For sale by government: used car, loaded (with pot) A Mexican national is looking to sue the US government after Customs agents arrested and imprisoned him for driving across the border with 199 pounds of marijuana stuffed into his car's bumpers. The irony is that he bought the car, pre-packed with the pot, at a US Marshals Service Auction in San Diego. The car had been seized by the INS when it was used to run illegal immigrants into the US. The INS officials had apparently missed the hidden weed though. [Boing Boing Blog] Yes, these are the folks you're giving more power to. Would you have looked for pot behind your bumpers if you'd bought it at a government auction? 7:02:19 AM

Christian group wants to fly anti-gay banners over WDW no-fly zone A Christian group in Orlando is calling for a lifting of the no-fly ban over Walt Disney World so that they can charter airplanes to drag anti-gay banners over the park during Gay Days, an unofficial gathering of gays and lesbians at the park. [Boing Boing Blog] What is it with the Fundamentalist Christians, that they have to make anyone who doesn't agree with them completely miserable, that they have to intrude into lives and force their views down other people's throats? Fundamentalist Christians like this are evil people. They should go back to the bible and actually read it (that is, if they're literate), and then try to be a little less "Christian" and a little more Christ-like. 6:58:41 AM
