And the Hymers keep fighting

The Hymes clan continues to give Little Miss Attila a whole lot of attention.

Even through another member of Baptist Tabernacle, that is initiating contact, which is in general the fastest way to get me to blog about the Hymerses. (The other two things that will get me to do it are when I get heart-wrenching stories from former cultists that I’m given permission to publish [with names redacted, natch], or when Dr. R.L. Hymers gets media coverage.)

She links to and comments on the response of the “church” but shows the difference between the pair.

When one side in a dispute is willing to link to both sides and let people make up their own mind while the other runs to the FBI, tell me who is more confident in their beliefs?

My latest Examiner column: All politics is local A conversation with Annie DiMartino

You might remember Annie DiMartino from the Scott Brown Election, I have a new interview with her at Examiner.com that I encourage you to take a peek at and not just because of the 3/4 of a cent I’ll make a hit: A quick peek:

In the mid 60’s a young girl came to the United States with $17 dollars and a borrowed suitcase to work as a nanny. Today (June 5th) Annie DiMartino will attend the Democratic State Convention in Worcester as she has for decades.

Although we disagree on a few issues (at times I was the only republican in her diner) if more democrats were like Annie DiMartino both the democratic party and America would be better off.

I’m going to give everyone the weekend off for long reasons why you should kick into the Am I worth half as much as Andrew Sullivan fundraiser and just give a quick one instead along with a thank you to those who have kicked in so far.

You should kick in because George Soros sure won’t, particularly after my posts on Israel this week. So If Soros isn’t going to do it I’ll have to rely on you to hit DaTipJar.

Tornado watch and Severe Thunderstorm Warning …

in the area. Tornado activity is not something you see often around here and the storm track indicates it should miss here but if it changes direction blogging might be interupted.

If you are in the path of this storm I suggest in addition to seeking shelter unplug your pc etc. If you have a guarantee on your surge protector that is good, but not having to make the claim and having a working PC…that’s better
