Go Ahead And Toot That Horn

October 26, 2006

For once, I’m not tooting my own horn but allowing others to do it for me.  Really, it gets so wearying to be constantly telling everyone what a great guy I am.  What a breath of fresh air to have others do so for me.
I got a nice write up from one of the other blogs [...]

Just Whose Space Is My Space?

Enjoy…and let me [...]

Battlefield: London

October 24, 2006

Well, Scientology’s opened themselves up some fancy new digs in London and the press is all agog.  Here’s a report from London.net:

A New Word in Literacy - Fraud

October 22, 2006

The Boston Globe has an article about the Scientology literacy program in their city. They set up space near the Boston Org in a building they share with Scientology’s front group for attacking psychiatry, the Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights.
“My goal is to infuse the community with tools they can use,” said Robert [...]

Scientology On Trial

October 18, 2006

At least on TV.
Last night, “Boston Legal” dealt with a Scientologist suing his former employer after being fired because of his religion. It’s an interesting time for Scientology. They have been battered by the media so hard this past year that some are now coming to their defense.
First “Nip/Tuck” develops an entire [...]

People are Spreading “The Bridge”

October 15, 2006

As predicted, the official removal of “The Bridge” from the net is in vain.  People are spreading it far and wide.
The internet is Scientology’s worst nightmare.

Why Wog?

October 14, 2006

I saw this in the feedback and thought it was worth discussing:
Did you know that the word ‘wog’ in Great Britain is an unacceptable racial slur, much favoured by racist stand-up comics of the 1970s? It’s clear that the word/acronym in this case has a vastly different meaning, and that this site has nothing to [...]
