Just this morning we read about Muslims at Fort Meyers playing the usual Islamic victim card. Of course other Muslims have followed their lead. This time Muslims of Chicago are looking to get the focus of non-Muslims, off of the Islamic attack and on to the security of them. Never let them take our focus off of the threat of Islam! One of the Mosques in the Chicago is the Bridgeview Mosque. Here is...
Remember, remember the Fifth of November... quoting Scott Leviant's Blawg Review #221 So I promised that I wouldn’t dwell on “that blawger,” the author of Charon QC and notorious host of several Blawg Reviews. But before I direct your attention to the best (or not necessarily so) of the blawgosphere over the last week, there is something I want to talk about first: Guy Fawkes Night,...
Before the advent of clocks and calendars, people were more in tune with nature’s timing; without electrical lighting they woke when the sun rose and slept when it went down, and they followed the cycles of the seasons as opposed to being a slave to the 24/7 hectic lifestyle most of us follow today. Following the cycles of nature; eight seasonal festivals have traditionally been celebrated throughout...
First, there was Halloween. We had a rockin' day at the cake shop, and Jenne, as per usual, went above and beyond by creating, of her own volition, these Halloween themed cupcakes: They're totally awesome, but even more awesome when you consider that, as an all-natural bakery, we never use food coloring, fondant, or shortening. It limits greatly the materials we have to work with when doing designs,...

I turned 29 yesterday. I'm not one to worry about getting older (for the most part), primarily because I love to celebrate my birthday. Usually, I try to have a huge party and am subsequently disappointed when I end up with a small party. So this year, I started small, stayed small. Four of us went to dinner at Quartino , which is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant in Chicago. We drank too much...
These people are cowards pure and simple and as much to blame for the calamity that has befallen South Africa. If you can stand it, read on but personally it disgusts me. Speaking at a thanksgiving service in Stellenbosch marking the organisation's 25th anniversary, Motlanthe said "every objector, every war resister and every ECC member were true heroes and heroines of our struggle". Hundreds...
All over the city last night people dressed up and gathered to celebrate Halloween. Many flocked to the MUSE party held annually at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where creativity and ingenuity and the artistic were in full force in the form of costumes. Here is just a small sampling of the insanity.
Haunted Trail entrance (those cornstalks are about 12 ft high) It may be November, but in Woodland Hills, you can still celebrate Halloween for one more day. The annual Halloween Harvest Festival and Frightfair at Pierce College continues through tonight. It's a mix of a family fun festival--think hay ride, a large cornfield maze and kid activities-- and two adult-themed attractions, which open after...
Posted by Jewish Israel In its annual International Religious Freedoms Report on Israel and the “Occupied Territories” , The U.S. State Department accused Israel of “governmental and legal discrimination against non-Jews and non-Orthodox streams of Judaism”. A disproportionate amount of the report is dedicated to depicting Torah traditions and Orthodox Judaism as oppressive,...

Light from Los Angeles, 175 miles away, can be seen to the right. | Photo by isubiker via Flickr It may be Halloween, but it is also the anniversary of a major environmental bill that affected close to 9.2 million acres of California desert back in 1994. The California Desert Protection Act brought us two national parks, one national preserve, millions of...
The Church of Scientology Religious Trust's building at 16th and P Streets NW is the site of a barricaded celebration of some sort today -- one which is blocking a sizable section of one of the District's major arteries this afternoon. (Obviously, I wasn't invited behind the curtain. I mean, you should have seen my last audit: whew!) Police are out in full force around the humongous 50,000-square...
Heading towards the WeHo carnaval last year (Photo by Tom Andrews/LAist) As it does every year, the West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval is expected to draw a large crowd of revelers, bedecked in all sorts of creative and colorful attire, all looking to pack the streets and celebrate the day. The event runs from 6 to 11 tonight, and is not for the faint of heart; it will be boisterous and crowded,...
Image by Miala via Flickr Time for a Halloween edition of the Idiot of the Week series, and what better way to do one but to honor some of the religiously-based anti-Halloween idiocy which rears its head each and every year. In my neck of the woods, this generally comes from the Baptists, so I'd like to honor Trinity Baptist Church (Wichita Falls, TX) Pastor Dillon. According to this article from their...
Halloween today. I've always found it strange and ironic that the god fearing US of A has taken so enthusiastically to this pagan rite and turned it into the strangest of public festivals. And now we have to suffer it too. I blame ET. Seriously. You can more or less date the British starting to celebrate, for want of a better term, this silly and pointless festival every year from the time when we...
