I predict many parties tonight

I was looking online to see all the predictions people had made for 2005 and if they came true or not. Well this commercial site put them all together for me, how sweet of them. So I started to click on the different links, hmm one after the other the links are broken! What on earth, why would this be? Also the links I had provided in my post last New Year's are also broken!

Why would these psychics take off their predictions for 2005 from the web? The psychics couldn't have been wrong could they? and trying to cover up their tracks? Well ok there are a few of these idiots whose predictions are still up online, and just as you would expect with the exception of a few general statements they made or 50/50 chances, nothing they said came to fruition in the past year.

I just really feel like it isn't even worth my time to read through all their crap anymore to make this a good post. I am just amazed that year after year these clowns get mentioned in the press. How many times do they have to be wrong before they are ignored? Here we even have an article today that goes on and on about this charlaton's predictions for 2006 and at the bottom casually mentions oh yeah, and by the way with the exception of a few predictions about silly local issues that anybody could have foreseen his prognostications for last year were dead wrong.

I make only one prediction here at skepticklish, that next year we will have the same slew of bs predictions yet again, and the year after that, and the year after that . . .

Sit down for your rights kids

There is still some hope for the youth of America out there just when you thought all was lost. Actually, aside from death and taxes, the only thing certain through the ages is that the older generation will complain about those damn kids today.

A real hero for kids today is 17 year-old Cameron Frazier who with the help of the ACLU is sueing his school because his teacher forced him to recite the pledge. Cynthia Alexandre berated him in front of the class at Boynton Beach Community High School and then she called the assistant principal who came in with a police officer to remove him from class. Gee it all sounds like what our country was built on doesn't it? And damn, Alexandre is a math teacher of all things! I thought it was only high-school shop teachers who were such jerks.

Pictured here is the jackass who called in the cop and kicked Cameron out of school. Assistant Principal Dick Poorman. Just look at this guy would you? Doesn't he just bring back images of being called into the principal's office when you were a kid? Hmm but look close, he's got a cute little doll or something sitting on his windowsill. He must be a sweet guy after all.

Where would christmas be without the Chinese?

Oh you know good old Atheist-China as many refer to it. Well no shocker that all that christmas crap you put around your house this time of year come from guess where? That's right China! It should just add to the warmth around the tree tomorrow morning knowing that the ornaments were made by some 12-year old girl in a factory in Zheijiang!

It sort of brings the whole world together on this special day doesn't it? Hey, well good for them that they can get some bucks out of our religious holidays. For those who complain that jesus has been taken out of the holiday here, well the Chinese are turning christmas into a huge completely jesus-free holiday in their homeland!

So christians enjoy your special day, your toys and cheap crap will be broken by January and those wicked Atheists in China will have the last laugh.

Special christmas message for those christian conservatives

Since its your special time of year now when your thoughts supposedly shift towards giving and goodwill here's a thought. RELEASE JACK KEVORKIAN! His parole was just denied again, I guess you all won't be happy until he dies in prison. Its no suprise to me that your christmas spirit includes locking up harmless old doctors that care nothing for themselves and only live to help others. After you gather around the tree with your family giving each other a bunch of crap you don't need, maybe you can take a minute to send an email to Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm urging her to step in and release Jack. Then you can go back to your self-indulgent holiday.

Sleep in, schools out!

As I head out on a brief road trip at the start of my vacation I will leave you with a great article to keep you busy. It's an Atheist Manifesto by Sam Harris, gather the whole family around the fireplace and enjoy!
