Scientology Illustrated. Tom Cruise is lobbying politicians for money. (MSNBC) Will the story of Xenu (left) be taught in schools? Will our government fund it? Will the Thetans ever recover their god-like powers? MSNBC: "TOM IS A big believer in the teaching tools of Scientology and has spoken in the past about how it cured his dyslexia," says alternative religion expert Rick Ross. "It looks to me like he is seeking federal funds for Scientology schools under President Bush's Faith-Based Initiative." What does The Church of Scientology need money from the Government for? Is the most expensive religion in the world running out of money from Suing and Harrassing everyone who speaks out against Scientology? [MetaFilter] permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?

Out of the Blue This was posted at cogitaterz "TV Guide reports that an upcoming UFO documentary ("Out of the Blue", Sci Fi, 6-24, 9PM) is low key and features interviews w/ gov. leaders, high military officers and astronauts who 'go on the record in such a matter of fact way that the show has been endorsed by the Skeptics Society'. This may be of interest to some 'taterz. The Society publishes a mag that I read and has a web site but I've have seen no endorsement from them. Nevertheless I will watch it. Unconvinced Skeptic" I Goog'd it with - "Out of the Blue" sci-fi - and the first hit was Out of the Blue.tv Naturally I went to their Clips section, and viewed a short clip of an interview with astronaut Gordon Cooper on his sighting of a landing on a dry lake bed, with simulated animation. So, I'll be watching. permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?

View the Index of Posts Kudos and thanks to Rogers Cadenhead, guru of Java and Radio Userland, for quickly responding to my request for a way to index the posts. The old calendar is now replaced with a button, -Blog Index, which will open a new window to a page containing the post Titles and Permalinks to the posts. I found that Permalinks permalink by looking at the index instead of having to go through the calendar or think of the word and Google it. YAY! I know I'll be buying his upcoming book Radio UserLand Kick Start when it's available. [Cadenhead's Workbench] permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?
