Imbolc

Imbolc is a holiday celebrated by Druids and Wiccans. It is celebrated as St. Brigid’s Day in Christianity. Some celebrate it as the beginning of spring, on February 1. For others it celebrates the middle of winter. Brigid was originally a pagan god. A major symbol of the holiday is to light a candle and dusk until dawn.
Here is an Imbolc traditional poem:

Thig an nathair as an toll
Là donn Brìde,
Ged robh trì troighean dhen t-sneachd
Air leac an làir.

"The serpent will come from the hole
On the brown Day of Bride,
Though there should be three feet of snow
On the flat surface of the ground."

US coins and Native Americans--did they finally get it right?

The US just doesn’t do enough to include Native American culture. We have the Crazy Horse Memorial. We now have coins with Indians on them. We started with the Sacagawea dollar. Now they have a new coin minted to honour the role of the Native Americans. We have had Indians on our coins before, but Sacagawea has an actual name. The Indian head nickel and half and quarter eagles seemed to have an Indian on them, but they were not famous individuals.

Mexican coins have had the face of Cuauhtemocs on it. However it is only recently that the US mint took Native Americans seriously. In times passed they put an Indian bonnet on a liberty face as in the 1cent piece and the Gold Eagle $10. សតិវ អតុ

For my birthday-- A new calendar


I’ve invented a new calendar. It is really just the same calendar we all use today except I use the year Great Leader or GL 56. That’s because my birthday is this weekend, so to sell-a-brate I’m selling a new calendar. I got the idea from Democratic People’s Republic of (North) Korea. They have their own calendar based on the life of Kim Il Sung. The year there is January 11. 2011 Juche 100. So in my calendar the year would be Jan. 11, 2011 GL 56. Each page will have my great accomplishments, such as the time I single-handedly lead a group of students to take over WSU to protest the Vietnam War when I was only 13. Yes I’ve re-written history a little to improve my historical role as a great person. Order now, only $15. It’s $1,000 if you can afford more and 2 ¢ if you’re broke. Order today.


Here I am explaining evolution of conservative people to my little brother when I was just a kid.
 People all over the world will sell-abrate my birthday.

The recent shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the culture of terror

The recent shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords believed to be carried out by Jared Lee Loughner. Here is a video believed to be by him and here is the information on his video site. Once again, a US whack job seems to go crazy with a gun. This is the culture of terrorism in the US today.

Jan. 2011 is here

It is now 1-1-11 or 1-1-2011. I had a shitty New Year's Eve. Wife got sick, no tea, very little liquor...all I did was light fireworks. I Chickened out from going to the only party I got invited to. The highlights of my night were lighting off a few firecrackers. Weeeee!
Today I watched "Leave it to Beaver" because sport shows are all that is on TV. I don't like sports or infomercials.
The new year is getting off to a GREAT start.
This may suck today...but in 1968 it was the top song of the year. We've had better since that year, but not this year.
If you really partied New Years you may identify with this:
