against gay marriage bugs me - I mean, really...who cares. Let Ted and Bob get married. Hell, let Ted and his pet tortise get married. Effects me not a freaking bit. My favorite arguement against gay marriage is the "collapse of society" mantra.

The Daily Show, once again, takes on the collapse of one state since it's bold move to legalize gay marriage. Truly inspired comedy. Being a moderate has it benefits :) Hell, even South Park this week got it more right than the MSM.

Thanks to andrewsullivan.com for the routing to this.

Murrieta Valley v Temecula Valley @ Temecula Valley

I swear to God, Southwestern Conference football never fails to disappoint. Last night was the same as Temecula Valley took on the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks at TVHS.

TVHS *dominated* the entire first half. Truly and without a doubt dominated. But once both teams came back from the half, it was Nighthawks all the way.

Nathan Lamonica, the six foot one, 180 pound senior Nighthawk QB lead the second half save.

Nighthawk senior Travis Erickson see's a hole the size of 15 North and blasts thru the Temecula line, with a little help from his friends.


And then finally, what no photographer want's to get caught on film doing - chimping it. Truth be told, these two guys, David Carlson of the Californian and Frank Bellino of the Press-Enterprise are most likely two of the best shooters in the state, and I owe a ton to both of them. And i'm sure they have me chimping on film someplace as well - hopefully, it will never get published.
