Whut It Dew
by matt at 11:34 pm on August 30th, 2005 in GeneralTime for a few days off for time with friends and family. Nothing new here until Tuesday when we’ll be back in full force on new servers that should be able to better able to handle the traffic. In our absence, do yourself a favor and check out some of the links to the right, in particular:
Kyle / Dean / John / Tony / Spencer / Matt Tobey / Ian / Jane
We’ll leave you with this charming tale that Jason predicted on Sunday and I nailed the “number of hours ’til fruition” over/under:
So when Hurricane Katrina hit land yesterday, we knew it was only a matter of time before we’d be hearing from the lunatic fringe again. And now, here it is. In an email message we just received, a group calling itself Columbia Christians for Life alerts us to the fact that a satellite image of Hurricane Katrina as it hit the Gulf Coast Monday looks just like a six-week old fetus.
“The image of the hurricane . . . with its eye already ashore at 12:32 p.m. Monday, August 29, looks like a fetus (unborn human baby) facing to the left (west) in the womb, in the early weeks of gestation (approx. 6 weeks),” the email message says. “Even the orange color of the image is reminiscent of a commonly used pro-life picture of early prenatal development.”
And in case you’re not getting the point, the email message spells it out in black and white: “Louisiana has 10 child-murder-by-abortion centers,” the groups says, and “five are in New Orleans.”
Kidding aside, help if you can.

And who knew that she had a chocolate chip as an eye? Someone should tell the theologists.
Mmmmm…..chocolate.

you know, I have looked all over the place to find the source of this information and in every instance blogs have said they have recived an e-mail. If Columbia Christians for Life put this out you would have figured that they, or one of there following nut groups would have posted it. But I can find nothing. Are you sure this is from them?

Well, luckily Salon has higher standards than us lowly bloggers. And it’s not uncommon for groups like this to do business via email and phone calls so there is less of a record to trace.
And yes, medical care is a priority for them.
