Mike's Blog Roundup

Hey everyone, I'm Bill Wolfrum from Williamkwolfrum.com, Shakesville.com, and WorldGolf.com, and other assorted sites. You might also remember me from such classic TV shows as "B.J. and the Bill Wolfrum" and "Hill Street Bill Wolfrum" or the improv show "Whose Bill Wolfrum is it, anyway?" Now, let's link.

Man in the Middle: Remember the Kuhns, who were hassled and arrested for displaying the U.S. flag upside down with protest signs on it in Asheville, N.C.? Well, turns out all charges were dropped. Pesky First Amendment got in the way, it seems.

Glenn Greenwald: Remember, a vast majority of the extreme right wing seriously believes that Muslims are coming to the U.S. to

overthrow the nation and enslave us all. And everything they do and say revolves around that irrational fear.

Memoirs of a Skepchick: The Secular Student Alliance could use a little love.

Incertus: Happy birthday, Jocelyn Elders.

Scott Horton: God help us.

Will that be before or after the "Rapture"?

If the Rapture happens first, there will be no need for the Muslims to come and take over our country. The good Christians will be gone and the Muslims could give a shit about the rest of us heathens. Or maybe I just read that somewhere.

Not sure about the rapture; pretty sure about the rupture.

Ah, but no Sheriff Bill Wolfrum I guess. . .

Thanks for posting links with explanations that I can understand!

Thanks for the link, Bill. And thanks to everyone who drops by today--stick around and enjoy the site.

It is a sad state of affairs when a sheriff's deputy goes berserk because a couple had the temerity to fly the American flag upside down, which also happens to be the international distress signal calling for help. Help is what this country needs when superpatriots end up in positions of authority where they can terrorize citizens who dare to exercise their constitutional rights. That sheriff's deputy needs to become acquainted with a document called the U.S. Constitution and in particular the Bill of Rights which, despite the attempts of the Bush administration, and though it may be torn and tattered, is still in effect.

Well, I'll be danged... the flag outside our house has been hanging upside down for months. This nation has been in distressed ever since the SCOTUS appointed a president back in 2000.

Just 524 more days until our nation is free of these neocon nazis.

It will be before the Rapture and they will be arriving in row boats. So be very afraid.

Bah, the First Amendment is quaint, like the Geneva Conventions! It won't matter when the Rapture comes! ;-)

As an atheist I can't wait for the Rapture to come so all these people will find out there really isn't a god afterall.

Yeah I remember the Kuhns because I did a post about them last week that Skippy linked on this very same blog. And you know what? I included the part about the charges being dropped too. Way to pay attention.

Bill, thanks for the link. Small update on the First Amendment story. The Deputy is apparently off the hook.
