More Christian Patriot Propaganda

Occasionally my sister e-mails me some absurd crap that gets sent to her in the form of the electronic chain letter. These e-mails are made up of old wives tales, photoshop hoaxes, urban legends and conspiracy phenomena. Some of the stuff she sends me is really interesting, but the ones she sends me that I dislike the most look like they had their start from a patriot movement subculture that emphasizes elements such as: The loss of blue collar jobs, racism, anti-immigrant, isolationism, conspiracy theory and christian nationalism. Note the very bad composition of these pages - multiple colors, fonts and false links. This is probably how the Bible got started. The icing on this cake is the extremely tacky crying eagle animated pic plastered on to the bottom of the page. These are a few samples of the never ending slew of truly stomach-turning old-fashioned American Huckersterism. Hoax 1 - Alien Bar Codes! Something good to know Want to buy US made products? BUY USA by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get! This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you. The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods". Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan . This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits are: 690-692 … then it is MADE IN CHINA . 00 - 09 … USA & CANADA 30 - 37 … FRANCE 40 - 44 … GERMANY 47 ... Taiwan 49 … JAPAN 50 … UK BUY USA by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hoax 2 - Alien Customer Service Reps! .......will try this method!!, Try to remember this EVERY TIME you have to talk to a customer service representative and you cannot understand them. I did not know that we could do this, but I sure am going to try it. Help bring jobs back to the U.S.A. Ask for an American! ************************************************************ How to save some American jobs and we can help! Hi Everyone, I want to share with you some great information that I found out purely by accident. I believe it can also save and create jobs in America while giving people better customer service. So how many times have you called a companies service phone line and found that the rep. can barely speak English? Once with a major mortgage company it was so bad I demanded to speak with someone who spoke English. Right at that moment I broke the code, the secret password for customer service. Come to find out that every American company using overseas operators must transfer you to an American rep. by saying....... "I want to speak to a representative in America ". (Don't take no for an answer on this) This was confirmed by the American rep. that they must transfer you after that request. I've tried it on a half a dozen major companies including cable, bank, phone and mortgage companies. It works every time and I actually get my issues taken care of. PLEASE FORWARD THIS SO THE EAGLE WILL REMAIN CRYING. THANK YOU! If These haven't spoiled your breakfast, take a few TUMs and checkout this grotesque display of ignorance.

Spinning in His Grave

Billy Mays was unquestionably the most obnoxious person to appear on television. He even beat out the screeching God warrior woman on Wife-Swap.

He was the king of the ultra cheesy annoying sideshow sales shtick.

I don't know how many times I was rocketed out of my chair in a frantic grab for the remote control while flailing wildly to find the MUTE button. He was like a howling torrent that conditioned me to shrink back in horror when ever I happened upon any of the products he assaulted me with from my own television.

I fully expected that this demon from a state fair hawking booth would somehow explode one day and they would find pieces of him all over a padded cell. Instead, it was his heart that apparently exploded.

I hope that they bury this man far away from the other headstones so that he doesn't wake the dead. The rest of us can now live in peace and we have much less to fear from watching our TV sets.

Of course, now there is the problem of the ShamWow guy.

The Big Picture on the Ethics of Abortion

The abortion debate seems to be mired within a very narrow vista concerning human life and survival. From a religious standpoint it is akin to saying that more life is always better. But in reality, this is our undoing.

Most biologists agree that we are in a period of major species extinction. Half of all species on the planet may disappear in the next 100 years if things continue as they are. Whereas past extinctions have been the result of catastrophes, this one seems to be liked to the proliferation of humans on the planet.

Humans are profoundly disturbing ecosystems on a global scale that have developed independently for millions of years and interrupting their delicate cycles essentially halting key aspects of their ability to thrive. The more of us there are, the faster this happens.

Given this perspective on ethics, abortion is vital to the survival of humans as well as most every other species on the planet.

Millenium Ecosystem Assessment

Wisconsin: Home of the weird.

I love Wisconsin.

I love it because it is the most surreal state in the country.

Wisconsin is home to an array of gruesome individuals and circumstances.

Jeffery Dahmer of Milwaukee, performed rape, murder, torture, dismemberment, necrophilia and cannibalism.

Ed Gein of Plainfield performed grave robbing, murder and human taxidermy.

Alan Bushey of Mauston was a cult leader that helped a follower hide a senior citizen's corpse on her toilet to collect social security.

Of course there are our friends the Neumanns from Weston who prayed their diabetic daughter to death.

Quirkiness runs amok in Wisconsin. Roadsideamerica.com has a wealth of very odd attractions that one can experience while driving around the state. The Dells are so popular that it seems the whole state wants to be in on the game by creating anything that will draw in some gawker and their pocket change.

Your own bedroom monolith.

Many have heard of "House on the Rock" near Spring Green - a surreal interpretation of Frank LLoyd Wright's legacy which is strange to be sure, but there is also "Rock in the House" in Fountain City where for $1 you can see an ordinary house that has a huge rock that crashed into the bedroom years ago.





In Sparta, 200 townspeople donated their time to create an attraction. But what's Sparta got that could possibly interest a minivan full of breeders and their sticky faced offspring? An astronaut and a bike trail - that's what. So the "Deke Slayton Memorial Space and Bicycle Museum was born !
You gotta give these folks a green star for their effort. The free boring old county museum is on the main level but 3 bucks gets you in to this paradise of rural desperation for tourist dollars.
Just be sure and tell them on your way out that it was freaking amazing and you will have made another angel in heaven smile.

Make your own Romanian Porn movies in an Historic Motel.

The Usonian Inn is a Frank LLoyd Wright inspired Usonian motel in Spring Green. Hey, architecture isn't everyone's cup of tea, but thank God you can rent this room and have plenty of slightly disturbing non-genital to genital sex on this genuine leather Budapest mini couch just like an eastern block smut pro!
Frank LLoyd would be gasping for breath at the sight of this homage to moderne tastelessness gracing the front of the guestroom #2.

There is much, much more to see in Wisconsin -so plan your next road vacation and head out into the weird frontier. You might even make it back - or not.

PS : Be sure to bring along your own food. The only thing Wisconsin makes that is good to put in your mouth is beer.

Leilanni Neumann Fails To Plead Insanity - Guilty of Homicide.

Leilanni Neumann's trial didn't go the way she expected. She was found guilty yesterday of reckless homicide in the death of her daughter Kara. The verdict of course was no surprise to anyone except her devout family, apparently. After the verdict was read, she is seen praying with her step father who didn't seem to be able to keep his mouth shut in lieu of the gravity of the situation. Her husband Dale is to be tried in July and brash comments by her stepfather Brian Gordon of San Diego, Calif. seemed to galvanize the well understood impression that these folks are obsessed and dangerous. He stood with Neumann's mother, Evalani, and defended the family's reliance on prayer.

When asked about people who see Neumann's behavior as irrational, Gordon said, "It's called the power of God, and if they had a relationship with God they would understand that."

I see, everyone else's faith just doesn't cut the mustard or they must be Atheists.

Later he was reported to have said: "The bottom line is the Constitution reigns supreme and we have the right to worship our God as we see fit," Gordon said. Dale Neumann's attorney, Jay Kronenwetter, appeared visibly upset by the comments.


It may not matter, however, Dale Neumann seems unaware about about not appearing to be irrational. He is seen escorting his wife out of the courtroom still clutching his bible as if it were a leaking life preserver.

Sadly, the Neumanns live in their own fantasy world where the end times are nigh and excessive praying keeps the worry about the ordinary troubles of living at bay that most others seem to deal with effectively one way or another. However, in this respect, shooting heroin might have been a better addiction choice for them.

Psychologically speaking, they are pathologically obsessed with a ritualistic behavioral tick that they rely on for all their stresses. They might have had a more healthy type of OCD - like checking the oven, or cleaning the bathroom. But no, they just had to have a disease that caused them to kill their children. From a legal standpoint, they are guilty of reckless homicide but from psychological perspective, they are profoundly mentally ill.

The Neumanns should not be imprisoned (and it is likely they will not be) but they are desperately in need of therapy and should be prevented from having any contact with children. Perhaps cult deprogramming and or medication for delusional thoughts may be the model to follow in these types of cases, but doubtful there is any standard treatment to cure a patient of religion. Until the science of psychology and the legal system recognize religious zealotry as a mental illness, folks like the Neumanns will continue to go untreated and may go on to harm themselves and others and either get no punishment or get be found guilty with no substantial sentence.

Can't get enough of that ol' time religion

Remember the Neumans? That's the Wisconsin couple I blogged about a couple of years ago when they prayed for their diabetic daughter to recover from diabetic shock - and then prayed again for her to rise from the dead after they let her suffer and die. They were seemingly under remote mind control by David Eells of "Unleavened Bread Ministries" an online ministry web church. that shuns medical doctors.


The Neumans are about to go to trial now and I noticed in this recent photo that Mr. Neuman is holding what looks to be a Bible - a talisman of what essentially got them into trouble in the first place. I doubt that this is helping their case.

They might be wise to switch to a Merk Manual or perhaps a biology text book.

Sunday Morning Reveries

Ah, Sunday morning.

The breeders across the street are all at their places of mind control being re-indoctrinated and we get to sit on the porch with our coffee, breakfast burritos and laptops enjoying the stillness until they all return, freshly reprogrammed to continue their nesting activities as we watch with disgust and horror from across the street.

We are comforted by the thought that while the bulls and cows are busy licking the excrement from their broods behinds, we will be in the hot tub, sipping wine, eating Sushi and having the free will to do as we wish with our bodies.



While Kristine is ingratiating herself with Youtube installments of Charlie's Angels and contrasting the state of feminism from the '70's to today and realizing how far backed the Reagan era has pushed society, I am researching vintage Television programming memes.


In 1977, a special 3 part episode of "Happy Days" was aired that depicted the biker character "Fonzie" jumping over a confined shark while water skiing as a publicity stunt. This television event spurned the catch phrase "jumping the shark" in 1985 which is used to denote when a TV series has started to decline in popularity and quality. Often it marks a profound change in the direction of the program like adding a new child character, the main characters have a baby, preplacing the main character with another actor or consumating a love interest that kept the show alive. In the show M*A*S*H, it was when Corporal Klinger stopped cross dressing for example.

And so it came to pass that when The Brady Bunch TV show "jumped the shark" in 1974 with the introduction of the "Cousin Oliver" character, a new show emerged in 1977 to revive the near obsolete nuclear family in new hip, booty shakin' disco wrapper. All was not well in the planning stage as Eve Plumb who played Jan Brady, refused to do the show. She was substituted by Geri Reischl (often referred to as Fake Jan).


The Brady Bunch Hour was voted the 4th worst TV shows by TV guide. It was a lot like watching your High School pop group perform Disco hits with the help of Las Vegas producers.

This whole scandal has lived on. Geri Reischl has a website and fan base that is based almost entirely on her brief career as Fake Jan on this ill-conceived and short-lived TV show. There is a band called Fake Jan, a Simpsons episode parody of the event and it is a point of debate amongst Brady Bunch cultists.

Interestingly, while Ms. Reischl claims to be the spitting image of Eve Plumb, she actually looked more like my niece Jennifer - who doesn't look like Jan Brady.
