If this restaurant were in my town, I’d be eating here every single time I went out. Unfortunately, I live on the wrong end of the state. I will, however, be in Omaha later this summer.

If you head on over to High School Memes, you’ll see that Gering has its own, very accurate page. Here are a few of them.

I’m sure there will be more, so check High School Memes to see what new ones pop up.

There are currently three bills in the Nebraska Legislature, LB380, LB485, and LB385, that affect the issue of homosexuality, including the prohibition of discrimination and allowances for unmarried and homosexual couples from adopting children. Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers questions some people who are speaking against the bills.

Gordon Opp doesn’t understand genetics, yet he seems to think he knows whether or not homosexuality is genetic.

Later in the video, Dr. Edward Stringham, a Christian psychologist is questioned by Chambers. Stringham wants the Board of Mental Health to allow psychologists to refuse to treat gay patients as well as refuse to refer them to someone who would help them if the person doesn’t believe as they do.

We need more people like Ernie Chambers and less people who are so intolerant like Gordon Opp and Dr. Stringham.

While Norm and Christy Strong can do whatever the fuck they want with their money, I also have the right to be pissed off about it. They received $2500 from Monsanto for being kiss-asses to the horrible company and then turned around and gave it to Community Christian School. Yeah, that’s a good idea. Take money from the most unethical company on the planet whose only desire is more money and couldn’t give a shit about you, me, the environment or anything else on this planet and then turn around and give that money to further indoctrinate unsuspecting youths into a religion of bullshit and intolerance.

I haven’t been around much lately due to the fact that my old mouse sucks. You see, last month, I built myself a new computer. It’s a great computer, but I had one problem. My mouse hated me. I’ve had it since about 1999. It is a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. It’s worked perfectly since the day I bought it.

The problem is that, since I upgraded to Windows 7, I’ve had constant stuttering of the mouse and it would freeze every few days causing me to use the keyboard to shut down all my programs and then reboot. I spent countless hours googling and doing everything I could to fix it. The problem only got worse. Instead of freezing every few days, it went to every day, then several times a day. Yesterday, I had to reboot 17 times in four hours and I was irate. Let’s just say that swear words were used. So, I broke down today and went to Staples. I bought a Logitech M570 and absolutely love it.  It fits my hand perfectly.

So far, I’ve had no stuttering or lag on the mouse. I’m hoping that the freezing is gone as well. I didn’t want to have to buy a new mouse, but I think more than a month’s worth of troubleshooting with no success warranted it. If it truly was the old mouse, then I can get back to spending my free time writing instead of swearing and googling.
