Atheist Church Debut Episode

Here it is, lots of room for improvement but you gotta start somewhere...

Miracle on The Hudson (river, not Kate)

155 All Survived!!!

Wow, the big news, plane crashes on the Hudson River and everyone lives. Awesome.
Almost too good to be true.

I can't help but wonder if they faked it to have some good news to report. "Shit, middle east still a mess, economy screwed, idiot still in office, I know, lets land a fuckin' plane in New York City! Fill it with stunt folks, have the rescue crews ready, it'll be Awesome!"

I don't care, real or fake, I'll take it. Good news, and now America can feel happy, tomorrow's stock market will soar, we'll all be great, until the terrifying realization hits that a BIRD CAN TAKE DOWN A JET! Shit. That aint so good.

I hope there was at least one Arab on the plane so he can give a big told you so to any would be heroes. "I Told You I Had Nothing To Do With It! Punk!... I wasn't planning on making my move until we hit cruising altitude! KIDDING, KIDDING, Relax you John Wayne Asshole!"

The heroic pilot just happens to own a safety consulting firm. Once the inspections are done to make sure HE didn't engineer the whole thing, I imagine their stock prices will be going UP!

Last weeks big news was Twitter getting hacked. All the celebrity Twitter accounts were being used to send spam, just boring old spam, except one CNN newscaster whose "followers" got the message, "I'm high on Crack. I won't be in to work today." I just hope that some CNN newscaster is sitting somewhere saying, "YES! Did I pick the right day to get high and tweet or what!?!"

Some random thoughts:
It would suck to have a lisp and live in Mississippi. "Where you from?" "Tttthhhhhhhhh-pi."
It sucks that if you have a lisp you can't say lisp.
That word ought to be lith. "I have a lith, thank you very much." "Really? I hadn't noticed." It'th thuttle."

It sucks that the word dyslexia would be very hard for anyone suffering that affliction to read.
Dyslexia should be named with a palindrome.

I just got back from performing, this was what was on my mind. :P

KLJ - Cam Whore!

Yeah, Bryna and I got us a web cam. Mostly so that we could keep in touch with family members who are little and get bigger between visits. Its really nice to be able to see the little rugrats especially since most of 'em freeze on the phone like it's headlights and they're deer, the dear deer. Here is my friend Robert's response to me having a webcam:

And here is my first "Quick Capture" youtube video:

The Atheist Survival Guide! Finished?

Well sort of. I'm done writing it.
It is with The Editor being edited. Ben Walker is working on the cover art and possibly some illustrations for inside the book as well.
I will put up a link soon to advance order the book. I want to be shipping the book in late January.
Yay!

I plan to self publish but I am interested in entertaining offers if anyone is interested in publishing. And if some atheist loving patron decided to help finance the printing that would be fantastic.

Thank you for all the enthusiasm surrounding this project and for your patience as I worked on it.
