You know that lying is a sin, right?

Oh hows I hates me some hypocrites. I hates ‘em like crazy.

“Hi, my name’s Pat Robertson and I’m the president of the Christian Coalition and I want advocate for the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. What? Murder is a sin you say? Oh, well I guess I had better lie to cover my tracks… What the hell do you want now? Lying is also a sin? God damnit! Taking the Lord’s name… uh huh… another fucking sin?! What is going on here? How the fucking shit am I supposed to run the Christian Coalition when almost everything I do is counter to Christian commandments? I guess I should do the world a favor and collapse the whole organization and kill myself.”

Sounds great, Pat. At least you wouldn’t be a hypocrite anymore.

The other hypocrites recently were the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They sent us some garbage in the mail about how wiccan, lesbian, neo-liberal, space-race assfuckery* was ruining a child’s right to go to school and beat the sin out of heathens or some such bullshit and to prove their point they used “A quote from a speaker at a recent Ivy League graduation ceremony”. That quote?

The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of it’s forms - greed for life, for money, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed - you mark my words - will save that malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

And then after that quote they were all, “How dare these fork-tongued, ass-licking, Baalists pervert our nation with their lies?” and I actually laughed out loud.

ACWF was like, “What?” and I read the quote to her and she was like, “So?” and I was like, “This would actually MEAN something if they hadn’t ripped off Gordon FUCKING Gecko in a MOVIE called Wall Street!”

These people seriously put the “lies” in evangelize. What the shit is going on here?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If Jesus came back** and saw what had been done in his name he would vomit uncontrollably for the rest of eternity.

*Don’t ask me what it means, it was their screed.

**Or actually existed in the first place. But that’s just me.

Me vs. The Ants

We have ants. Like serious, hardcore ants. None of this Antz bullshit with a pussified, neurotic Woody Allen ant who can’t seem to get his shit together. None of this Bug’s Life bullshit with cutesy-wootsy little ants scurrying around trying to be all innocent about porking each other until they have a brood of larvae. I’m talking about a serious infestation. Like our entire backyard is an extended ant hill.

Like if we leave food out for longer than 30 seconds it gets swarmed by hundreds of ants.

(Speaking of leaving food out, the maggots from yesterday were being consumed by the ants when I got home from work. The ants had crawled up the side of the 3.5 foot tall trashcan, down the inside, and were trying to haul the maggots, writhing and wriggling, back up and out of the trashcan. I helped them out by covering them in lighter fluid and setting them on fire. Did you know maggots pop in the fire? It’s gross. But I didn’t know how to feel about the ants. On the one hand, they’re bastard ants. On the other hand, they were helping out with the maggot problem. I didn’t really shed any tears when I torched their asses though, so I guess I still don’t really like them.)

At first ACWF was spraying them with glass and surface cleaner and just letting the ant die in a puddle of lemon scented bubbles. Finally she started taking my approach of just crushing them with her finger. I’m glad to see how quickly she overcame her fear.

We put some poison down outside, and traps inside (nothing that the cat can get into) but I think this will just stave them off until the winter. I imagine we’re going to come at the ants hard as soon as everything begins to thaw in the spring, and we just have to give up this summer as lost.

Anybody have any ant advice?
