Crockumentary

There's a new book that exposes the lies in Michael Moore's documentaries, called, appropriately enough, Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, written by David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke. It is promoted as "Loaded with well-researched, solidly reasoned arguments, and laced with irreverent wit..."



You can get a copy here: Book: Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man for $22.95.

St. Pete Times

The St. Petersburg Times yesterday published a fascinating article about the expansion of the Church of Scientology in Clearwater, Florida.  Someone actually bothered to research the facts behind the articles instead of simply drawing on the stockpile of tired lies passed around by the Times newspaper chain, in which the St. Pete Times usually deals.  So it was with some surprise I read some real facts in this article:  Scientology in Clearwater.

Nice pictures of the new building in Clearwater, and some interviews of people I know that actually sound like them and don't appear to be taken out of context. 
 
Good fairly accurate news from the St. Pete Times.  Amazing, and how refreshing! 
 
 
 
 

Quran

The Quran, like the Bible, contains many prophecies and predictions.  This quote from the Quran making the rounds by email is interesting:

Quran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia  would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle  would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,  while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

The verse number seems fitting, too.
