Drinking the Kool-Aid™

Posted on by Eric Brooks

For those that don’t quite get the reference (but are afraid to ask), it’s basically the new catch phrase being tossed around on all sides of the political spectrum.

It’s in reference to the 1978 mass suicides in Jonestown, Guyana by the cult of Reverend Jim Jones. They believed his every word, they slaughtered a Congressman and his entourage, and they drank cyanide-laced kool-aid… because Rev. Jim said so.

Whatta RUSH™ flavored... mmmm!To make this new phrase easier for Americans to understand, Kool-Aid™ has a new line of flavors…

So when you’re a lefty buying in to all of the silly 9/11 conspiracy theories because no one in the White House is talking… you’re “drinking the Kool-Aid™“

If you’re a winger following this administration without question because at least no one is getting nookie in the Oval Office and lying under oath about it… you’re “drinking the Kool-Aid™“

Me? I drink Coca Cola exclusively.
How about you?

Getting the job done…

State Representative Kelly Lewis’ campaign site.

KellyLewis.ComIf all you see is a graphic that says “Launching March 1st”… well, that aint it (and don’t ask!). The new site is currently in propagation and you’ll see it in the next day or two. There will be tons of stuff added in the next few weeks, some PHP magic and my pushing some scripts FAR beyond the limits it was originally designed for.

We all worked together on The Reasons for Christmas Project, which helped raise money for an organization that helps homeless families get back on their feet.

I’m pleased and honored to be a part of the team again.

He’s a good man, good for this county… and he really does “Get the job done”.

(Well in all fairness, with a lot of help FROM his staff too. With all of the issues they have to deal with in this screwed-up ‘burg… It’s easy to spot me and his right-hand man, Jon, at the local diner… we’re the “really tired-looking guys” ready to zonk out INTO our lunches. zzzzzz *THUD*) :0)

Fun with the liberal media vol1

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Anyone in the Pennsylvania area that has Blue Ridge Cable saw something interesting on the news tonight.

Are you gonna believe the media, or are you gonna believe me?
Good!

My friends work maintenance at Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts.  A lot has changed since the glorious summer opening featuring Tom Ridge and the Philharmonic. I’m not too terribly comfortable talking about it, I’ve discussed it in my newsletter over the summer…

… but well, let’s just say “The Fat Lady is about to sing” over there, ok?

So Blue Ridge’s news crew was there (and denied access), my friends are moving computers, spot the cameras and their high-powered microphones, and One says out loud: “Do you want to bring these computers were stealing to your house or mine?”

Of course it’s been aired in its entirety. Sound and all. (*SNORT*)
Our phones have been ringing off the hook all day.
No charges have been filed on the two burglars yet. :0)

It’s all pretty sad, but I’m not ready to declare Mt. Laurel officially dead just yet.
Millions in grants and taxpayer dollars have been poured INTO it, and obviously it was run by incompetent morons.

Rather than pull for local support, they gambled on the New York, New Jersey, Philly crowd to pay New York prices to go to a place in the middle of nowhere.

Ask Lambchop what it was like trying to find my house last Spring. Mt. Laurel is the complex just before that, down the road. Tell me, ANYONE unfamiliar with the area will ever find the place? Duh.

Bill Watson offers a hilarious overview of “Mt. Laurel Center for Old Farts” in the latest EPCN. It offers a lot of of helpful ideas for Season two… and I hope SOMEONE is listening.

…I’m talking about those who aren’t going to jail, of course.

Catching up…

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Jeez…
February was just too short. I still have so much I want to do on this site.

I’m just getting around to catching up on a few sites. I have some really great news, but I’m not ready to share it. (No we’re NOT HAVING another baby! What the hell are YOU smoking???).

So instead, I’ll just point you elsewhere:

  • Jet has a really good and thought-provoking post about The Passion of the Christ. (I’ll be working something up eventually. It would help if I see it too. Ya think?)
  • Tina is asking for you to send some prayers in her general direction. She’ll redirect it FROM there.
  • Wouldn’t hurt to send some prayers and good vibes over to Suzette, as her mom isn’t doing very well.
  • For the designer geek in you, Zeldman (and A List Apart) announces “Drop Shadows in CSS”… sweet!
  • For more geeky 3D fun, I found the ParaMatrix 3D Menu program in my referrers.
  • The Best (and Worst) of April Fool’s Day – Just released at Urban Legends….Since it’s the only OFFICIAL holiday this site recognizes, I figure I should give you guys a month to get some ideas… (“In 1998, Burger King Released ‘Left Handed Whoppers’…”) hahahaha!!!

    • More later…
