In His article Should the United Nations run the Internet? Declan McCullagh makes several fabulous points about the glaring holes in the UN as an organization.
For those of you who are familiar with my disdain for the UN this is just another example of why America must withdraw membership from this organization. Our Children's future freedoms can not afford membership in this organization.
Have yet to find a philosophical somewhere I am content to call home. The closest I get to a creed these days is a quote by John Green. "Whether I believe in God isn’t really relevant. I do believe however tenuously in Mercy" Due to a lot of personal reasons encountered along this journey, I have mostly stepped away from writing for now. Still, sometimes something stirs me and I need space to hash out my thoughts. So welcome to my little space along the journey.

One More Quote From The Time Article
TIME.com: A Test of Kerry's Faith: "Kerry, for his part, is planning to avoid stirring any up. 'I don't tell church officials what to do,' he says, 'and church officials shouldn't tell American politicians what to do in the context of our public life.' "
Kudos to Arch Bishop Burke
Many people do not understand how I can be a libertarian and a conserative Christian. It is not always easy to walk both worlds and I often find myself at odds with friends both in the church and within my libertarian circles.
To really grasp this one must understand that I openlly support Liberty and freedom. I believe that all freedom and liberty in existience are found in the Word of God. I find that it is my goal to always work to bring freedom and liberty to the people I encounter in my life. I want to do my part to bring this both physically, politically, and spiritually.
Which brings us to this article about John Kerry fromTIME.com As a libertarian I should support Kerry's stand against the church in a political forum sighting the liberty and freedom of the mother. However the truth is that we must be concerned not only with the freedom and liberty of the mother, but as a Christian, Mr. Kerry and all others should see that we must also be supportive of the freedom of that child. Mr. Kerry needs to heed his 'grave and clear obligation to oppose any law that attacks human life. For them, as for every Catholic, it is impossible to promote such laws or to vote for them.'
I support St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke warning him 'not to present himself for Communion' as long as he continues to care only for his policies and campaign, rather than showing concern for the freedom of these unborn children.

Little Trouble in Big O'Hare
So picking up where I left off yesterday, as I was sitting waiting for the tow truck for my car. The towing company brought the wrong tow truck. After spending nearly an hour trying to hook my car up to the wrong truck, he leaves without it to get another truck. It was mess to try and pay for all the parking, get them taken care of, and then I had to tell the story of how it happened to my boss, who laughed at me, stating it was one of the funniest stories he had ever told. I am just glad, my car is getting fixed, and I can move along.

Bad Time At O'Hare - Great Time In Savannah!
My family and I traveled to Savannah, GA for a show this weekend. It was cheaper for the church to fly us in on Friday evening so we left out after work on Friday to see the beautiful land of the Georgia aristocrats.
Our drive to O'Hare was uneventful until after I had dropped Christi off to go grab the boarding passes, while Ella and I parked the car. I was driving along the I-190 O'Hare loop looking for Economy parking and could not find it. Then at the last second, there it was, I swerved to make the lane change not seeing the cement curb that divided the two lanes. When I did see the curb, I was travelling at 40+ MPH and had no time to try and swerve back out of the turn so I just held on and commited to take the van across the median. BAM!!! was the sound I heard as I landed on the other side, with 2 working tires less than I started the lane change with. I hobbeled at 5 MPH to the parking garage and grabbed the baby to goto the gate.
Upon arriving at the gate, Christi realized I did not have the car seat. DOH!!!! With around 45 minutes till departure, I ran back through security, back to the parking tram, grabbed the car seat, back to tha parking tram again, back through security again, made a quick stop at McDonalds to get us all some supper and arrived back a the gate about 5 minutes before departure. Luckily, the flight was Delta and therefore delayed.
When we arrived in Savannah the church's reservation at the hotel had gotten lost and I though the fiasco that was this weekend was only going to continue. It did not. Saturday morning we got a car, got moved into a nicer hotel, and had a wonderful lunch w/ Glen the Children's minister and his girlfriend Lisa. That afternoon we went to the Atlantic and got to see EB's first experience w/ the beach. We saw Mark Lowry on Saturday night. Great show very funny, do not take a 2 year old with you. Sunday we had a GREAT performance. All in all it was a wonderul weekend. I am so thankful for the oppurtunity to travel this country, playing a mad scientist, and ministering to these kids. It is a splendid blessing.

My Letter To The President
HONORABLE MR. BUSH,
I am OUTRAGED at you and your crony Tom Ridge and your continual assault on the liberty of the American people. We should have elected Al Gore, at least we all expected and abuse of power from a self centered democrat. It is far more unacceptable coming from you the president from the party of “small government. I am flying this weekend with my 2 year old daughter. The airport says I need to bring a birth certificate to PROVE her identity. For all sanity’s sake, what kind of terrorism do you think a 2 year old is going to be performing? This isn’t protecting the liberty of America, this is increasing the power of “Big Brother” government. What’s next? Are we to expect the hiring of Dr. Goebbels to explain why this administration has such disdain for the Bill of Rights.
PLEASE LET US HAVE OUR LIBERTY BACK!

A 2 Year Old Terrorist
Although, my wife and I would have no problem admiting that our daughter can be quite the terror, she is no threat to national security or airport safety. But try telling that to George "Hitler" Bush and Tom "Muller" Ridge in Washington. These sanctions against the American people put in place by this facist regime after 9/11 make it mandatory for me to bring a birth certificate with me to prove the identity of my daughter. This is ridiculus. She is 2 YEARS OLD!!! This is ABUSE OF POWER of the grandest sort. This is an outrage to the principles of liberty these two "terrorist" are claiming to protect.
I will take my daughters birth certificate, and I will mourn this further invasion to the freedom of the American people as I surrender it to the Gestapo officials monitoring our airports. THANK YOU Mr. Ridge for Keeping our "Homeland" or should I say "Duestchland" safe. Heil G.W.

Potty Training 101
Well after a long time in the making, my daughter is officially potty trained. This is a joyous event around our home. Of course we had to send her to her grandmothers to learn it, but hey whatever works. So I am glad to say, come July we will not have 2 in diapers.

Why I Support Home Schooling
I read this article on MSNBC and thought anyone who chooses to send their chidren to the Godless halls of big government communism training farms (pubic schools) shoud realize the future these mind control facilities are heading toward. No matter what your views on these subjects, I support home education because YOU choose the form of education your children get.

An EXPLOSIVE Kid-U
So Let me tell you about Dr. Kaos and Kid-U. Kid-U is the annual summit of children's workers from the website Kidology. I was the "featured" performer. Having an entire room full of children's workers, seemed like a dream come true. All these people, able to bring us into their ministries, here together. WONDERFUL!!! So I wanted to do something a little extra special. I loaded my happiness machine with extra flash powder, so the audience would get a real "BANG" when we got the Jesus part. Well they did get a bang. In fact it was such a bang, I actually blew my happiness to schrapnel. It was a shattered mess. I continued the show, without a hitch. But WHOA, was that ever freaky. I will never use extra flash powder again.
I am waiting on the video, when I get it I will post it.

Worms Are For Suckers
Wisdom from Larry Seltzer over at E-Week.
Worms Are For Suckers: "BE VERY SKEPTICAL OF ANY ATTACHMENT IN E-MAIL. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't trust any attachment at all, but unless you know the sender and were expecting the file, you should scrutinize it and not open it unless you can determine that it's legitimate.
Keep your antivirus software and firewall up to date. They aren't perfect, but they help a lot.
If your mail client can block all executables, let it. Most worms, including NetSky, will be blocked just by this. If not, find some other way to do it. It's just not worth being able to mail executables around. Incidentally, both Outlook and Outlook Express have done this for years, and therefore their users have been immune to these worms. "

Annual Report to the Enemies
It is pleasant to know that for yet another year our nation has sent a detailed list of our national defenses to the U.N. Conventional Arms Register so that we can be in proper compliance with all UN member nation provisions.
This reminds me of a story from Church History. It takes place on Christmas day, 800 AD. Pope Leo III wanted to demonstrate his authority as the Vicar of Christendom so he called Charles I the King of the Franks to Rome. In an act that was unexpected by even Charles himself, the Pope crowned him "emperor of the Romans" The tradition of the Papal crowning of powerful kings continued until the 17th century when shortly after the reign of Charles VI, the peace of Westphalia ended the process.
In the 16th century, Charles V spent a great deal of thought and composition on the subject of Authority. Until that point there was little discussion as to the position of authority held by the pope if he did the crowning. Charles understood that if the king had to receive the blessing of the pope, and report his monarchial rulings to the pope, this meant he was under the authority of the pope.
I feel as if all of my readers are intelligent, logical enough people to see my parallel here. If we want to protect the sovereign soil of this nation we must remain sovereign from ALL external authorities. We should encourage our national authorities to excuse ourselves from the U.N. and from all their "crowning" decrees and filings.

Nasa's Space Pen
I recieved the following e-mail this morning from a friend at the office.
"When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.
The Russians used a pencil.
Enjoy paying your taxes ? ............. They're due again!
Now I assumed the story was a myth, and according to Snopes the rumor is False but it sure makes a great ancedote from 2 perspectives.
1. Never develop new technology when old technology is all that is neccessary.
2. The government has a tendency to overspend.

Sen. Clinton Sounding Very Republican
Senator Clinton is taking pointers from the darkside. Newsmax Magazine reported that last night on Lou Dobbs' Exporting America Expose, Senator Clinton said she was passionate about tax rebates for companies that keep American jobs in America.
The article quoted Mrs. Clinton as saying “We need to look at our tax code and be honest about what it does produce, the consequences of the actions that we're taking.” That is the most truthful, least liberal comment I have ever heard the Senator make.
She is right, American tax code, which currently punishes U.S. companies by granting tarriff relief to nations that are our political enemies. We need to abolish the "income" format of taxation and return to a tax system that is based solely on Tarriffs and Luxury items.
I only hope Senator Clinton TRULY has the conviction to take her comment to Mr. Dobbs that far.
Lou Dobbs also posted his Exporting America checklist for determing which companies are working to exploit the lienent tarriff laws, and employment laws of foreign nations.

RecallVeriSign.com
I encourgae veryone to participate in the petion at RecallVeriSign.com. This petition is to ask the ICANN to remove Verisign's charter as the registrar over the .com and .net TLD. From my personal experience I have seen this company abuse this position in 2 ways. This company has abused this position by sending out letters for Domain renewals that were clearly registered through one of their licsencees. Even more important, and more intrusive than that, is their recent addition of the "Site Finder" service, which redirects mistyped names to their own advertising pages. This is an abuse of the entire Internet DNS system.
When Verisign claim's in Press Releases that they are not hijacking the DNS system through their usage of wild cards, that is a blatant lie, meant to look good in the press, with no foundation at all within those who understand the principles of DNS.
Do your part to support the future of a free internet! Sign the peition to revoke Verisgn's charter.

My Email to the President and Congress
I thought I would include the text of my letter to my congressional representatives and the president. I hope you will send one too.
Honorable,
This newest deployment of U.S. troops to Haiti is an unacceptable prostitution of United States Armed Forces. This commander and chief wants to profane the commitment of our young men and women who enlisted to defend the citizens and soil of this nation, by using them to enforce a system of police states around the world. Our presence in Iraq is questionable, our presence in Afghanistan seems ineffectual, but this deployment is down right deplorable. There is no conceivable means to justify this as a protective action to the citizens or sovereign soil of the United States. Please remember the wisdom given to us by President George Washington in 1796, “The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.” The actions of this President disgrace the memory and heritage of our national father’s great warning.
I support our Armed Forces. I celebrate our soldiers. However at this time I a charged by moral responsibility to decry our Commander and Chief.
