Well That Explains It

via CNN:

The Defense Department will begin blocking access "worldwide" to YouTube, MySpace and 11 other popular Web sites on its computers and networks, according to a memo sent Friday by Gen. B.B. Bell, the U.S. Forces Korea commander.

The policy is being implemented to protect information and reduce drag on the department's networks, according to Bell.

I suppose this is the reason why I don't get to spend my days watching videos and the like at work. It also could be suggested that it's the reason I've blogged more on average in the last week then I have the entire time I've run Planet Houston.

With that in mind, I've noticed a HUGE spike in my traffic over the last few weeks. In the last three weeks I've had something like 3000 visitors, and I want to thank you all. Since BlogPatrol is still down I have no idea where you all are coming from, if there really is that many people taking interest in me. So please, tell me about yourselves, where you found me and what brings you back every day?

Rapture, I hardly know her!

I stumbled across a site today that I just HAD to share with all of my faithful readers. As many of you know I have my own personal problems with the religious right, well religion in general. I'm not an atheist, I am a spiritualist. I believe in the paranormal, specially due to my own experiences and what family I will be marrying in to. I just have a problem with a group of people who has caused more death then Hot Shots: Part Deux. From the Crusades, to the Inquisition, to Dubya's Holy Wars, religion has killed more people then Brandy. Allow me to give you just one small taste from 2007rapture.com:

RELATED 2007 PROPHECIES:

God did not show me why we were going to have food and water shortages. He did not show me why we will not have electricity for a while. He just showed me the problem, not the reason for the problem. However I was watching John Hagee on TV today and he was telling about a magnetic blanket that Iran is developing that if used over the US would completely shut down all electricity, computers, planes, cars, banking, phones, TVs, etc for months even years. We would not be able to buy anything or have the luxuries of running water or electricity. This very much goes along with the prophecies God has given me and I believe this magnetic blanket is the reason for the shortages that God showed me. I believe if it is used on us here in the US, it will not be used until right before the rapture. So stock up and prepare!!!!

Now, I have been known to read my fair share of comic books and have watched my fair share of bad movies but a magnetic blanket? Not even the genius of Magneto could come up with something so devious as this "magnetic blanket", though Cliff Robinson apparently had a similar idea. I am assuming that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad just recently got a Netflix subscription and came up with the idea that way. We know Dubya isn't behind it, he doesn't want less power he wants more.

Ah, the lovely rapture where a small portion of Christians are taken from Earth by someone who might as well be Xenu because they were pure, honest and true Christians. Actually when I think about it the number is pretty right on for the number of Christians who actually follow Christ's message. I for one would love to see the Rapture happen, just to see the response of all those Christians who weren't taken and see what they would do then.
