LawSuit against God tossed over lack of address

This has to go into the the strange but true file, it just goes to show some people have too much free time with nothing better to do but file lawsuits.

LINCOLN, Neb. - A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator's lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn't properly served, because of his unlisted home address. State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God.

He said God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

Chambers has said he filed the lawsuit to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

On Tuesday, however, Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk ruled that under state law a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a lawsuit to move forward.

"Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice," Polk wrote.

Hole in the judge's ruling?
Chambers, who graduated from law school but never took the bar exam, thinks he's found a hole in the judge's ruling.

"The court itself acknowledges the existence of God," Chambers said Wednesday. "A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God's omniscience."

Therefore, Chambers said, "Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit."

Chambers has 30 days to decide whether to appeal. He said he hasn't decided yet.

Chambers, who has served a record 38 years in the Nebraska Legislature, is not returning next year because of term limits. He skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians.

9/11 Seven Years Later



Well it's seven years later and the memories are still fresh somehow. I think for people of my generation what happened today seven years ago will become our watershed moment like the attack on Pearl harbor became one for that generation.

It's made me want to ask where were you when you heard the news?

Hollys Fund For Breast Cancer Treatment

There is a game I play called Blogshares it's a fantasy market that uses blogs as stocks. Recently a person has been trying to get help for a person who lives in The United States and does not have insurance. She has been diagnosed with breast cancer. For some reason I have been really bothered by this, I'm not a wealthy person, though I do want to help, so I'm writing in the hope that others may respond. I just don't understand how when we live in country's that are so rich, that something so basic as medical care can bankrupt a person or even worse leave them without the treatments that could save their lives, it just does not seem right, to me it's just plain wrong. There is a link below that will take you to Hollys site where there is more information about her plight, please visit it and if you have the means try to help.

Hollys Fund.

Photographer Documents Secret Satellites — All 189 of Them

I thought this was a very interesting article, also I liked the premise That How we look at Photography may have changed, that now some see it as a way of revealing truth of things that are hidden.His shots of 189 secret spy satellites are the subject of a new exhibit -- despite the fact that, officially speaking, the satellites don't exist. The Other Night Sky, on display at the University of California at Berkeley Art Museum through September 14, is only a small selection from the 1,500 astrophotographs Paglen has taken thus far.
