Yep, everyone knows by now about the Lisa Davis fiasco.
And everyone knows about the ongoing Ken Ham fiasco.
I have pretty much let the Lisa Davis thing slide, except for maybe saying in the privacy of my own home a few choice words on her actions. Then I was driving home yesterday and it all changed. There is a motel in town that routinely posts ignorant x-ian nonsense on its sign out front, I had just picked up some pizza and was on the way back home when I saw the sign.
“Pray For Lisa Davis”
“In Jail”
“For Christ”
I darn near blew a gasket. To what lengths will x-ians go to to spread their damn lies? Lisa Davis is in jail for being a goddamned dumbass who directly violated a new law laid down by the Supreme Court, and by a local judge who found her in contempt. She is in jail for being an idiot, not for being a x-ian. How people can confuse the circumstances and turn the facts into some martydom complex to suit their purposes is beyond me. But we see that kind of crap a lot. I should be to the point now where I might expect to see this kind of thing. But it sure caught me off guard yesterday.
Nuttin much to say on Ken Ham lately, but he is pretty reliable as a source of disgust/entertainment. I am sure he won’t keep us waiting for long.
While I am at the keyboard I may as well report on a phenomenon I have been witness to. Ever since the shooting in Charleston, and the subsequent confederate flag freak show, there have been a great deal of good ole southern rednecks flying confederate flags all over the place. I mean running up and down the roads with two large confederate flags flying in the back of their pickup trucks. Confederate flags in the windows, serving as curtains. Confederate flags hung from trees in the yard. You get the idea. It seems to me the only tangible result of all this is someone is making a killing selling flags.
I have never seen the confederate flag as a symbol of hate. I suppose there are many who would use it as such. But I have only really seen it as a historical reference, and a good identifier of a true “good ole southern redneck.” As far as it being symbloic of hate, I understand the history, but that doesn’t quite add up as a symbol of hate to me. Until someone actually uses it as one. Then it becomes symbolic of hate as demonstrated by the act. We can say the same thing for many flags. Do we ban them all?
I’d be interested in your take on the subject. Pick one, two, or go for broke.
Evidence Based Reality 
Don’t know about flags, but we should ban Ken Ham and idjits like Lisa Davis. Hell, let’s ban x-tians all together. We can send the bastards to Antarctica, give em their own flag, some coffee for the trip, and a boot to the ass as they go out the door. Annoying mother fuckers x-tians are. Though, without Ken Ham, I’d be at a huge loss for comedic material. Somehow, though, I think, should he be sent to Antarctica, I’d be OK without ’em.

There ya go! Put em both on Hambone’s ark and let them sail to Antarctica.
Yes, we would all suffer a great loss without Ham lol. I think the betterment of the people supercedes the availability of comedic material for the likes of us. 😉
They damn sure better take 2 (or is it 7?) pairs of all known critters with them. And all of the neccessaries to feed/water them. They will stay busy shoveling shit right up till that enormous wooden boat, that cannot withstand moderate seas, goes down. What a great story though!

Idiocy is criminal. She can be a christian all she wants, but an idiot no, that isn’t acceptable.
