Myths and Truths about Atheism
I haven’t read the whole article, but from what I did, I like it.
Bunnies Don’t Like Wind
I wanted to write this post yesterday, but never had the chance. I really don’t have time right now either, but I’m doing it anyway.
The wind yesterday was out of control. It was fun to drive though, with it pushing my car back and forth. I was glad that I wasn’t in my old Miata though. We saw a sign flying down the street in the morning, and when we got to Costco for gas, a barrel was rolling through the parking lot. Didn’t see any cows though.
It’s not windy anymore, thank gawd. It is still cold and crap. Oh, and I got another cold. Seems pretty mild though, hopefully it won’t get any worse =)
Tonight is the Hepcat show and my friend John said he’d go with me. I really wanted to see the opening band too, but now I don’t really care too much about that.
Catherine just brought me a bagel with cream cheese. Mmmmmm.

Happy Holidays
James Brown died on xmas 
sad. We had the same bday. I read today that his common law wife is being kicked out of their house because it’s going to his kids. Hopefully he left her and their kid some money so she can find somewhere else to live. Such a terrible thing to be going through over the holidays.

Christmas was alright, no complaints. I am at work right now though, and that isn’t much fun. And I am trying to wake up, but that isn’t working either. When I got here today I was temporarily locked out of the building. I forgot the coffee place is closed this week, and they are the ones who usually open the big door. Thankfully my dead cell phone came to life for a minute so I called the landlord who was just down the street to let me in. Although, not working would have probably been better. 
Two investigators are in the field today, so I guess there is a reason for me to be here. Sigh.
How was your xmas?
XMas Stuff to Watch
This link has a ton of good stuff on it.
1-800-SUICIDE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
With only a few days left before X-Mas, hours left in Michael Leavitt’s term as Secretary of Health & Human Services and minutes left in Eric Broderick’s term as head of SAMHSA – the Federal Government is working overtime to steal 1-800-SUICIDE instead of simply giving this non-profit the over $300,000 of already appropriated and earmarked funds that are still owed.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
- Contact the Federal Government and ask them to pay the funds they promised 1-800-SUICIDE. Your calls have and will help! www.save1800suicide.org
/lettertofeds - TELL THE FCC TO DENY SAMHSA & HHS ATTEMPT TO PULL 1-800-SUICIDE! www.save1800suicide.org
/lettertofcc
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Agency (SAMHSA), a division of Health & Human Services (HHS), quietly filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 13th, 2006 to pull the private lines held by KBHC/1-800-SUICIDE.
This underhanded grab at these lines is taking place after two years of private communication and months of public debate ending with a commitment from SAMHSA to review and pay 1-800 SUICIDE’s claim on August 25th, 2006.
Help us by commenting to the FCC to not allow HHS/SAMHSA to change the laws in order to hostilely take over our phone lines!
Write the FCC:
9300 East Hampton Drive, Capitol Heights, MD 20743
Refer to Case Docet 95-155
Or comment online by following these steps:
- Login into http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod
/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi - Type case number 95-155
- Fill in all the necessary information
- Send in comment
- Comment can be brief (see bottom of form)
Here is a sample letter:
I am writing in support of KBHC/1-800-SUICIDE and encourage the FCC to not simply transfer the lines at a request of another government agency. Please recognize that HHS/SAMHSA have been working at trying to suffocate 1-800-SUICIDE because they created a competing hotline.
Why does the government want private confidential caller information? Please protect the callers identity and realize that HHS/SAMHSA have not paid KBHC money that Congress appropriated for no real reason. Instead they are going to the FCC to try and get a rule changed to hostilely take the lines over anyway.
Do not let that private phone companies like Patriot and McLeod work with HHS/SAMHSA to break the rules and work against this nonprofit and the public good!
