It's Time For Your Genes to Get Out of the Pool Now

According to NewsNet5.com, a California AIDS activist has sued the federal government, arguing for the release of documents that are connected to what he believes was a plan to secretly create the virus in an effort to kill blacks:

Normal Heights, Calif., resident Boyd Graves, 50, who brought the suit, is an Annapolis graduate who has also attended law school. He told the San Diego Union-Tribune that he believes the documents prove that the feds are responsible for the AIDS epidemic. . . .

Just how do you get to become an activist anyway, and how much does it pay?

Despite the fact that Graves is not a member of the California bar, he will represent himself in the case. He told the Union-Tribune that AIDS was created after decades of government research into developing a race-specific virus that attacks and kills blacks.

Graves also maintains that the government has withheld a cure for the virus. He filed the suit in December of last year and is attempting to procure from the feds a "flow chart" that maps HIV. Graves believes that the chart is stored in the National Cancer Institute's archives. He's also seeking to review copies of "progress reports" on the program.  

No you fool, don't you understand that it's part of the Alien Conspiracy to colonize this planet?

Graves has supporters in his quest for the documents.

No kidding! I would never suspect that someone in California who believes that a conspiracy exists to create and propagate the AIDS virus would be able to find any supporters.

Jan Stiglitz, a professor at the California Western School of Law, told the paper that judges are the proper arbiters of any cases that involve a citizen suspicious that the federal government is withholding information that the public has a need to know.

Ah yes, California Western School of Law, also known as The Harvard of the West Coast. I think I'll give Professor Stiglitz a call. I have had a firm belief for a number of years now that there are robots masquerading as humans in our nation's airports that have been stealing my luggage. I think I want to sue somebody. Since I'm a lawyer myself, I'm that much ahead of the game.

Actually, being a lawyer, I think a judge would hand me my ass, and rightly so. The sad thing is that stuff like this hurts the credibility of the organizations that actually help the victims of AIDS and the people looking for a cure. It also clogs up our courts with one more piece of bulls#%t that needs to be dealt with while somebody else is forced to wait for their turn to get justice.

It is an evil and unfaithful generation asking for a sign . . . Matthew 16:4

According to a news report, a guest evangelist was preaching Tuesday night at the First Baptist Church in Forest, Ohio, a small town 60 miles south of Toledo, emphasizing penance and asking for a sign from God. At that moment, the church's steeple was hit by lightning, setting the church on fire and blowing out the sound system.

I don't think that rhetoric like "bring it on" is especially wise at this point.

It's one thing if you're on the front lines. It's quite another when Daddy spent his cash to make sure you got into the National Guard.

Dubya, I'd suggest you pay attention to this or you'll go the way your Dad did:

Jobless Rate Rises to 6.4 Percent; Highest in More Than 9 Years. Analysts were disappointed by reports showing that the U.S. unemployment rate rose, jobless claims climbed, and payrolls fell in June. By Kenneth N. Gilpin. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

Of course, any day now that big tax cut will be kicking in to jump start the economy, or somebody's Porsche.

It's not as fast as Firebird 0.6. Also the same pages that didn't render properly in 1.3 still don't.
