I wonder how he sleeps at night. I really do. This poor guy -- fire kills his three children, then the state accuses him of their murder and executes him. It doesn't get more nightmarish than that. Here's the original New Yorker story on this, if you can stomach the horror.
Everyone who knows Republican-voting folks in Texas, needs to make sure they know this story. Guv Goodhair is worse than even GWB - He leads the movement toward transforming the state into The Christianist Republic of Tejasistan.

Oct. 13th, 2009 03:57 pmThe Stupid!!! It burns!!!!I'm just going to quote without comment:
About the file: the text message file encrypted with a symmetric key combine 3 modes1st changing the original text with random (white noise) and PHR (Pure Human Randomness) shuffle command , move and replace instruction combine with the key from mode 1 (white noise) and 2 (PHR)

this is a none mathematical with zero use of calculation algorithm - so no brute force , Rainbow Crack , or gpu cuda nvidia brute force crack can be applied on this technology . Sorry you have to find a new way to crack chaos theory for that.We use 0% of any mathematical calculation algorithm so we can perform any ware with unparalleled strength
Key Strength - 1million bit or more
Speed performance 400% faster Compeer to AES
MPU use - Mathematical Process Unit in CPU use 3% - 7% only
Overhead of the file from original 5% +/- (original+5%) +/-
A combination of mode 1 and 2 applied with a new variation of XOR - to perform the encrypted messageAnyone have any ideas?
A few weeks back we introduced you to John Marcotte, a writer who runs the site BadMouth.net, and is collecting signatures to get the "California Protection of Marriage Act" on the ballot. If passed this initiative would make divorce illegal in California.
John doesn't really want to ban divorce--he's making a point about gay rights, specifically that if you want to argue that gay marriage is bad for traditional marriage, you'll have to agree divorce is worse for it. His group at RescueMarriage.Org recently made the following PSA which argues that "Children of single-parent homes are repulsive and unlovable," and that "Hell is eternal, just like your marriage is supposed to be."
Dallas-Fort Worth: Looking for a Dog?
Oct. 13th, 2009 05:34 pmA German Shepherd rescue group called Camp Wolfgang , in Ennis, Texas is closing down because of family issues on 31 October. I don’t have any additional details, other than they are closing their doors.
All the dogs are vetted, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, well cared-for and many have had training.
They have nearly 200 dogs that must find a foster or be adopted before 31 October or they will have no choice but to euthanize them all. I am shocked by this and I hope you are too.
If you cannot help by fostering or adopting...YOU CAN STILL HELP!!!
Please forward this information to everyone you know...if we all forward this to everyone we know, chances are good that many of these dogs can be saved!
They do not need or want donations, they simply MUST place all of the dogs.
Adoption fees are $75.00, free to verifiable rescue groups.
Current dogs: (approximate)
120 German Shepherds
2 Akitas
1 Anatolian/Great Pyrenees
4 Purebred Rottweiler
1 Great Dane/Lab
1 Boxer/Mastiff
1 St. Bernard/Akita
1 WolfDog
45 Other mixed breeds
Time is of the essence!!
If you know anyone who can adopt, accept a dog into their rescue, or help in any way, contact Neisha Livengood, Kennel Master at Camp Wolfgang .
( Contact Info )
Thanks to everyone for anything you may be able to do to help these dogs.
Talk about transparency!
Such as instructions on how to operate the Web site.
In checking to see who was in the New York State section of the site, (in addition to the other gaffes people have noted) we noticed three members. One was the “rnc-admin.”
Curious, we clicked. And there, we found, and downloaded, the “ForumsAdministrationDocumentation,” the “ForumsUserGuide,” and the “Admin_Guide,” among other things.
Oh, and Chairman Steele? You might want to have someone change that gmail account log-in and password.

Oct. 13th, 2009 07:33 pmFrom The Onion:
If God Had Wanted Me To Be Accepting Of Gays, He Would Have Given Me The Warmth And Compassion To Do So
I don't question God. The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall put none above Him. Which is why I know that if it were part of God's plan for me to stop viciously condemning others based solely on their sexual preference, He would have seen fit—in His infinite wisdom and all—to have given me the tiniest bit of human empathy necessary to do so.
It's a simple matter of logic, really. God made me who I am, and who I am is a cold, anti-gay zealot. Thus, I abhor gay people because God made me that way. Why is that so hard to understand?
Here, let's start with the basic facts: I hate and fear gay people. The way they feel is different from how I feel, and that causes me a lot of confusion and anger. Everyone knows God is all-powerful. He could easily have given me the capacity to investigate what's behind those feelings rather than tell strangers in the park they're going to hell for holding hands. But God clearly has another path for me. And who am I to question His divine will?
Compassion, tolerance, understanding, basic decency, the ability to put myself in another person's position: God could have endowed me with any of those traits and yet—here is the crucial part—He didn't. Why? Because the Creator of the Universe wants me to demonize homosexuals in an effort to strip them of their fundamental human rights.
I'm sorry, but you can't possibly ask me to explain everything God does. He works in mysterious ways, remember?
Try to understand. If I were capable of thinking and acting any other way, then I'm sure I would, but God seems to be quite adamant about this one. He's just not budging at all. So unless our almighty Lord and Savior decides to change His mind about my ability to empathize on even the most basic level—which I find highly unlikely—then everyone is just going to have to accept the fact that I'm going to keep on hating homosexuals. And I know that He will fill me with the strength to remain mindless and hurtful in the face of adversity.
Which isn't to say that my faith hasn't been tested. Believe me, there have been times when I've drifted from the bitter and terrified life God has chosen for me. When my younger brother told me he was gay, it shook my faith to its very core. But here I am, 27 years later, still refusing to take his calls. Just the way God intended.
It's actually pretty astonishing how many complaints to the school board you can make regarding the new band teacher you've never met when you are filled with the Light of Christ and devoid of any real kindness or mercy toward His other children.
At the end of the day, I'm just trying to lead a good Christian life. That means going to church on Sunday, following the Ten Commandments, and fighting what I believe to be a sexual abomination through a series of petty actions and bitter comments made under my breath. Sure, I sometimes wish God would just reach into my heart and give me the ability to treat all people with, at the very least, the decency and respect they deserve as human beings. But unfortunately for that new couple who moved in three houses down, He hasn't yet.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have God's work to do.
Satire or not, it's so-o-o-o close to what GLBT folk experience in the South.
